About this listen

Kyra is the youngest Markswoman in the Order of Kali, a highly trained sisterhood of elite warriors armed with telepathic blades. Guided by a strict code of conduct, Kyra and the other Orders are sworn to protect the people of Asiana. But to be a Markswoman, an acolyte must repudiate her former life completely. Kyra has pledged to do so, yet she secretly harbors a fierce desire to avenge her dead family.

When Kyra's beloved mentor dies in mysterious circumstances, and Tamsyn, the powerful, dangerous Mistress of Mental Arts, assumes control of the Order, Kyra is forced on the run. Using one of the strange Transport Hubs that are remnants of Asiana's long-lost past, she finds herself in the unforgiving wilderness of desert that is home to the Order of Khur, the only Order composed of men. Among them is Rustan, a young, disillusioned Marksman whom she soon befriends.

Kyra is certain that Tamsyn committed murder in a twisted bid for power, but she has no proof. And if she fails to find it, fails in her quest to keep her beloved Order from following Tamsyn down a dark path, it could spell the beginning of the end for Kyra - and for Asiana.

Inconsistent Volume

Narrator has a lovely voice but I was constantly adjusting the volume, different characters had piercing/grating voices and on the rare occasion something 'exciting' was happening, the volume changed. I wound up listening on 1.75-2x speed because she spoke so slowly and stopped listening with 3 hours left. I just didn't care about anything that was happening. The book itself was excruciatingly slow paced, and the writing was just okay - characterization was shallow and stereotypical. I suppose a younger reader might enjoy it more.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
