About this listen

From the author of the USA Today best-selling GLASS AND STEELE series comes this captivating new fantasy.

The king's magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders, no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate, and only one servant has ever left. The haunted look in her eyes as she was recaptured by the palace guards is something Josie, daughter of the village doctor, has never forgotten.

For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself. Whispers of magic fuel Josie's desire to uncover the truth, but an ordinary girl like her can only dream of ever being invited inside.

When the king decides to take a wife from among the eligible daughters of the noble families, the palace gates are finally thrown open and the kingdom's elite pour in. In a court where old rivalries and new jealousies collide, the king's favorite is poisoned and the doctor is summoned. As her father's assistant, Josie finally sees inside the lavish walls, but she soon learns the palace won't surrender its secrets easily, for not a single resident, from the lowest servant to the king himself, has a memory from before the palace existed.

In the search for the truth, Josie is drawn deeper into danger, and the answers she seeks might shake the very foundations of the kingdom.

Didn’t see the end coming

I like stories where we don’t guess the “who done it” halfway through. It’s a fun listen.

A good start to a series

It’s definitely an intro to a longer story. I would prefer more of a cliffhanger at the end rather than a sudden end in a bit of a lull.

Very Good 1st Book in Series

I enjoyed this 1st book so much that I have already purchased and downloaded book 2 and will start it as soon as I post this review.
The MC (Josie) is a intelligent, smart, gentle, caring soul, but she defies her father and Captain Hammer at times. This appears to be thecase because her sense of right and wrong and her curiosity pushes her on. Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline

Brilliant

Classic story boy meets girl girl meets boy etc. The narration performance definitely on point. First time I heard her now I’m looking for the books that she narrates.

Language

The foul language could easily been omitted without changing the storyline. The story itself was full of suspense.
