"You may call me Tenzin, if you like." A girl. A mother. A slave. A monster. A survivor. Descended into madness. Forged in fire and darkness, she became one of the fiercest warriors the immortal world had ever known. But in the beginning, there was a girl.

Critic reviews

"Brutality. Death. Madness. Retribution. This is the origin story I've been dying to hear, and Hunter more than delivered. This is how a legend is born." (Colleen Vanderlinden, author of Lost Girl)

This was a short but immensely powerful installment in the Elemental Universe. You need to know this is not a happy book. It is dark, horrifying, painful, and gut-wrenching. But it is a well-executed book. Tenzin's origins come from a time and culture that western readers will find foreign and, without proper heuristic interpretation, despicable, but it is historically accurate. The insights it provides to the complexity of her modern iteration are intense and multifaceted.

Powerful and Painful

None in particular. The story revolves around the girl who learns to be what it is. An intense story, presenting a world that we dare not

What three words best describe Dina Pearlman’s performance?

I like Dina's voice, so I think the three words would be: Perfect, articulated and appropriate.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No.

Any additional comments?

Wonderful story, but very brutal too. Elizabeth Hunter wrote an excellent story, showing us how old Tenzin is, and how she she forged the many names it had during the long time of its existence: Girl, mother, sex slave, dumb, mad, warrior, goddess... until adopted the name Tenzin.

Good story, but brutal and sad

Tenzin is one of my very favorite of Elizabeth Hunter's vampires. Listening to her story fills you with so much emotion, the things she goes through and suffers so greatly break your heart but it also made her who she is. So Powerful! So strong! A Survivor!! And fiercely loyal to those she cares for. This is definitely one you want to read or listen to.
