Resumen del Editor

She's broken. She's dangerous. She wants revenge. And she has nothing left to lose...

Quistix Dedumal, an elf blacksmith, suffers a tragic, devastating loss the night a bandit invades her humble Bellaneau home in search of something called “The Illuminator.” After months of crushing loneliness, the disheveled half-elf is out for blood, seeing revenge on the man who shattered her once-contented life.

Soon, a wounded wyl, a brilliant esteg, and child-like dragonling soon join her on her cross-country journey, banding together in a riotous, misfit crew. But Destoria is a dangerous place. The isle is bursting with clever hybrid creatures, floating magical cities, budding romance, treacherous backstabbers, underwater creatures, infuriated inelm trees, drug-addled bandits, magical abilities, snow-encrusted landscapes, unique weaponry, and the Isle's sadistic, dikeeka-peddling new queen: Exos Tempest.

Magical beings

Great magical fantasy story. Leaves waiting for next book to see if good overcomes evil.

A Whole New Whole to Explore

Lovers of High Fantasy will love this story. I want to read more about this alternative world. The characters are so relatable that I cared what happened to them. High Fantasy is one of my favorite genres. I highly recommend this story.

Just as good as i knew it would be!

I read the book on paper when it came out and REALLY enjoyed it. So decided to give this a listen when the audio came out just for giggles. Really helped me understand a few things i missed. And the readers voice is like a hot cup of coffee on a snowy morning, just perfect.

Good first in a series!

Audio wasn’t perfect, but the narrators voice was pleasant. A very interesting story with a duplicitous queen and a grieving mother with mystery powers, seeking revenge.

Well done

This books takes you immediately into another world. The writing is very descriptive and entertaining. I will read another one by this author.

Must read

You get so engrossed in to the story that it’s so hard to put down . I also feel for Quistix in this story I can’t wait to hear what happens in book 2

Great story

Heather Wohl is a great author. She has a good imagination to be able to write like this. I can't wait to read the next book in this Saga.

I love this fabulous fictional world!

I don't want to give away any of the story. Please go into it completely open minded. There's some sadness, some mystery, some love, some anger, some whimsy. I can't wait to see where the next installment takes us!

Not gonna lie, as with all fantasy books, some of the words and names are hard to process. That also happens with written words but is especially challenging when listening to a book. Thankfully, the author's website has a helpful glossary of terms. Love it when authors do that!

The narration was delightful! It fit the fantasy world perfectly.

fun book

I thought the story line was really fun! I enjoyed learning about all the characters in this story line. I was a little bummed out about the ending although now it looks like book 2 needs to be read!

Captivating story

I had hardly a chance to get to know the characters when my heart was breaking for one from the beginning. Throughout the whole book I was captivated and left wanting to know what happens next. The only issue was the narrator to me it felt like her voice was dull. Apart from that the story was great.
