This is her first entry into Audible, and I'm hoping eventually all of her books with be available. A better adult version of a Potter type series. Elora is dumped into another world, one where knights risk their lives to kill vampires (bad ones) and it's populated with elves, humans, fae, werewolves, and a variety of other rare and unusual beings with the occasional demon and angel hanging around. a model for what many writers about women should strive for, vs some of the whiny weak characters in other series (grrrr). The main character, Elora, is smart, strong, resilient (and beautiful). Great characters, which are more fully developed in later books in the series, and minimal whining. There are at least 12 books in this series, and probably about 3-5 off shoot books, all of which are worth a read or listen. One of Danann's talents, and something I really love in my books) is the appearance of characters from previous books in later related series. But this book is the foundation for my love for the Black Swan world and all the related books which follow. My Familiar Stranger is a full length, stand alone, Paranormal Romance novel that also sets up the foundation for the Black Swan series. Victoria Danann is an awesome author and I'm in the process of trying to read/listen to every one of her books (several series, but especially Witches of Wimberly, & Sanctuary Motorcycle club set in Austin). One of the FB Reader's groups I belong to recommended this book (whoever you are, thanks so very much).
