Story
Seduced by her employer’s son, Evangeline, a naïve young governess in early 19th-century London, is discharged when her pregnancy is discovered and sent to the notorious Newgate Prison. After months in the fetid, overcrowded jail, she learns she is sentenced to "the land beyond the seas", Van Diemen’s Land, a penal colony in Australia. Though uncertain of what awaits, Evangeline knows one thing: The child she carries will be born on the months-long voyage to this distant land.

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.

A very enjoyable book....
I thought your portrayal of the life back in the mid 1800’s when pioneers were moving West, was terrific. Trying to keep your story and characters realistic was impressive! I loved the relationship between John and Naomi.... overall, I liked your story very much!

Good story, bad reader
Good story, well written, but main character can be very annoying. The worst part is the reader. The male reader is VERY GOOD, but the female reader is horrible when she does make voices. I will never listen to this book again because of this reader. To me, it was painful.

Overall, a great story
I felt that the writing in this story was outstanding. It was very descriptive and made me feel an assortment of emotions throughout. Where this lacked for me was the narration. I loved the male narrator’s take on reading the story but the female narrator made her character seem weak which conflicted with the male’s description of her. Also, listening to her speak in the voices of men made me cringe.
Overall, I enjoyed the story.

Solid story, narration leaves a lot to be desired
The story was well written, but could not enjoy the narration. I have listened to Lauren Ezzo narrate others, but just couldn't get past her "man's" voice. It was distracting and took away from the story, IMO.
Definitely worth listening to the Author's Note at the end.

So, this is a big one for me. My first EVER historical romance read. YESSS, I'll say it again for the people in the back. My historical romance, cherry has been popped. It was part of my reading goals from last year that got carried over to this year. I wanted it to be from an author that can depend on their writing. I'm so thankful that I chose Amy Harmon, she's a phenomenal writer. I ended up listening to the audiobook, the narrators were great. I got wrapped up in the story and couldn't stop listening. Just as it is with the other books that I've read from Amy, this book left its stamp on my heart. Without a doubt, I'll be reading more historical fiction novels.

Well-researched, well-written historical fiction
While this was a well-researched and well-written historical fiction, I didn't feel like the plot was as strong as other Harmon books I've read recently. A few of the plot twists felt a little too coincidental. It was still interesting and I'm glad I read it. I found the narration a little distracting at the start, but got use to it.
