About this audiobook
A dark, epic fantasy about a girl who must rethink everything she believes after she is betrayed and hunted by the religion that raised her—from Megan Bannen, author of The Bird and the Blade. Perfect for fans of The Winner’s Curse and The Girl of Fire and Thorns.
Gelya is a Vessel, a girl who channels the word of the One True God through song. Cloistered with the other Vessels of her faith, she believes—as all Ovinists do—that a saint imprisoned Elath the Great Demon centuries ago, saving humanity from earthly temptation.
When Gelya stumbles into a deadly cover-up by the Ovinists’ military, she reluctantly teams up with Tavik, an enemy soldier, to survive. Tavik believes that Elath is actually a mother goddess who must be set free, but while he succeeds in opening Her prison, he inadvertently turns Gelya into Elath’s unwilling human vessel.
Now the church that raised Gelya considers her a threat. In a race against the clock, she and Tavik must find a way to exorcise Elath’s presence from her body. But will this release stop the countdown to the end of the world, or will it be the cause of the earth’s destruction?
And as Tavik and Gelya grow closer, another question lingers between them: What will become of Gelya?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Made me cry, wasn't expecting that kind of book. Well written and really liked the characters relationship growth over time but man ?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Solid world building with a very good historical/mythic backstory and a sharp, gritty beginning. You know from the moment Tavik appears, that he's a lot more than a filthy prisoner. Watching he and Gelya verbally parry before realizing how much of a bond has grown between them is satisfying as is the journey they undertake and how certain players are so deceptive. I had to re-read the ending in order to get full understanding of the story. All in all a very fulfilling read.
