About this listen

From New York Times bestselling author, Jay Kristoff, comes a dangerous new fantasy world and a heroine edged in darkness.

Mia Corvere is only ten years old when she is given her first lesson in death.

Destined to destroy empires, the child raised in shadows made a promise on the day she lost everything: to avenge herself on those that shattered her world.

But the chance to strike against such powerful enemies will be fleeting, and Mia must become a weapon without equal. Before she seeks vengeance, she must seek training among the infamous assassins of the Red Church of Itreya.

Inside the Church's halls, Mia must prove herself against the deadliest of opponents and survive the tutelage of murderers, liars and daemons at the heart of a murder cult.

The Church is no ordinary school. But Mia is no ordinary student.

Critic reviews

"A brain-churning, gore-splattered monster of a book." (Daily Mail)

"With a delicate balance of the ancient and the magical, this tense and brutal tale is unflinching, thrilling and satisfying." (Publishers Weekly)

"Joins lyrical high fantasy, Pratchett-like humour and unflinching descriptions of violence.... Something special." (SciFi Now)

love this book, this story, so so much. great re-read. I'm refreshing myself for the last book.
my only issue?.. how the narrator portrays Mia..
she's this badass, sarcastic assassin.. but he reads her like a pansy. that is my only fault with this audiobook.

This is exactly the sort of book I love. Dark, gritty and otherworldly. I loved Mia so damn much from the beginning. I NEED the next book now.

When listening to books I always find it important for there to be a hook - something to get me to keep reading... And BOY did THIS have a good hook. I couldn't stop listening to this excellent book. Can't wait to get my next audible credit to purchase book 2!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Hooked from the start!

Reader repeatedly mixed up character names, in particular Aleia(?). He would say her name several times within a few minutes and still flit between pronunciations of her name. There is a point where he is quite clearly reading a female character (eclipse) in a male voice because they hadn't shown up for a while and he'd obviously forgotten they were female. Very strange this was allowed past quality control and not rerecorded, they're big mistakes.

Good book, but reader kept forgetting characters
