Curses in the Light

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Chasing a missing crown jewel into a cursed frontier, two mismatched partners are running out of luck. Still branded “Red scum” after the fall of the anti-magic cult, Emery Morgan is barely tolerated in her neighborhood. Under a coerced deal, she and her sharp-tongued ex-god partner, Loki, are the expendable assets the state sends to handle dangerous problems. Their latest: cross into the Enchanted Realm’s Flatlands and retrieve an emerald crown jewel stolen by a former Kin member before the theft ignites a political firestorm. The Flatlands look peaceful at first—wide skies, sunlit grasslands, two nomadic tribes who claim to leave each other alone. But murderous cursed hounds stalk the plains, a magical border turns the open steppe into a mystery, and a clash of customs leaves Emery bound by ritual to an earnest young hunter who insists on helping. When a brutal curse strikes, all eyes turn to the two so-called “magicians” from Atlantis. Suddenly, finding the jewel is the least of their problems. To survive, Emery and Loki must outrun a furious tribe, untangle the magic behind the curse, and prove they’re not the monsters everyone expects—before the frontier decides to swallow them for good. Curses in the Light continues the Atlantis Outcasts series with sharp banter, deadly curses, and a high-stakes crown jewel hunt, where magic cuts deep and not everyone who walks in the light is innocent.
