This audiobook is the second book in the Obernewtyn Chronicles that Isobelle Carmody not only wrote but narrated as well.

Elspeth Gordie is now the mistress of Obernewtyn and despite having problems with her legs and feet she is determined to go on an expedition.

As one of their aims is to find misfits who are in need of their help and bring them back to Obernewtyn and even though they just found an unhappy herder apprentice name Jip who was a scared misfit he had to go on this expedition too.

Although, no one knew exactly why he had to come but was told that they needed him if the trip was going to be successful.

This is the first story in The Obernewtyn Chronicles that Isobelle Carmody wrote and I read the book form of this story twice.

Though it was the first time I listened to the audiobook of this story, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audiobook.

Particularly when Elspeth Gordie had to use one of the powers, she possessed to mind talk with someone who also had this ability too. She could also speak to animals as well using this power like Saruman the cat.

As he tells her that she has been chosen to do a specific task.

Though she doesn’t know much yet about what she has to do. Elspeth Gordie is also the sort of person who gets herself in situations whether she likes it or not.
