Publisher Description
Every harvest moon, the Witch Collector rides into our valley and leads one of us to the home of the immortal Frost King, to remain forever.
Today is that day—Collecting Day.
But he will not come for me. I, Raina Bloodgood, have lived in this village for twenty-four years, and for all that time he has passed me by.
His mistake.
Raina Bloodgood has one desire: kill the Frost King and the Witch Collector who stole her sister. On Collecting Day, she means to exact murderous revenge, but a more sinister threat sets fire to her world. Rising from the ashes is the Collector, Alexus Thibault, the man she vowed to slay and the only person who can help save her sister.
Thrust into an age-old story of ice, fire, and ancient gods, Raina must abandon vengeance and aid the Witch Collector or let their empire—and her sister—fall into enemy hands. But the lines between good and evil blur, and Raina has more to lose than she imagined. What is she to do when the Witch Collector is no longer the villain who stole her sister, but the hero who's stealing her heart?

Sign Language Dialogue
The writing is fantastic and I was quickly hooked! I always enjoy Tim Campbell’s audio work as well. Meg Sylvan also does a fantastic job, her dedication to character voices and inflections is amazing! Very engaging. Right off the bat I thought this would be a 10/10, but the way the sign language dialogue is presented in Raina chapters is so jarring that I’ve decided to switch to hard copies. The sign language dialogue is presented with a louder, slower speed (very staccato) and with less inflection (slightly shrill), which seems unnecessary and unrealistic (possibly even offensive) to the fluidity with which people can beautifully communicate with sign language. I wish it were read like the rest of the spoken dialogue. I would have bought the next two audiobooks if not for that one aspect.
