SO LET THEM BURN Divine Traitors, Book 1

Two incendiary performances make this debut fantasy soar. Five years ago, Faron became the Child Empyrean, a conduit for the power of the gods to overthrow the Langley Empire's hold on her island home. At 17, she's chafing at the title. An angsty edge to narrator Kamali Minter's voice distinguishes Faron from her scrupulous older sister, Elara, voiced by Keylor Leigh with steely brightness. Elara's dream of being a drake pilot is quickly forgotten when a peace summit brings Langlish dragons to the doorstep of the palace. Bonds of family, culture, and politics are tested as both sisters forge strange new alliances and an ancient dark power looms. Both narrators rise to the challenge of the intense action and emotion that drive the story. S.T.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2024]
