From the New York Times bestselling author comes a breathtaking fantasy of a cursed kingdom, warring clans, and unexpected salvation.
Bayr of Saylok, bastard son of a powerful and jealous chieftain, is haunted by the curse once leveled by his dying mother. Bartered, abandoned, and rarely loved, she plagued the land with her words: From this day forward, there will be no daughters in Saylok.
Raised among the Keepers at Temple Hill, Bayr is gifted with inhuman strength. But he’s also blessed with an all-too-human heart that beats with one purpose: to protect Alba, the first girl child born in nearly two decades and the salvation for a country at risk.
Now the fate of Saylok lies with Alba and Bayr, whose bond grows deeper with every whisper of coming chaos. Charged with battling the enemies of their people, both within and without, Bayr is fueled further by the love of a girl who has defied the scourge of Saylok.
What Bayr and Alba don’t know is that they each threaten the king, a greedy man who built his throne on lies, murder, and betrayal. There is only one way to defend their land from the corruption that has overtaken it. By breaking the curse, they could defeat the king…but they could also destroy themselves.

Kritikerröster
"By far, my favorite book of 2019. Addictive, engrossing, completely unputdownable. Amy Harmon's The First Girl Child needs to be at the top of everyone’s reading list." --Penny Reid, New York Times bestselling author
"The First Girl Child is a unique and lovely read set in a world that is both familiar and strange. Rich, fast-paced, and romantic, this book will thoroughly satisfy fantasy readers craving a story with meat on its bones. It’s going on my shelf next to Robin Hobb and Patricia McKillip." --Jared Garrett, bestselling author of Lakhoni
"Utterly brilliant. A sprawling tale of love and magic, of leadership and the sacrifice that comes with it. I cannot recommend this book enough." --Bestselling author Staci Hart
Es erinnert ein wenig an 'Palast der Winde ' von M.M. Kay. Wobei diese Geschichte nicht in Indien spielt und auch keinerlei geschichtliche Basis hat. Die Ähnlichkeit ist vielmehr in der Erzählweise und in der Zeitspanne über die sich die Geschichte spannt. Die Charaktere, die einem während des Hörens ans Herz wachsen. Es hat was episches.
Eine riesige Rolle beim Schaffen dieses Hörgenusses hat Rob Shapiro. Er liest einfach perfekt. Tolle Stimme, die Personen die gerade sprechen sind sehr gut zu unterscheiden und er liest gefühlvoll ohne zu übertreiben.
Alles in allem definitiv 5 Sterne!
Endlich wieder ein 5 Sterne Buch!
