About this listen

A feisty sailor with forbidden magic. A golden heir with a secret love. When they head out to find a legendary treasure and change their stars, their lives change forever.

Kinneret is scraping out a low-caste living. Barely.

It doesn't help that she has a fiery temper, or that she secretly practices forbidden salt magic to control the sea. None of that will keep her and her younger sister fed.

And it won't keep Calev, the Chairman's son, close to her either. Their childhood friendship is tolerated, but when they come of age it will have to end. She can't let Calev be outcast for her sake. She loves him too much.

The only real solution to all Kinneret's problems is to rise above her station, so when a family friend offers her a map to the mythical island of silver, she will risk it all to seek a treasure lost to the seas for over 300 years.

Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tamora Pierce, and Sabaa Tahir!

This was a really good start to the Uncommon World series! I was thrown into a completely new world filled with a caste system, magic, and mythology that I’ve never heard of before and it was action packed and enthralling. Kinneret is a salt witch who wants to marry Calev, but isn’t of the right status. She learns of a lost land of silver and hopes to raise her status, but when someone enslaves her sister, she makes a deal with the queen: she must find the lost land to secure her rulership so her sailors will rescue her sister, Avi. I found Kinneret’s devotion and loyalty to her sister over Calev realistic and admiring. I enjoyed Calev and Kinneret’s forbidden romance- they had many struggles, but were supportive for one another. All of the characters had different, but great personalities and development. Avi is sweet (even though we don’t see too much of her), Calev tends to bite off more than he can chew, Kinneret is hot headed, but fiercely loyal to those she loves, and Oron is full of snark and wit. Alisha did an amazing job with her creative and vivid world building that’s weaved in ancient Mediterranean cultures! I loved the idea of salt magic, which is completely new to me, and the political/ caste system as well as a religion centered on Holy Fire.
Heather does a good job with this narration! She used different voices for each character and it was always easy to distinguish who was talking. Her voice had a magical feel to it and kept me entertained from start to finish!
