Publisher's Summary

Sistina awakened after millennia of dormancy, her memories in tatters and born anew. Residing in the ruins of an ancient city, she finds herself drawn into a war between two elven nations and the slaver kingdom of Kelvanis when she rescues a princess from slavery.

With her domain containing hints of forgotten knowledge, Sistina becomes a dungeon, stronghold, and source of hope all at once. And perhaps, just perhaps, she could finally find love in her new life.

This is a dark fantasy novel suitable for adults.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Fair warning, the beginning of this story is strange to put it mildly but once you get past the background of how Sistina came to be it moves on to be normal? Anyhow I found this story creates a wonderfully interesting world for us to delve into, with many interesting and likeable characters and a story that held my interest to the very end, so much so I have already bought the following two books to listen to.

Perhaps I am a bit biased as I am a straight guy who has only ever been interested in females but I really don’t understand why so many reviewers seem to have an issue with the lesbian relationships within this story, non of which I might add is in graphic detail nor can I remember anything beyond kissing by participants. The story only suggests growing friendships of mutual kindness and love. Why should anyone have issue with someone else’s relationship when it makes no difference to ourselves outside of that relationship? To me this only suggests a hatred of those who are simply different.

I highly recommended this story for many reasons but in particular to all those that believe we should treat everyone equally regardless of someone else’s relationship choices.

Great Story of a Dungeon.

I purchased the book because I liked the author's 'Lilith's Shadow' book series. However, I found this book to be of a much higher quality. My only complaint is the narrator's inability to present distinct characters. Although, that may have been in part because of the writing itself.

Overall the narrator is talented and the book is very enjoyable.
