SPICE ROAD Spice Road, Book 1

Narrator Krupa Pattani's expressive voice will have listeners eager to follow a team of magic-wielding soldiers as they journey across the desert in search of a traitor. Pattani leads the narration with her portrayal of Imani, a skilled teenage soldier whose brother is the traitor in question. Pattani's steady voice evokes Imani's determination to prove her brother's innocence. Imani just has to get Taha, the no-nonsense team leader, on her side. For Taha, Pattani's voice is reserved and commanding; it contrasts well with her guileful performance of Qayn--a smooth-talking djinn whom Imani smuggles into the caravan. As a love triangle ensues, Pattani excels in portraying the trio's flirtatious banter. Pattani's narration embodies the plot twists and emotional betrayals in this adventurous audiobook.
