An epic and exhilarating story of deception, love and revenge, from the extraordinary Sunday Times and New York Times number-one-bestselling author of DIVINE RIVALS. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J Maas and Shelby Mahurin. Brienna is an arden, a student of the five passions – art, music, wit, dramatics and knowledge. On the summer solstice in her seventeenth year, she hopes to become mistress of the passion – one who has mastered her area of study. But Brienna knows that she was not granted a coveted place at her passion-house because of talent, like her arden-sisters. She is here because someone wished her hidden. Brienna has never learned her father's identity. All she knows is that her mother was Valenian – from the land of elegance, etiquette and learning – and her father was Maevan. Brienna has never set foot in Maevana, but knows it is a wild, windswept place, fiercely proud of its ancient heritage of magical warrior queens – yet now suffering under the rule of a tyrannical king. Then Brienna begins to have visions: the inherited memories of a long-dead Maevan ancestor, who hid the legendary Stone of Eventide. If the Stone can be found, the rightful queen of Maevana can be restored to the throne. And Brienna has the power to do it. Swept into a dangerous new life of secret alliances, generations-old enmities, deep family secrets and smouldering first love, Brienna must ask herself what is stronger: the bond of chosen family, or that of blood . . .

      Suzanne Freeman narrates Rebecca Ross's story with eloquence and passion. Brienna and her new friends are fighting to overthrow the king and put the rightful queen back on the throne. Freeman delivers Brienna's strong personality and myriad emotions with confidence and mastery. Through changing tones she captures Brienna's hope, despair, love, and courage. Switching easily between female voices, she captures the bond that Brienna shares with each of the other female characters, especially the passionate sisters at Magnolia House. However, some of her male voices are not well differentiated, and it's sometimes difficult to distinguish one from another. Overall, though, this doesn't detract from the listening experience.
