About this audiobook

Rehya is a hunter with uncanny magical abilities – and magic has long been outlawed in Mennama Valley. Every winter, on the night of the Blood Moon, young women enter forced marriages for the valley's advancement and prosperity. But this year Governor Kyra has decreed that girls of just 15 must become Blood Moon Brides, making Rehya eligible. When her Pa dies, Rehya's plans of escape evaporate, and she is paraded in front of suitors on Show Day. And when she is chosen to be a bride, she lashes out. As punishment, she is sent to the Nest. There Rehya must decide: should she submit to the life of a Blood Moon Bride, or rebel – and risk everything to fight for justice? Content warning: Contains some violence and/or strong language.

Listening to this audiobook was mesmerizing. The narrator rendered characters' voices cleverly so they flowed and ran and kept the listener spellbound within the story. I've tried a number of audiobooks, hoping for something to listen to on long drives or doing chores but this is the first to draw me away into another world, the way reading does. I was so sad to leave it when, even as a young adult fantasy novel, there was torture and I definitely didn't want to be there anymore.
