    About this audiobook

    Sometimes stealing a life is the only way to save it.

    Elkhana is the Mayfly Seer. Ripped from her family, drowned, and set into a magical cage, she lives only one day a year to tell fortunes for her former people.

    When Vidar meets her, he sees a resource he can use to save himself from his enemies and the torturous demands of his own liege and court.

    But the bond between Elkhana and Vidar is growing. She’s slipping into his dreams and changing how he sees the world and he doesn’t know if he can keep on using her now that he sees her as a person.

    Without her visions, he’s powerless against his enemies, but if he has the chance to steal her away from her cage, shouldn’t he take it?

    To succeed, he’ll need a plan, a lot of nerve, and all the bargains he can strike. Will it be enough?

    I write timeless stories. Not the stories you think you want but the stories you don't know you desperately need.I believe in happy endings and that it should take a lot of struggle to get to them.I believe that sometimes violence is the answer, that sometimes no one is coming to save you, and that self-sacrifice is always worth it.I believe in big twists and beginnings that start in the end.I believe in heroic acts of bravery, that chaos sometimes trumps order, that there's humor in dark things, and that risks are what you make of them.I believe in the someday that will make all things new.And I believe in stories - sweeping, epic, glorious stories that renew our hearts and our hopes and refresh our minds like woodland streams.Oh, and I'm a USA Today bestselling author. I suppose I should mention that.

      I tried to like this book, but it was a struggle to finish. I feel like there was so much potential behind the story. It has an intriguing concept, but by the end, I felt like I had only read a blurb about an idea behind a story.

      The story reads like diary entries, with the perspective jumping back and forth between the two main characters. While each chapter opens with the name of the character in whose perspective the entry is being given, at times, it was incredibly difficult for me to figure out who was speaking. There was hardly any character building. The scenes were sporadic and thrown together so haphazardly that it felt like there was no cohesive flow to the story. While the author gave brief explanations to each scene and character, there wasn't enough information provided to really make sense of things.

      The reader for the audiobook has a pleasant storytelling voice, but she uses the same voice throughout. She's just reading the book. I personally prefer audiobook readers to use more emotion and give different voices and personalities to each character.

      Overall, the plot premise the best part of this book. The author presented a beautiful idea behind the story, but the lack of cohesion and details, along with the flat tone of the reader, made it feel too scattered, empty, and drab.
