The Silver Sword

By: Angela Hunt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The auburned-haired O'Connor women share a bond far deeper than their striking physical appearance: These courageous, high-spirited women all push against societal limits in this exciting historical, romantic novel that spans generations and countries.

It is said that as Cahira, daughter of the great Irish king Rory O'Connor, lay dying of a wound from a Norman blade, she beseeched God that others would follow her calling. To Kathleen O'Connor, Cahira's story was nothing more than a fable--until research divulged that the tale was true. As a stunned Kathleen realizes that she herself bears the mark of Cahira, she wonders if she is destined to continue the legacy.

To uncover the answers, Kathleen delves into the past to find the truth about the Heirs of Cahira O'Connor. It is a journey that carries her across generations, from the battlefields of 13th-century Ireland to the castles of 15th-century Prague, and through a past filled with peril, courage, vengeance, love, and sacrifice beyond anything she has ever known.

Very interesting story.

Did not care for the virtual voice would rather hear a real voice. Story was good

Beautiful story

Again, once I started listening, I didn’t want to stop. You can really see and feel this story. I was right there with the characters the whole way through.

I’ll stick to real voices

The narration was ok. Just ok. I wouldn’t pay for it again. Sometimes the inflections were off. I had to think about it several times when there could have been different meanings because the voice was pretty much flat even though each character had a different tone.

The Silver Sword

I liked the story and the historical context. But I was not a fan of the virtual voice acting.

Interesting characters & storyline…

Story quickly got my interest due to very real characters with depth & substance. AI narration took a while to get used to, but the historical focus grabbed my attention, so the voice became secondary. Anika’s story, at first far fetched, was written in a way that made it believable, especially when woven within church history with factual characters/actual history. As I progressed in the story, I became caught up in seeing the outcome for the major characters, so tasks needing more concentration went undone for today!
