Story
On the Day of Reckoning, the witches of Eileanan were outlawed - and violations of the new order were punishable by death. Eileanan’s Great Towers, once meccas of magic and learning, were left in ruins. And now, the entire land trembles in fear. Yet deep in the mountains, in the shadow of Dragonclaw, a young girl is being tutored in the old ways. Ignorant of her past, uncertain of her future, the foundling Isabeau will soon be forced down a dangerous path of prophecy, conspiracy, and magic.

Story
An evil necromancer has kidnapped the royal twins, plotting to spill their blood—for revenge, and to restore his own family to life. Chaos reigns in the capital, and Rhiannon finds herself burdened with a heavy charge: to save the one woman she hates above all others. It will not be easy to forgive or forget that Olwynne attempted to steal Rhiannon’s true love, the handsome apprentice-witch Lewen—especially when it seems that Olwynne would still be her rival for his affections.

Karigan G'ladheon always seemed to be getting into a fight, and today was no exception. But as she trudged through the forest, using her long walk home to contemplate her depressing future - and the expulsion it was bound to hold - a horse burst through the woodland and charged straight for her. The rider was slumped over his mount's neck with two arrows embedded in his back. Wherever his horse was taking him, he would be dead before they got there.

Considering how much she longs to get away from the unexciting life stretching out in front of her, this might be a dream come true. Except that it's a village full of witches and Druids practising an ancient religion passed down through the centuries, and the priestess leading it is the calm, uncanny death worker Morghan Wilde.

Left satisfied yet looking 4 the next installment
Kate builds and weaves more magic in each book, yet nothing seems over the top and impossible. It is seamlessly written and narrated so that this world and its characters feel so real as if Kate has plucked them from history. Start from the beginning, get book 1 and venture into a world of myth and legend made real... then you will have to listen or read or both, all 6 books in their entirety.

story of finn
Missed reading anything of Lilanthe, Maya and Isabeau in this addition and instead followed the antics of Finn the cat - but hey, it was well done and I liked her. A somewhat immature tomboy but skilled when she needs to be. Good writing and story.

Better and Better
I didn't think it possible, but the alchemical combination of Kate Forsyth's writing and Elle Newlands' expert storytelling managed to 'ensorcel' me even further this time around. God, I love Finn. The characters are as rich as any colour on the spectrum, the plot spellbinding and the way Newlands manages to shape shift so uncannily with her voice is every bit as magical as the powers described in these books. Gosh, and what I wouldn't do for Kate's command of the English language and her ability to charm with it. Yes, I'm gushing. I admit, I'm a fanboy, but after one of the most diabolical years of my life this audio trilogy has felt like a poultice. Nothing but praise and gratitude for all who contributed to the weaving of this epic faerie tale. I can't wait for the next one!

A Must Read.
I have read the paperback version of this book more times than I can count and I have loved this series since I first discovered it. I was so excited to see it is finally coming out on audible. The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life and speaking in a clear voice. Although the accent is heavy, it is easily understood and really brings the characters different personalities to life. The voices used make it extremely easy to differentiate between each character. I highly recommend this book. If you love a story of magic and sci fi filled with great accents and a gripping story then this series is for you.

Good but the others were better
I have listened to all the books up to this one. This one was not my favorite. I still am interested in the story but this one kind of drags a bit. I think I am more interested in the other characters rather than the ones that are the main focus in this book. The one thing I could definitely do without is the singing. It’s unnecessary and kind of annoying. I am not sure why it was added but for me, it does nothing to enhance the story. I had to skip through a lot. I feel it would have been better if it was left out. The series if interesting and keeps you wanting to know what happens in the next book.

Best so far!
I can't believe how much I enjoyed this book! I was not excited about it when I saw it veered off into Finn's world. I thought about skipping it, and going straight to the next one. I was not expecting to love Finn's adventures more than Isabeau and Iseult's. But I did, and the narrator captured Finn perfectly. She is wild and full of spirit and doesn't take crap from anyone. I think I relate more to Finn than the twins, and I am guessing that is why I liked this book so much.
Definitely loved it and would recommend NOT skipping it, as I almost foolishly did.

An excellent continuation of a grand series
Ms Forsyth continues to bewitch me with her dense, exciting tale. Although I missed Isabo’s presence and story arc in this novel, as well as what was happening with Megan of the Beasts, Maya and her child, ‘Bo’s parents, Margaret of the Thistle, and more, it was nice to focus on Finn and her life. This was an excellent tale.
Regarding Ms Newlands, she is pitch perfect, quite literally. There are songs scattered throughout this book due to its focus on the route of jongleurs, and her voice is quite beautiful. And as always, her accents and chameleon- like ability to slip into each and every character...I must say she’s amongst the best narrators I’ve listened to.

This book moved along fairly quickly but it was a bit different by focusing on a previously fringe character, Finn. It was good enough that I will finish out the series.

So better than expected.
I didn’t really want a story about Finn as i prefer the Twins, but it was a wonderful conclusion for many of the retinue who gave so much. The narration as always was beautiful and clear with such a range of voices from one person. I am ready for the next story.
