RIFT A Nightshade Novel

Ember has been promised to the mysterious group, Conatus, since birth. This knowledge has made her restless, unsatisfied with her role as young noblewoman. Sile Bermingham’s youthful tones, colored with a strong Celtic accent, convey Ember’s eagerness to leave her home for a more exciting life at Tearmunn. Though her family is displeased, Ember’s happiness is apparent as she embraces life as a knight of Conatus. Bermingham expresses Ember’s fear as she learns that she will be fighting monsters, her frustration at dealing with an unwanted suitor, and her new fascination for her mentor, Barrow. When a plot to overtake Conatus through black magic is unveiled, Ember learns that not all of their own can be trusted. J.M. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2012]
