About this listen

In a world struggling back from the brink of apocalypse, life is harsh. But for Elspeth Gordie, born with enhanced mental abilities that would see her sterilised or burned if discovered, it is also dangerous.

There is only survival by secrecy, and so she determines never to use her forbidden powers. But it is as if they have their own imperative, and their use inevitably brings her to the attention of the totalitarian Council that rules the Land....

I'm listening to this series for the first time, but I've already read it twice!

Wonderful Series!

I love this series almost as much as her Legendsong saga. If you haven’t read the Legendsong books Darksong & Darkfall) you must check them out. The Obernewtyn chronicles are really amazing, and Isobelle Carmody is just an all around great author.

Great book!

This book was my favorite teenage reads, I'm so glad it is now an audiobook. The world it builds is imaginative and original and this book is only the first of a long series. The author performs this book and she does a good job. If you like mind powers and young woman's quest against persecution in a distopian future then you'll like this book.

Awesome YA distopian fantasy

My sister in law got me to read the Obernewtyn chronicles years ago. I think of the books fondly and often. I was so excited to find the audio versions. Isobelle Carmody is fantastic!

Lovely author and book

I dozed off and on through this book after the first hour. So boring. Lots of tell, tell, tell, but nothing very interesting.

So boring I fell asleep...
