About this listen

When a heist goes terribly wrong and the binding spell holding 17-year-old Neva's powers at bay is shattered, the half-human thief knows she's in trouble.

Neva has always hidden her Da'Valian heritage while working risky jobs to make a name for herself and serving at her family's tavern, but she won't be able to hide much longer. She can either risk the safety of those she cares about or seek out her mother's people to gain control over her emerging powers.

The Da'Valia are beautiful, brutal creatures created by the god of war, and the austere Da'Valian soldier Astiand reluctantly agrees to take Neva to his clan under his protection. She makes unexpected friends, including the handsome fighter Emiliand, and a new enemy in the clan's ruthless leader.

Spying on her guardian, the sly heroine quickly discovers just how deep she has stumbled into a dangerous, developing clan feud. Will she be able to embrace who she is in time to keep her loved ones safe?

Born at Dawn creates a richly and impressively conceived world. It's well-paced and is a good read for any fan of YA Fantasy! I sometimes shy away from fantasy as I find the task of learning new languages and societal structures to be a bit exhausting but Christina Davis does an excellent job leading the reader into her world a little at a time and I soon found myself lost in its icy mountains! Would have been 5 stars except that I didn't love the audiobook narrator who does a solid job but I found her a little heavy-handed. Despite this, I recommend it as a read or a listen as it is largely personal taste. You won't regret listening to Born at Dawn and will no doubt be awaiting the next installment.

A world to lose yourself in.
