About this listen

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews comes a novella featuring Roman, our favorite Volhv wizard in the always intriguing, colorful, volatile Kate Daniels world.

It’s not easy serving Chernobog, the God of Destruction, Darkness and Death…especially during the holidays; and especially when you’re out of eggnog and one of your pesky, freeloading mythic creatures has eaten your last cookie.

Roman would like nothing more than to be left alone, but when a wounded boy stumbles into his yard and begs for sanctuary, Roman takes him in. Now elite mercenaries are camped out on his property, combat mages are dousing the house with fire, and strange priests are unleashing arcane magic. They thought Roman was easy pickings, just a hermit in the woods, but they chose the wrong dark priest to annoy. For while Roman might be patient, he is the Black Volhv, filled with the love of his terrible god. For his adversaries, it's a fight to the death, but for him, it's just another day in the neighborhood.

A wonderful winter themed novella that hits just the spot and gives us a little window into the life and challenges of Roman the Volvh of Chernobog. Probably should have saved it for December, but hey ho, I'm a member of the book devouring horde and I needed the boost.

Delightful

While it was lovely to listen to a different storyline and folklore the deeper voice of the narrator made it difficult as a person with a hearing loss in the lower range of hearing so had to listen to some parts several times over and losing the plot and then having to go back farther.

Loved the storyline

I usually love iona Andrews books. This one seemed overly discriptive and wondering. I found it hard to follow storyline. Im still unsure on what was happening on completing book. 🤔🙁 Dissapointed. First one of her books I've rated lowly. First one I didn't enjoy. Most of her other books, I can listen to or read again and again.

First book of this auther that I've found hard to follow
