Truthseeker

Worldwalker Duology, Book 1

By: C.E. Murphy

Narrated by: Em Eldridge

Lara Jansen is the world’s worst liar. Literally.

Born with an uncanny gift to know when the truth is being spoken, Lara lives a quiet, risk-adverse life as a tailor. But when handsome, mysterious Dafydd ap Caerwyn enters her life and claims—truthfully—to be a prince of Faerie, Lara’s world is turned upside-down.

Dafydd has traveled from his world—the Barrow-lands—in search of a ‘truthseeker’ to help untangle the truth around his brother’s murder, a crime which the warring factions in the Seelie court can’t solve. Lara, determined to take a few chances with her life, agrees to journey to the Barrow-lands with him, but there, discovers that even her gifts don’t necessarily prevent people from lying to her...and that charming, irresistible Dafydd has secrets of his own.

Caught between ancient, bitter rivalries and a burgeoning evil wielding dark power, Lara’s own abilities grow uncontrollably, and the Barrow-lands may yet discover that truth is the deadliest magic of all….

Good book.

Had a really hard time listening to. Got better by books end but find it hard that it was left that way. Good voice, but damn that narration was listening torture. Was there no one to listen and say try again, without the constant pauses and over pronouncing , and neutrality of voice inflection through out the vast majority of narrative ? Good book , but badly done in my opinion.

Great story interesting characters

I loved the story but the narrator is a little to rote, almost AI, for me. I struggled to listen to the end but I was so invested in the characters I kept going.
