About this listen

Violet Lasting is no longer a human being. Tomorrow she becomes Lot 197, auctioned to the highest royal bidder in the jewel of the Lone City. Tomorrow she becomes the surrogate of the House of the Lake, her sole purpose to produce a healthy heir for the duchess, imprisoned in the opulent cage of the palace, where the royal women compete to secure their bloodline and the surrogates are treated as disposable commodities…

The Jewel is The Handmaid’s Tale meets The Other Boleyn Girl, an intriguing dystopia for teen and young adult listeners.©2014 Amy Ewing (P)2014 W.F. Howes Ltd Romance Science Fiction & Fantasy

To date, this is my favorite audiobook. It is all due to the tremendous narration by Laura Kirman. Her ability to use different tones to depict each character helped to bring the book alive in my mind. I only hope to find another book as well written and narrated. I look forward to a sequel!

What a cliffhanger! Like the Handmaids Tale, but a modern telling of. Very very good, worth the listen, and the narrator is pleasing to the ear.
