About this listen

The third instalment in Isobelle Carmody's epic Obernewtyn fantasy series....

The powerful farseeker Elspeth Gordie is sent to Sutrium, seat of the totalitarian council that rules the Land, to seal an alliance between the secret Misfit community at Obernewtyn and rebel forces.

The journey takes her far beyond the borders of the Land, across the sea and into the heart of the mysterious desert region of Sador, where she seeks help to destroy the weaponmachines. But before her dark quest can begin, Elspeth must learn the truth of her dreams: she must understand why the Beforetimers destroyed their world....

I love when authors narrate their own work and its especially epic when each book in a series is 20+ hours long. Isobelle's quality storyline is complimented with her vibrant and diverse character performances. Cant wait to finish the series - Audible stop teasing and release them all please! I love Australian narraters, but she can do a lot of accents too.

Great story, great narrater, Australian!

I'm used to trilogies and am so glad the story doesn't finish here! Looking forward to hearing more. I'm addicted! The story drags you in and you're along for the ride. Can't wait to see where it takes these wonderful characters next. It's also great to hear the author read her own work. Thank you so much for sharing your talent Isobelle!

Loving this series! Absolutely enthralled!

Love this series!! Revisited it after I enjoyed it in high school and was not disappointed. The series seems to really find it’s stride in this book, lots of interesting arcs to enjoy. And a delight to have the author narrate!

Exciting to continue the dark path

The first time I read this I thought some parts were two drawn out, but when I listened to it again almost a decade later I really enjoyed the whole thing. Found it really suspenseful in parts and loved to see Elspeth maturing. She is beginning to find her footing and the quest she is on.

Thank you, Isobelle, for your words and your voice! I love this book deeply (as well as Obernewtyn and Farseekers). Raw, gripping, tender, and beautiful. I can’t wait to finish the series, yet I also want to savour every moment.

I loved this so much!!!
