About this listen

In the whole of Teronda, there is said to be no viler creature than the dretchen. Short, white-skinned, with fearsome teeth and claws, all Day-loving people think they are the worst of the thinking folk, vanguard of the horde of Night-cursed beasts that gathers in the forest to destroy all that is good and pure.

Ruby is just such a creature, spared from death as a babe by Cade, a war hero who did the unthinkable and took her back to the border village of Briaredge to raise as his own. Blessed by the Day but born of the Night, Ruby finds herself caught between two very different worlds, neither of which seems to have a place for her.

When the threat of war pulls Cade away from home and back into service, Ruby must defy those that hate her kind to chase after Cade, deep into the dangerous Night-cursed forest, and fulfill a divine quest that could not only save those she holds most dear but spark a change that could overtake the world.

Enclosed in this book is that story, A Dretchen's Tale.

This storyline was quite unique. With a range of colourful characters and an undercurrent of acceptance. Krys gives a heartfelt performance that really made this book great.
