The Palace of Lost Memories

After the Rift, Book 1

De: C. J. Archer

Narrado por: Marian Hussey

From the author of the USA Today best-selling GLASS AND STEELE series comes this captivating new fantasy.

The king's magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders, no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate, and only one servant has ever left. The haunted look in her eyes as she was recaptured by the palace guards is something Josie, daughter of the village doctor, has never forgotten.

For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself. Whispers of magic fuel Josie's desire to uncover the truth, but an ordinary girl like her can only dream of ever being invited inside.

When the king decides to take a wife from among the eligible daughters of the noble families, the palace gates are finally thrown open and the kingdom's elite pour in. In a court where old rivalries and new jealousies collide, the king's favorite is poisoned and the doctor is summoned. As her father's assistant, Josie finally sees inside the lavish walls, but she soon learns the palace won't surrender its secrets easily, for not a single resident, from the lowest servant to the king himself, has a memory from before the palace existed.

In the search for the truth, Josie is drawn deeper into danger, and the answers she seeks might shake the very foundations of the kingdom.

So many unanswered questions.

Enjoyed this book very much. Wasn't happy with the ending. Narrator was very good. Thanks.

Language

The foul language could easily been omitted without changing the storyline. The story itself was full of suspense.

slow starting...

it started so excruciating slow but got better. I plan on finishing the series. I hope I dont regret spending the money on the books

Brilliant

Classic story boy meets girl girl meets boy etc. The narration performance definitely on point. First time I heard her now I’m looking for the books that she narrates.

Excellent Vacation Listen!!

Listened to this series while driving 3,500 on vacation with my husband. He actually got quite interested in the series himself! Haven't found a C.J Archer series I don't like yet!

outstanding story book

this is a most intriguing story completely different from what I've read of CJ archers before anyone who would order this they will not be disappointed and I look forward to reading the entire series enjoy

Best Narrator on Audible

This was a very sweet, exciting, and romantic story. Loved it. If you ask me, the narrator is the best female narrator on Audible. Kept me engaged through the whole story!

Amazing, as usual

I LOVE this new book. I don’t know why I’m surprised, C.J. archer consistently turns out books that get me hooked two minutes in. Great characters, great story, it keeps you wanting more. All I need to know now is when is the next one coming out?

Fantastic story

I really enjoyed this book and quickly ordered and listened to the second book in the series. Really well done with an interesting story and well fleshed out characters. I was in a bit of a book burnout when I picked this one up (had started and discarded about ten audiobooks in a row) but this one caught me from the get go. Very well narrated. Can't wait for the next book in the series to be released.

Great overall

Likes:
Good story
Great narration
Decent mystery
Good characters
Dislikes:
The occasional F-bomb is totally unnecessary. Why bother? It just decreases the integrity of the literature.

I’ll read Book 2 and see what happens. The story is compelling, but I care about clean words, too. I really like this author overall and the narrator is amazing.
