Shadows and Light

By: Anne Bishop

Narrated by: Erik Synnestvedt

National bestselling author Anne Bishop’s novels have been hailed as “genuine gems” (SF Site) and “lavishly sensual” (Library Journal). In her highly anticipated second book in the Tir Alainn Trilogy, she weaves a dazzling tale of romance, high adventure, and thrilling fantasy.

Ever since the slaughter of the witches, the Fae—who should be shielding their long-lost cousins from danger—have ignored the needs of the rest of the world. And shadows are again gathering in the eastern villages—dark, potent shadows that threaten the lives of every witch, woman, and Fae. Only three Fae can stand against the growing madness and help prevent more bloodshed—the Bard, the Muse, and the Gatherer of Souls.

Aiden, the Bard, knows how desperately the world depends upon the Fae’s protection. But the Fae refuse to heed his warnings about the wickedness lurking amid the trees. Now Aiden and his one true love—Lyrra, the Muse—must embark on a perilous journey to find the one Fae who can convince the rest to leave their secure perches to save the witches and mortals. Because if the Fae don’t act soon, no one will survive…

Oh so captivating and well written

A fan of the author here. Her imagination creates worlds that go against all I have learnt or imagined. I love the story set and how different corners are entangled.

Great storytelling!

The only downside to listening to this book was falling asleep! I would not realize I had drifted off until I woke. Thankfully I didn’t feel sleepy while driving and listening.

another great story

has you drawn in and so invested in character's lives. Love this series a lot!

Very much enjoyed

I had forgotten how much I loved these books. Revisiting them through audio was wonderful. I am often reluctant to purchase the audio version when I have the actual books but no regrets here. I can't wait to begin listening to Bishop's Black Jewels series when I finish these. And I will feel no guilt ignoring the paper copies in the basement!

Anne Rice never disappoints can't wait to read 3

Love the narrative if 3 is as good it will be wonderful and amazing
