The Road

The Pale Huntress

By: B.D. Weddell

Narrated by: James Pryor

A forgotten place from a forgotten time, this contract shall test them all. After the events of the Irondell Plague, Angela Dragos is back at doing what she does best, with her partner Jacob Tepes finally recovering from the wounds he'd sustained. But now a new contract has come to the Black Hand, one whose offer comes not from counts or chiefs, but of two runaway children. When it becomes apparent that the Empire seeks them, they ask to be taken to a lost Nisthgúlian village high in the mountains to spread their mother's ashes. Angela and Jacob are accompanied by two other Black Hand Hunters, both of which despise the Dhampir for what she is and seeks to find out if she had bewitched the still young Jacob Tepes. Their long and perilous journey will test not only their trust in one another, but also their very strength to battle the evil forces lurking hidden in the mountains; a force in which will push Angela Dragos to her limit. Can they all work together to complete their contract and save their jeopardized souls from one who stalks the high peaks of Stonehollow, or will they too be lost like the village of old?

A worthy sequel!

I thought that the first book was a great introduction to a new series and this one took more extensive look at the world as well as the character of Angela. I was a bit nervous at first, but then the book just went at full speed and just did not seem to stop. The story was great. The acting was great. The music was definitely a bonus I did not expect. This was a blast to listen to and I cannot wait for the third book!
