“Narrator Daphne Kouma wows in this epic fantasy/murder mystery/political thriller. In a society built around eight powerful animal spirits, a new emperor is chosen every 24 years when those vying for the throne compete in a series of trials.

It’s a wonderfully immersive and satisfying performance of a richly imagined novel.” Read more...
