    About this audiobook

    "A story where reality and unreality are braided together until the very last page.It hit me in the gut. Must Read!" - Faith Hunter, NYT and USA Today bestselling Author "Searing, powerful – a story every person in this country should read. A.J. Hartley is as skilled a storyteller as I’ve ever encountered. To step into his imagination is to place yourself in the hands of a master." – D.B. Jackson, author of Time's Assassin. Trina Warren didn’t think she was going to be a hero. She thought she was going to go to fourth period, hopefully avoiding any more hassle from the jocks about dropping their plates at her waitressing job the night before. Then there was a bang, and an overturned chair, and everything was different. Now Trina finds herself in a fantasy world, pursued by a faceless, nameless monster that only she can stop. But she doesn’t know how to stop it, she doesn’t have any weapons, and her only clue is the necklace that arrived in a mysterious package that morning, with no return address and a cryptic note inside. She must navigate an unfamiliar world full of monsters, magic, and danger if she is to defeat the mysterious Soulless One and save her friends. And herself.

    Editor's Note

    Twisty adventure…

    This twisty fantasy adventure is more than it seems. When high school senior Trina is gifted special powers from a mysterious magical necklace, she embarks on a quest to save her friends from an amorphous monster. A moving tale that marries the fantastical with an all-too-real evil.

      The ending and words of the author were poignant. The rest was not so good.
    • 2/5
      This could have been a really good story but it seems the author did a little too many drugs and wrote a jumble of incomprehensible fantasy garbage that nobody can successfully understand.
    • 1/5
      NOT RECOMMENDED AWFUL STORY NO HOOK VERY BAD the only thing good was the narrator and a bit of the first 15min otherwise BAD!!!!! P.S: it had potential very sad of the waste ?
    • 5/5
      It’s hard to describe this book but I’m glad I stayed with it for the surprise ending.
    • 1/5
      Not a good ending, keep your politics out of fantasy!!!
    • 1/5
      Had I known the book was an anti- American political statemen, written by a non citizen who can't possibly understand the culture of America, I'd never have chosen to listen to it.
    • 1/5
      Narrator was good. That's about the only positive here. Writing was meteocre at best. Worst part was the fact that the whole thing turned out to be a political statement in the end with false "facts" to support authors narrative. I read/listen to fantasy novels to get away from the "real world" not to have someone else's ideals crammed down my throat.

      The story was disjointed and made little sense, understandably so once the author took us on a tangental rant. I'm sorry for their terrible experience, but prefer facts versus an unsupported opinion intended to make you believe it is factual. The book had potential, and I'm disappointed that they choose to go the route they did.
