THE CONTINENT The Continent, Book 1

Narrator Fiona Hardingham captures the raw beauty of a new land and the intensity of its people in this thrilling fantasy. Hardingham channels the determination of Vaela Sun, a sheltered 16-year-old who encounters unspeakable tragedy while sightseeing high above the icy, war-ravaged Continent. Vaela is rescued by the fierce Aven'ei people, who welcome her into their ranks. Hardingham conveys the depth of Vaela's love for the Aven'ei. As war with the neighboring Xoe clan looms ever closer, she brings Vaela's formidable courage into crisp focus. In addition to Vaela, Hardingham expertly voices a remarkable range of other characters, including jowly old men, implacable bullies, and menacing warriors, adding depth and breadth to this vibrant landscape.
