A RESTLESS TRUTH by Freya Marske, read by Aysha Kala

Narrator Aysha Kala delivers action and romance in this sequel to Freya Marske’s A MARVELLOUS LIGHT. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly talk about this thrilling tale set at sea. Determined and a touch chaotic, 19-year-old Maud Blyth doesn’t have magic, but she’s on a secret magical mission nonetheless. She’s undercover, accompanying the elderly Mrs. Navenby, who is in possession of a secret magical artifact, on a transatlantic crossing to England. When Mrs. Navenby is murdered, Maud must secure allies, find the killer—and figure out what that artifact is, and whether it’s been stolen. Kala ably provides accents for a ship full of characters, from upper to lower decks, and both sides of the Atlantic. Maud enlists the outrageous and captivating magical concert-hall performer Violet Debenham to help her solve the case. Trust and heat build between the two as danger and magic abound.
