About this audiobook
London is a powder keg . . . and Eliza Braxton is the match.
Imagine a London where magic is real . . . real, but feared. This is Eliza Braxton's London, and she has always accepted her place in it gladly. As one of the Riftborn, her magic has relegated her to the servant class, where she dutifully serves as the lady's maid in one of the most powerful households in the country. There, she uses her remarkable powers of persuasion to keep Elder Hallewell's rebellious daughter in the path to an arranged match of power and prosperity. Eliza has never questioned her loyalty . . . until now.
Currents of discontent are roiling beneath the city's surface, and Eliza's comfortable existence is about to be caught up in the tide. A resistance is building, a resistance that covets Eliza's talents above all else. But can Eliza betray everything she's ever known for things she never dared to dream?

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This narrator drives me nuts! She over pronounces each word draws them out, and I can’t understand why anyone hire her for their book. As soon as I hear, it’s Mary Sarah, I stop listening. She makes it all about her pronunciation instead of the story. The story should be enhanced by her narration, not taken away from.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brilliant story telling of a familiar topic, but told in a fantastic way. The magic could have been explored more, but I'm hoping that the next book will develop that part of the story. I LOVE this book and couldn't wait to continue to listen to it. The narrator is a perfect fit for the book!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great book! At first I was worried because the narrator is very slow and deliberate with her reading, buy it ended up only adding to the magic. I can't wait for the 2nd in the series to get an audio book(I don't have a lot of free time but listen to audio books on the way to and from work)
