The Immortal City

The Magicians of Venice, Book 1

By: Amy Kuivalainen

Narrated by: Amelia Hugh

In the heart of Venice, a woman is sacrificed to a forgotten god, sparking a mystery lost for thousands of years.

Dr. Penelope Bryne is ridiculed by the academic community for her quest to find the remnants of Atlantis, but when an ancient and mysterious script is found at a murder site, she flies to Venice determined to help the police before the killer strikes again.

Penelope has spent her entire life trying to ignore the unexplainable and magical history of Atlantis, but when she meets the enigmatic Alexis Donato, everything she believes will be challenged. Little does she know, Alexis has spent the last three years doing his best to sabotage Penelope's career so she doesn't learn the truth - Atlantis had seven magicians who survived and whom he has a duty to protect.

As Alexis draws her into the darkly, seductive world of magic and history, Penelope will have to use her heart as well as her head if she is to find the answers she seeks.

With the new MOSE system due to come online and Carnivale exploding around them, Penelope and Alexis will have to work together to stop the killer and prevent dark magic from pulling Venice into the sea.

LOVED IT!

Its been a while since I was really drawn in by a story -- not so trite and predictable that I could skip chapters and not miss anything -- and not so depressing that I couldn't stand to listen!! It was fun, engaging and a good mystery. More Please!

Imaginative and Performed well

Highly imaginative and engaging story, and the narrator did an excellent job capturing the essence of the characters.

Wow great narration!!!

I really liked the story but the narrator of this audiobook makes it shine! I am so impressed by her work!

amazing narration

a little slow to start but I enjoyed the characters and their development through the story--looking forward to the next book. Amelia gave a wonderful narrative performance with every character

So well narrated.

This book (this series) is amazing. I can’t get enough of it. Amelia does an amazing job of not just narrating multiple characters but SO MANY ACCENTS! I was so impressed. I truly feel like she makes this book come alive in an amazing way. I truly feel like being able to hear each characters accents really added to them as a whole. Definitely recommend this book on audible whether you’ve read it traditionally or not!
