Fortified

Written by V. Romas Burton

Narrated by Jane Maree

Devora's perfect future shatters. Instead of attending Vlacklear Academy, she is sent to the Fortress-a prison holding murderers and thieves that make up the soldiers in His Majesty's Army. She fears it is the end of her.

Suppressing her forbidden Seeing abilities, Devora is thrust into the role of soldier, and must learn to defend herself while avoiding Warden Hazor and his ruthless right-hand man, Captain Blake.

When Devora's Seeing abilities are exposed, she's thrown into a tournament to win her right to live. She must turn to Captain Blake for help or be slaughtered like all the other Seers before her.

I loved how much Devora grew over the course of the story and how it showed that everything is not always as it seems. I also loved how it was narrated. I fully recommend it

Well I just found a new favorite series. I love all the characters and the part they play in the story. You can never tell who you can trust and when you think you have the story figured out nay nay you don't. Wonderful twist and intriguing characters the world building is amazing but not so overly detailed you loose focus just enough to draw you in and make you feel like you are there literally seeing everything. I would highly recommend this story and I am ready for book 2 especially after that ending! I would recommend the audio book as well I adore Jane, she is a wonderful narrator.
