About this audiobook
An Unquiet Heart
Alone in her tower, Princess Oria has spent too long studying her people’s barbarian enemies, the Destrye—and neglected the search for calm that will control her magic and release her to society. Her restlessness makes meditation hopeless and her fragility renders human companionship unbearable. Oria is near giving up. Then the Destrye attack, and her people’s lives depend on her handling of their prince…
A Fight Without Hope
When the cornered Destrye decided to strike back, Lonen never thought he’d live through the battle, let alone demand justice as a conqueror. And yet he must keep up his guard against the sorceress who speaks for the city. Oria’s people are devious, her claims of ignorance absurd. The frank honesty her eyes promise could be just one more layer of deception.
A Savage Bargain
Fighting for time and trust, Oria and Lonen have one final sacrifice to choose… before an even greater threat consumes them all.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book more then I thought I would. Narrator was fair.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pretty good story so far, flowed well. I wish the narrator would use a woman's voice for Oria instead of a ten year old girl, too whiney and high pitched.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well written and compelling narrative, once i started listening I didnt want to stop. Good narration, I think the voice of Oria is great, and the voice of Lonen took a little getting used to, but I think works very well in the end.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've listened to all 3 books in this series, all in the one day. They were so enjoyable i just had to continue the story which was filled with really likeable, interesting characters, along with a great narrator to bring individual characters to life.
The only not really criticism, criticism, is that they are so short. For me, I could happily have listened to twice the length, I didn't want to stop listening.1 person found this helpful
