About this listen
An epic new fantasy series of mystery, prophecy and death within the ancient walled city of the Twelve Kings....
In the cramped west end of Sharakhai, the Amber Jewel of the Desert, Çeda fights in the pits to scrape a living. She, like so many in the city, pray for the downfall of the cruel, immortal Kings of Sharakhai, but she's never been able to do anything about it. This all changes when she goes out on the night of Beht Zha'ir, the holy night when all are forbidden from walking the streets. It's the night that the asirim, the powerful yet wretched creatures that protect the Kings from all who would stand against them, wander the city and take tribute.
It is then that one of the asirim, a pitiful creature who wears a golden crown, stops Çeda and whispers long forgotten words into her ear. Çeda has heard those words before, in a book left to her by her mother, and it is through that one peculiar link that she begins to find hidden riddles left by her mother.
As Çeda begins to unlock the mysteries of that fateful night, she realizes that the very origin of the asirim and the dark bargain the Kings made with the gods of the desert to secure them may be the very key she needs to throw off the iron grip the Kings have had over Sharakhai. And yet the Kings are no fools - they've ruled the Shangazi for 400 years for good reason, and they have not been idle.
As Çeda digs into their past, and the Kings come closer and closer to unmasking her, Çeda must decide if she's ready to face them once and for all.

Great story but too many unnecessary ugly accents.
Really struggled listening to some of the accents from the narrator, bad Russian accents and others that are just harsh and horrible to listen to. Story was good.

Really wanted to like it but couldn't get into it
I'd read a few reviews of this on both Audible and Goodreads and was looking forward to getting engrossed in a great story. However, I just couldn't! After listening to 7 hours I've had to give up. The characters are interesting, along with setting, and there's been some quite good action. The problem is it just sends me to sleep as it's not engaging.
I think the problem is the narrator. She's certainly not bad and I've enjoyed another book she's narrated. But it seems she wasn't able to give enough drama to the characters and situations. I wonder if a different narrator or reading it in print would make it a more enjoyable book.
