    About this audiobook

    "All the women of my family had gone to war... Now my turn had come... So, it is the custom that a free woman leave her mother's house to bind herself and those of her blood to a neighboring clan, either by the sword or by the cradle."



    So begins the story of young Tamras, as she embarks on her journey to become a warrior's apprentice. This epic story is not about battles and armor, but rather about relationships, coming of age and wisdom, and deep insights into the human experience.

    Winner, 2010 EPIC Ebook Award for fiction in the Mainstream category.



    "The strong, supple prose on display in all three novels, the intelligence of the plotting, and the skillfully varied pacing make this a standout trilogy--highly recommended."

      i think I have a new favorite book!!! I am still under its spell, it will lure you in and becomes your new reality! Truly epic in every sense and the narration is so perfect that I am afraid to listen to anything else for a while...
    • 5/5
      This book is amazing.

      Pace is slow but for a fictional fantasy book there is so much wisdom and so many feelings in there.
      The characters are beautifully written and deep with layers and each of their own goals and meanings.

      The narration is good, there is even some beautiful singing in there
    • 3/5
      This book was slow and steady. I kept waiting for the crescendo or plot twist, but that never came. I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.
    • 5/5
      Magnifique livre. Il y a 3 volumes mais ils ne se lisent que comme 1 seul et unique volume
      J'ai beaucoup aimé l'écriture poétique et le fait que ce ne soit pas un livre sur la guerre physique où c'est le plus fort qui triomphe, mais au contraire que ce soit une joute verbale.
      Je recommande fortement ce livre ainsi que les deux autres volumes
