Review:
"Psychics, priestesses, secret societies and ancient mysteries abound in this thrilling mystery with a touch of romance, spanning thousands of years, with a storyline so close to 'real' science and history that it almost seems not to be fantasy or science fiction. ... Reader Edwina Wren presents voices from the 13th, 19th and 21st century, in accents ranging from common European and Romanian, Bedouin, the serene voice of Grail Priestesses and the deeply troubled villain whose “undead” existence spans many hundreds of years. This excellent performance so enhances the story that reading the book in the silence of page-turning is unthinkable, when compared to hearing the culture and voices of the characters through Wren’s artistry. ... This truly excellent production is worthy of at least two listenings, and will remain in this reviewer’s library along with its forthcoming sister-works." Author: SoundCommentary
"Edwina Wren’s sense of timing engages listeners in this fantasy romance novel featuring three women. Mia Montrose, a 21st-century Australian with a doctorate in ancient languages, understands how historical events may be linked across time. Ashlee Granville, a nineteenth-century clairvoyant, is forced to suppress her talents when entering the English upper-class marriage market. Lillet du Lac is a thirteenth-century French priestess. The three women belong to an ancient bloodline of Grail kings and are protected by Albray, a knight. Wren’s reading is so outstanding that listeners will have to remind themselves that she’s the sole narrator. She creates an assortment of character voices, raising or lowering her pitch and altering her accent to fit the variety of characters. Embracing the characters and the story, Wren creates an authentic mood and atmosphere for all three time periods." Author: AudioFile Magazine
