Description
A slave girl with forbidden magic.
A young king with a ruthless lust for power.
The fate of an empire hangs in the balance…
Sold into slavery by her own mother, Tori Burodai is one of countless lowborns who serve the ruthless empire of Osha. While nobles bask in their power and wealth, the lowborns work their estates and fight their wars, and the gallows that looms over their city is a constant reminder of the price of resistance.
Long ago, the magic Watchers were a force for justice in the world, but now they survive only in myth. That is, until Tori demonstrates incredible magic power in a desperate attempt to save the boy she loves from a cruel fate.
This momentous act of rebellion changes Tori’s future forever. Her defiance sparks the makings of a magic revolution.
But will the return of magic save the world? Or bring it to ruin?

over all it seemed like a decent story but I couldn’t finish listening to it due to the narration (to me) seemed monotone and just a little hard to listen to.
