The Deepest Night

By: Shana Abe

Narrated by: Elizabeth Sastre, Rich Orlow

It's 1915, and sixteen-year-old Lora Jones is finishing up her first year as a charity student at Iverson, a prestigious, gothic boarding school on England's southern coast. While she's always felt different from everyone around her, now she finally knows why: She is a drákon, a rare, enchanted being with astonishing magical abilities. As war hits Britain's shores, and Lora reels from an unimaginable loss, she finds that her powers come with grave and dangerous responsibilities.

At the request of Armand Louis, the darkly mysterious boy whose father owns Iverson, Lora will spend her summer at his lavish estate. To help the war effort - and to keep Lora near - Armand turns his home into a military hospital, where Lora will serve as a nurse. For Armand is inescapably drawn to her - bound to her by heart-deep secrets and a supernatural connection that runs thicker than blood. Yet while Lora tries to sort out her own feelings toward Armand, fate offers an unexpected surprise. Lora discovers there is another drákon, a prisoner of war being held in Germany. And that only she, with her newly honed Gifts, will be able to rescue him. With Armand at her side, Lora will cross enemy lines on an incredible mission - one that could bond her to Armand forever, or irrevocably tear them apart.

Great book!!

I was hooked for the first page of the first book. The second does not disappoint at all! I love the story and I love the characters. Honestly it was hard to stop listening. Shana Abe has such a beautiful way with words and paints a picture so vividly in your mind , making her books the type you think about all day.

The descriptions of the Dragons

Loved the narration and how the characters were interwoven into WWII Europe. The author did a wonderful job igniting interest in Dracon’s and Dragons.
