About this audiobook

The city of Voortyashtan was once the home of the goddess of death, war and destruction, but now it's little more than a ruin. General Turyin Mulaghesh is called out of retirement and sent to this hellish place to find a Saypuri secret agent who's gone AWOL in the middle of a mission. But the ghosts of past wars have followed her there, and soon she begins to wonder what happened to the souls in the afterlife when the gods were defeated by her people, the Polis. Do the dead sleep soundly in the land of death? Or do they have plans of their own?

Ratings and reviews

I listened to the entire Divine Cities trilogy on audiobook. Not only were they great books, but Alma Cuervo did a wonderful job reading them. A poor reader can kill a really great book, but her reading was animated, consistent, and expressive. Every character had their own voice, and she really brought them to life.
