About this listen

The epic and phenomenal West-African inspired New York Times best-selling fantasy from an incredible new talent.

'Only one thing is more powerful than a wish, and that is a purpose.'

Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady. The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince's Council of Eleven. If she's picked, she'll be joined with the other Council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood. That closeness is irresistible to Tarisai, who has always wanted to belong somewhere. But The Lady has other ideas, including a magical wish that Tarisai is compelled to obey: kill the Crown Prince once she gains his trust.

Tarisai won't stand by and become someone's pawn - but is she strong enough to choose a different path for herself?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

Fresh and utterly transportative, Raybearer is a fantastical fight for freedom, family and justice at all costs (Heidi Heilig)

The story is vibrant and complex. The people are layered and enchanting and the telling is strong and vulnerable. The motif of music is beautiful and the narrator does an incredible job at bringing it to life. Amazing fantasy book you won’t regret listening to.

Wow. A must read with an incredible narrator.
