Within These Wicked Walls

A Novel

By: Lauren Blackwood
Narrated by: Nneka Okoye
Length: 8 hours 53 minutes

“The blend of magic and realism is fun and the heavy romance is a delight. Blackwood's skill at combining our reality, for instance, a religion with God (He) and all its accoutrements, slavery, and abuse, with a fantastical magical system involving amulets, evil spirits, blood-mad hyenas, and clay people, is well done. A well crafted homage to... Read more

Tread of Angels

By: Rebecca Roanhorse
Narrated by: Dion Graham
Length: 4 hours 25 minutes

“A great read - or actually listen, in my case. Rebecca Roanhorse has created a compelling cast of characters and set them loose in a western fantasy noir world (with a touch of steampunk).
