A dangerous secret. A deadly skill.

Nya is an orphan struggling for survival in a city crippled by war. She is also a Taker - with her touch, she can heal injuries, pulling pain from another person into her own body. But unlike her sister, Tali, and the other Takers who become Healers, Nya's skill is flawed: she can't push that pain into pynvium, the enchanted metal used to store it. All she can do is shift it into another person, a dangerous skill that she must keep hidden. If discovered, she could be used as a human weapon.

But one day Nya pushes her luck too far and exposes her secret to a pain merchant eager to use her shifting ability for his own sinister purposes. She refuses - until Tali and other League Healers start disappearing mysteriously. Now Nya must decide: How far will she go to get Tali back alive?

I really loved listening to this story. I really wish that the third book was on here, too.

loved the story

I was delighted to find Luci Christian narrating a book I'd read almost 5 years ago. I was not disappointed and got this one as a refresher before listening to book 2, which is the one I was actually looking for. The world is interesting, the characters are well written, and I can't wait to dive deeper into it.

Amazing world, characters, story, and narration

Nice story, believable characters. Definitely worth a listen, or a read
Narration is terrific, Luci adds just the right amount of inflection etc to the different characters. A little disappointed, that the 3rd book is not available in audio.
