A life to save. A journey to begin. A war to win.

At 19, our hero is caring for her sickly mother when a stranger appears with a shocking truth: Skyla Draken was born in a realm where magic rules, and mythical creatures roam. This land is now the key to curing her mother.

And so, Skyla must return to her homeland, but once there, she discovers a hostile world of warring kingdoms, and she meets with evil forces that would see her noble family dead. Things get worse when, during her journey, she has visions of a man and learns a secret that changes everything.

These events spark a race against time, but with the lives of so many that she loves at risk, can she find a way to stop the tides of darkness from sweeping away all that is good?

Great book but....

It was an interesting story line and the concept kept me entertained. I cant wait until book 2! The only issue I had was the narration. The narrator has great voice talents, but I feel that considering this book had mostly female characters it would have been better off narrated by a woman. He lost some of the emotion or feeling as the focus was trying to make his voice sound more feminine. The narration was very fast, early on in the book I had to really try and concentrate before ultimately rewinding and starting parts over. He is very talented and can do various voices which is great, but it probably wasn't a right fit for this book.

Just couldn't listen a second longer.

This very well could be the best book ever written; however, I won't know until I buy the physical copy. I do not like giving bad reviews. Actually, I'm pretty easy to please. However, the narrator completely ruined this book for me. When he voiced the women, it just sounds like he's mocking them. Honestly bummed because I was so excited to listen to this book as I had been FULLY submerged into the wonderful world that the author had created. S.B Nova, if you're reading these, I am BEGGING you to bless us with the next Outcast book. 🙏

LOVED this book!

Great story, well written, absolutely Loved this book!!!
Now I find myself waiting patiently (NOT) for book 2!

Narrator ummm..

The narrator was very talented but who at Audible thought that a ‘he’ was right for a ‘she’ book? His men’s voices were too rough and unappealing and his women’s voices made it difficult to imagine that the characters didn’t look like professional wrestlers.

Distracting

Unfortunately the narrator was not a good fit for this story. I Probablywould have liked the book a little more If I wasn't distracted by the narrator's Interpretation of a female voice.
