"Narrators Fiona Hardingham and Gary Furlong voice Agatha and Jaime's stories in alternating chapters, allowing listeners to experience this epic adventure from two different perspectives. Hardingham's portrayal of Agatha is especially strong, and her performance captures the character's unique worldview.… Fast-paced action, authentically fresh voices, violent beasts, and unforgettable Scottish scenery elevate this debut novel."
—School Library Journal, starred review
"The first in a trilogy, this tale set in mythic Scotland features two engaging characters brought to life through Fiona Hardingham's and Gary Furlong's alternating narrations. Hardingham is masterful at sharing Agatha's worldview with listeners; a brave, fierce Hawk, she is proud of her job patrolling the walls of her island home.… The narrators give the characters wonderful Scottish inflections and skillfully build suspense while developing this duo into unique new heroes whom listeners will want to hear succeed."
