Summary

Standing on opposite sides of a looming civil war, two siblings discover that not even ties of blood will keep them from splitting the world in two.

Four hundred years ago, a cataclysmic war cracked the world open and exterminated the Elder races. Amid the ashes, their human inheritor, the Dawn Republic, stands guard over lands littered with eldritch relics and cursed by plaguespawn outbreaks. But a new conflict is looming, and brother and sister Maya and Gyre have found themselves on opposite sides.

At the age of five, Maya was taken by the Twilight Order and trained to be a centarch, wielding forbidden arcana to enforce the Dawn Republic's rule. On that day, her brother, Gyre, swore to destroy the Order that stole his sister...whatever the cost.

Twelve years later, brother and sister are two very different people: she is Burningblade, the Twilight Order's brightest prodigy; he is Silvereye - thief, bandit, revolutionary.

Awfully read!

The story itself is great fun and I got this to listen to on the way to and from work when I am not reading the book on Kindle. However, I couldn't get through more than an hour due to the frankly woeful narrator. The male voices she puts on are comically bad. Which doesn't help when one of the two main characters is a male. The other voices are... not great either, but more natural. I would not recommend.

Great story, over-enthusiastic narration

The writing and story are top-notch. The narrator is clearly very talented, but her performance of certain characters is so over-the-top that I had to grit my teeth to get through it.
