Since the Sundering, all use of the Breath has been outlawed. The Overlord and his family have destroyed all who could wield that mighty power. Now, the Overlord's own son needs that outlawed power to unseat his father.
Having spent her entire life trying to stay unnoticed, Elena is forced to come to grips with the Breath's curse when her only child is ripped away from her. A pawn in the game between the Duke and his father, she must find a way to rescue her daughter and remain free of their manipulative grasp. When she does, her entire world collapses around her, and she realizes just how dangerous this game is.
As she struggles to out maneuver the Overlord, the Duke, and their supernatural allies, Elena must find a way to defeat them both. If she cannot, the entire world will pay the price.

Great story! I have really enjoyed listening to this, and look forward to hearing the rest. I at first downloaded it for something to listen to, not giving it much thought, but have really come to get into the story. I ran across it on zune's marketplace, but via your comments after an episode, ended up here so I could rate the book. I really hope others find their way too it as well, because it's very enjoyable. And along with some previous comments, you're voice is the best podiobook voice I have heard hands down. Usually I don't like when there are female main characters and the person reading is a male, but I wouldn't have it any other way in your case. =)By: AngelEyes
I have just started Podiobooks and learned very quickly to download manually to successfully get all the chapters. I love the story line and am excited to continue on a daily basis. I agree this would make a great movie or TV series. I am a very slow reader and sometimes need to back up to re-hear parts so I can get the imagery in my mind. I prefer a slower pace but the narration is awesome with the variation in tone & expression of feelings when speaking in charactor. Great voice easy to listen to.By: PuddyRat
Okay, I just happen to think this book would make a great movie! As I worked, I was totally visualizing the enviornment on a cinematic screen. When I first started listening, I thought the pace a little slow. I took a break and listened to some other stuff, then came back to the story and and discovered I couldn't put it down. I was always sorry to reach the end of my shift because it meant waiting until the next day to find out what was happening. Heaven forbid a weekend should insert itself there! I'm glad I finished listening to this. The story was enthralling, the narration good, and the characters complete. I especially liked that the heroine was reluctant to accept her role as such; it made her more believable. I'm curious as to whether or not Mr. Ezell has any other stories planted in his imagination? I can't help but think with as fertile as the field seems to be, there should be more coming forth. Thanks for a great story. I hope to see more.
