In a world divided by light and
dark magic, Lucie lives between two worlds. Her father a light magician, her mother
a light magician born to dark, their love was forbidden. When Lucie’s mother
gets murdered by the light guards and her father was put in the death cages,
she managed to get her father free, but unknowingly became a symbol for the
revolution. Now the dark magicians known as the San Merci, 2 years later, are
starting a bloody revolution in her name. Torn between the man she loves, Ethan
Striker and the revolution that wants him dead, can Lucie enact change without
costing herself her boyfriend?
Narrator, Lisa Larsen does a great
job of bringing to life Lucie’s world with unique voices and great narrative
pace. The secondary characters, however are a bit under developed and their
motives feel forced. The plot is well developed, but extremely far-fetched,
even for a fantasy. I’d definitely listen to this narrator again, but probably
won’t listen to a sequel in this series. If listeners are die-hard, dark
fantasy fans, you might enjoy listening to this audiobook.
3 stars, Grades 8 to 12
