Summary
Every year in the great Temple City of Duvalpore, the image of the Wheel of the Infinite must be painstakingly remade to ensure another year of peace and harmony for the Celestial Empire. Every hundred years the sacred rite takes on added significance. For it is then that the very fabric of the world must be rewoven. Linked by the mystic energies of the Infinite, the Wheel and world are one. Should the holy image be marred, the world will suffer a similar injury. But a black storm is spreading across the Wheel. Every night the Voices of the Ancestors - the Wheel's constructors and caretakers - brush the darkness away and repair the damage with brightly colored sands and potent magic. Each morning the storm reappears, bigger and darker than before, unraveling the beautiful and orderly patterns. With chaos in the wind, a woman with a shadowy past has returned to Duvalpore.
A murderer and traitor - an exile disgraced, hated, and feared, and haunted by her own guilty conscience - Maskelle has been summoned back to help put the world right. Once she was the most revered of the Voices, until cursed by her own actions. Now, in the company of Rian - a skilled and dangerously alluring swordsman - she must confront dread enemies old and new and a cold, stalking malevolence unlike any she has ever encountered.Listeners also enjoyed...

I needed to listen twice to understand the story.
I liked the book because it has a great description of another world. I enjoyed the world building 🙂

Vivid worlds, unusual storyline
Martha Wells lays out a vivid tapestry of a world, with rich descriptions of a city, the landscape and the different peoples. Then she weaves in an intriguing system of magic and spirits, letting the reader gradually uncover the logic for themselves, without spending paragraphs explaining all the background.
A strong and unusual warrior-priest character is centre stage, and the plot unfolds with danger and surprise. All the actions seem plausible for the competing characters, yet this is far from being a predictable fantasy plot line.
Great writing, and the audio performance is pretty good, you feel the actor wants to share this story with you.
Highly recommend this!
