ACE OF SHADES Shadow Game, Book 1

Narrator Saskia Maarleveld deftly guides listeners through a seedy underworld of magical casinos. In New Reynes, the glittering City of Sin, fortunes are won and lost in a throw of the dice. Prim and proper Enne Salta wants to find her adoptive mother and leave this dangerous city. Levi Glaisyer, a scrappy con artist, needs to clear his debts to a mob boss before losing his life. Maarleveld embodies both Enne and Levi, giving them distinctive voices that reflect their very different backgrounds and making it obvious whose point of view prevails at any given time. Maarleveld also adeptly voices an array of secondary characters from society ladies to street rats with accents and vocal intonations to suit each one.
