About this listen
The epic debut YA fantasy from an incredible new talent - perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Sabaa Tahir.
Nothing is more important than loyalty. But what if you’ve sworn to protect the one you were born to destroy?
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?
With extraordinary world-building and breathtaking prose, Raybearer is the story of loyalty, fate, and the lengths we’re willing to go for the ones we love.

Amazing!
This is my first YA and fantasy read in some time and I’m so pleased that it was via Audible. The narrator brought a beautiful world, solid characters, and outstanding story to life in a way that kept me entertained to the very end. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved it!
So imaginative and extremely well read. I’ve already purchased the second one. I’m worried that it can’t possibly live up to the first, but here I go nonetheless.

Great Audiobook!
Pleasantly surprised, the book was much better than I expected. The narrator really does a great job voicing the characters and the worldbuilding is immersive.

Well Done
A strong story and wonderful characters. Perhaps sometimes the consistency of the character was lost - or perhaps I just expected a different reaction form them. The Narrator made me believe the languages and people were real. I felt like she was from this land herself and knew the stories like nursery rhymes from her childhood.

Ella Enchanted with an ethnic twist
The heading says it all. If you've seen Ella Enchanted, this story will feel very familiar, the drunk fairy, musical numbers, and talking books. Overall, most of the same plot points fit... Political injustice, family drama, magical people, actions dictated by enchantment, and a prince who is a better option, with the right woman by his side.

This story details love, friendship, and honesty. I enjoyed listening to it. The only problem I had is the continuous stopping and starting. I believe there is a glitch in the recording.

Outstanding!
This is the most creative fiction I’ve read or listened to in decades. The performance is equal to the narrative. Also not a YA reader AND…this story is ageless. I’ll be “re-listening” soon and highly recommend it to those who enjoy this genre.

Enjoyable but occasionally drags
The world and characters of this novel were amazingly rich and detailed, but I sometimes felt that the pacing lagged. I found it very fresh and the prose exquisite.

ABSOLUTELY Incredible
I had a full on blast listening to this story. I don't think reading it would do it justice. The story telling, accents, songs and emotions are perfectly captured throughout. Hope there's another one. Or at least more stories from this author. Well done.
