    About this audiobook

    They have always been among us.

    An ancient, enigmatic race, the Nahan have protected their secret world by cultivating the myths of fanged, bloodsucking monsters that haunt legends. Yet they walk through our world as our coworkers and our neighbors, hiding in plain sight and coexisting in peace. They survive…and they prosper.

    A shy young dreamer, Tomas wanders through his life with help from his good friends and influential family on the ruling Council. Now, he’s decided his future lies with the Nahan’s most elite class: the mysterious Storytellers. But his family is troubled by his new choice—and by his new girlfriend, Stell, a wild, beautiful, and deadly outcast from a fanatical Nahan sect.

    As Tomas descends into the dark wonders of the Nahan’s most powerful culture, Stell answers her own calling as an exceptional assassin. But when a lethal conspiracy threatens their destinies, Tomas and Stell must unite their remarkable talents against the strongest—and most sinister—of their kind.

      I really enjoyed two of Redling's other books, Damocles and Flowertown, but I just couldn't get into this one. The characters seem more like plot devices than complex individuals. The premise was compelling, but I just couldn't get into it.
    • 5/5
      I would definitely recommend this book to all and sundry who love urban/paranormal/fantasy type stories. This is just the beginning of a brand-new series by author, S.G. Redling and I cannot wait until the next book comes out to see what happens next to Tomas and Stell! Loved this story! I received the ARC from NetGalley in return for my honest opinion.
