About This Audiobook
After surviving the collapse of Summerland, Jane McKeene and her unlikely ally Katherine Deveraux find themselves navigating the treacherous landscape of an undead-infested 1880s America. Their journey westward leads them to Nicodermus, a supposedly safe settlement that harbors dark secrets and familiar faces from their past. As Jane grapples with devastating losses and questions everything she believed about survival, she discovers that this refuge operates on sinister principles that force her to confront both external threats and her own inner darkness. The alliance between the two young women grows stronger as they face impossible choices in a world where safety is an illusion and trust is a dangerous luxury.
Bahni Turpin and Jordan Cobb deliver powerfully distinct vocal performances that bring depth and authenticity to Ireland's richly imagined alternate history. Turpin captures Jane's fierce determination and emotional complexity with remarkable nuance, while Cobb's portrayal adds complementary layers to the narrative's multiple perspectives. Their combined narration enhances the story's exploration of race, class, and survival, making the characters' internal struggles as compelling as their external battles. The production quality supports the story's intense pacing, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in this haunting blend of historical fiction and supernatural horror.
