Publisher's Summary

The youngest in a long line of witches, Ari senses things are changing for the worse. For generations, her kin have tended the Old Places, keeping the land safe and fertile. Now, she finds herself torn between the world of mortals and the world of Fae, who ignore what occurs in the mortal world, for the roads between the two lands are vanishing into thin air.

Worst Narrator

I love Anne Bishop but considering her writing, why the hell did they choose a male narrator.

Narrator wrong choice

Voice was quite grating at times and made it hard to listen. And having a male read Anne bishop just doesn’t work. After listening to the others I was really disappointed.
