About this listen
Adriella always wanted children. Now, she finally has her wish. Overcome with joy, she cannot wait to tell her husband about her pregnancy...until she hears a new prophecy proclaiming that a child will soon be born - one who will destroy the high king.
When a royal decree demands the death of all young children, along with any born over the next two years, Adriella's life comes unraveled. Instead of the excitement of a new baby, she feels nothing but trepidation at telling her soldier husband. She decides to flee before he can turn her in.
With the high king and his men searching for anyone who defies his edict, she knows there isn't much of a chance she'll survive. But in a country full of newly grieving parents, on streets red with the blood of innocents, Adriella will do whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the law. If she doesn't, she'll lose the one thing even more precious to her than her own life: her child.

When Hazel is given the chance to parachute into Nazi-occupied France, she seizes the opportunity to do more for the British war effort than file paperwork. Alongside her childhood friend, French-born Rose, she quickly rises up the ranks of the freedom fighters.

This beautifully constructed family saga spans three generations set all within the macabre world of the civil war era American funeral industry where weepers, warners, death photographers and the new practice of embalming the dead dwelled. For generations, the women of the Fenn family have been traditional “weepers”; paid mourners who attend wakes and weep for the dead. Their counterparts, the men of the True family, are undertakers, or “warners.”

Adriella and husband having been trying to get pregnant for years, and when the good news happens...well, the king made his decree. She makes the decision to flee and that's where the story goes. Her trying to survive to have her baby. Along the way, it was interesting getting to know the cast of characters and their motivations. I liked the twist at the end, that was quite nice. Although, that twist was unfortunate for the characters.
Adriella was a pleasantly naive character. Her naïveté wasn't forced and came pretty naturally. She was always the good wife to her chosen husband, and a weaver (her job chosen already for her), and never really thought about second guessing the king. Until his rather violent decree.
I liked the story, though the plot did some meandering and I didn't quite know why things happened because they did detract from the story.
It's pretty clean story, with light romance (just kissing), no/minimal swearing, and some minor violence.
The story ends on a cliffhanger, but the rest of the books are already published!
The narrator did a fine job. I've heard others that I liked more than her, but she did a good job with all the different characters. Some of the pronunciations did seem a little off to me, but there were some unique names in the story, so that might be why it was like that for me.
