About this audiobook
A whisperjewel has summoned Dirk t'Larien to Worlorn, and a love he thinks he lost. But Worlorn isn't the world Dirk imagined, and Gwen Delvano is no longer the woman he once knew. She is bound to another man, and to a dying planet that is trapped in twilight. Gwen needs Dirk's protection, and he will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means challenging the barbaric man who has claimed her. But an impenetrable veil of secrecy surrounds them all, and it's becoming impossible for Dirk to distinguish between his allies and his enemies. In this dangerous triangle, one is hurtling toward escape, another toward revenge, and the last toward a brutal, untimely demise.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Iain Glenn was the perfect choice to read this book
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good job tracking the minds of several different characters who look at the same situations from varying points of view. Intellectually engaging. For me, the saddest story was not that of the protagonists, the two swimmers, but of their coach. No spoilers but egads... Not being a sports person, I enjoyed an insider's view of a sport that didn't shut out a non-sportiv person like myself.
