A must-listen for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse, transforming The Hunchback of Notre Dame into a powerful tundra-inspired epic.

Before the massacre at Nariin, Enebish was one of the greatest warriors in the Sky King's Imperial Army: a rare and dangerous Night Spinner, blessed with the ability to control the threads of darkness. Now, she is known as Enebish the Destroyer―a monster and murderer, banished to a monastery for losing control of her power and annihilating a merchant caravan.

Guilt stricken and scarred, Enebish tries to be grateful for her sanctuary, until her adoptive sister, Imperial Army commander Ghoa, returns from the war front with a tantalizing offer. If Enebish can capture the notorious criminal, Temujin, whose band of rebels has been seizing army supply wagons, not only will her crimes be pardoned, she will be reinstated as a warrior.

Enebish eagerly accepts. But as she hunts Temujin across the tundra, she discovers the tides of war have shifted, and the supplies he's stealing are the only thing keeping thousands of shepherds from starving. Torn between duty and conscience, Enebish must decide whether to put her trust in the charismatic rebel or her beloved sister. No matter who she chooses, an even greater enemy is advancing, ready to bring the empire to its knees.

      Narrator Natalie Naudus delivers an emotionally engrossing performance in this Hunchback retelling with a magical twist. After losing control of her night-spinning powers and murdering an entire caravan, Enebish, now known as the Destroyer, is banished to a monastery. Maimed, with her powers blocked, and overwhelmed by guilt, Enebish eagerly agrees to commandeer adoptive-sister Ghoa's opportunity to capture a war criminal and to be reinstated as a warrior. Naudus creates distinct voices for each character--from Ghoa's unwavering confidence to Enebish's careful anxiety. Naudus's meticulous pronunciations and tone of wonder add to the immersiveness of a story with remarkable world-building. Naudus's precise pacing escalates the intensity, and listeners will be captivated from start to finish. A.K.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
