About this listen

A journey of a thousand lifetimes continues...

Cairo, 1902. The Golden Age of Archaeology is in full swing. Leila Saber Wellington and her father, Lord Wellington, are back in Egypt after several years in London.
On the night of her arrival, she encounters Ripley Davies, the charismatic son of a prominent British archaeologist working at the Museum of Antiquities. Leila at first tries to resist her attraction to Ripley, but the two grow closer as they become embroiled in a series of mysteries that turn stranger and more dangerous by the day. Ones of baffling disappearances, an ancient, arcane statue, and a succession of vicious and ritualistic murders.
But as Leila and Ripley resolve to track the killer in their midst, they also begin to uncover the astonishing truth of their own destiny. They are a pair of lovers called Nin’ti, who are trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth and must endeavor to save humanity from the same fate that befell their ancient civilization. Only in this life, they are being hunted by an enemy from their very first lives together: a broken man and fallen warrior who has stalked them through time and is intent on having Leila for himself, even if it means destroying all of civilization…again.

Listeners have called Victoria Dougherty's new "Breath" series "haunting" "beautiful" and "breathtaking storytelling." Fans of Madeline Miller, S. A. Chakraborty, Jeff Wheeler, Sarah J Maas, and Audrey Niffeneggere will be enchanted by this epic story!

I was looking forward to hearing this after enjoying Breath. The story did not disappoint and neither did the narration, I loved hearing all the different characters accents. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of a couple of famous historical characters (not telling who, you will have to listen!) I did find this book a little bit harder to follow with all the jumping back and forth to different times and I will have to listen to Breath again then follow straight on with Of Sand and Bone to get the most out of the story.

Summary of the story? - You need to read/listen to Breath first as this is another incarnation of the eternal lovers lives.

Sensational eternal love story
