About this listen

Sixteen-year-old Neryn is alone in the land of Alban, where the oppressive king has ordered anyone with magical strengths captured and brought before him. Eager to hide her own canny skill - a uniquely powerful ability to communicate with the fairy-like Good Folk - Neryn sets out for the legendary Shadowfell, a home and training ground for a secret rebel group determined to overthrow the evil King Keldec.

During her dangerous journey, she receives aid from the Good Folk, who tell her she must pass a series of tests in order to recognize her full potential. She also finds help from a handsome young man, Flint, who rescues her from certain death - but whose motives in doing so remain unclear.

Neryn struggles to trust her only allies. They both hint that she alone may be the key to Alban's release from Keldec's rule. Homeless, unsure of who to trust, and trapped in an empire determined to crush her, Neryn must make it to Shadowfell not only to save herself, but to save Alban.

IF you can get past Henrietta Mere’s OTT narration it’s a great story if you enjoy fantasy fiction. I loved the ‘little folk’ but read others reviews & listen to the sample as the over dramatisation gets on your nerves sadly!!

Great story shame about narrator

What an unexpected gem. I loved every minute of it. Listen to the sample, decide for yourself if acting suits you. I myself found it perfectly matching the story and characters.

im sorry, i tried so hard to enjoy the story but, having to listen to someone who constantly sounds like shes about to cry or something terrible is busy happening, is exhausting

i cant get over the narrator...sorry

Juliet Marillier can certainly write a great story. However this narrator has a tragic tone which is at odds with the feisty heroine whose tale it is.

Good story, mournful narration

I love Juliet Marillier's books and Shadowfell is no exception. However, the performance is intense and hard to listen to. There is a lot of shouting, drama and abrupt changes in volume. I recommend people check out the sample to see if they like the narrator.
