About this listen

In an alternate Renaissance Italy where the church regulates magic and licenses magicians, fiery Fiametta Beneforte wants to be more than her goldsmith-mage father's unpaid apprentice. But when the Duchy of Montefoglia is laid under military and magical siege, she unexpectedly must join with Thur Ochs, a young Swiss miner and foundryman, to tap their skills in both metalwork and necromancy to rescue her father's soul and combat an evil sorcerer.

Bujold's flawless style on show again

A charming meditative adventure, in the style of Penrick, but set in something closer to our own world. Of course flawlessly read by Grover Gardener.

Excellent narration interesting tale

This was a pleasant surprise. Very good story well narrated by Grover Gardner. A fantasy mix of magic violence and romance in Italian Renaissance

Grover is wonderful

I quite liked the original reader of this book, but was so excited to hear that a new version was coming out with Grover Gardner narrating.

It's fabulous. I've always liked the Spirit Ring, but with Grover reading it lifts it from a good book to a really great book. More similar to the Chalion books than the Vorkosiverse, though actually standing alone in its own little universe.

It’s boring

I’m sorry but it doesn’t matter how good the narrator is a bad book is a bad book
