THE MIDNIGHT GIRLS

Narrator Emily Ellet offers an immersive and emotional performance in this stand-alone fantasy. Marynka, warmly voiced with bubbling overconfidence, must obtain the Lechija prince's pure heart to prove herself to her grandmother. Zosia, given a darker tone and a gentle, cautious voice, competes for the same prize in order to obtain the heart's power for herself. In scenes of snowy nights and fairy-tale-like masquerades, the girls use magic to battle over the heart, only to find themselves slowly falling for each other along the way. Disaster threatens the freedom they both ultimately seek as both girls push their ambitions to their limits. Ellet's vocal versatility creates distinct character voices, and her passionate narration will have listeners swooning to the very last minute.
