About this listen
While the powerful seek immortality, the Scions struggle for survival.
Few people know that the Scion School exists. Tucked away on a private Caribbean island, the school hosts 36 exceptionally gifted students. They train every day to prepare themselves for an immense responsibility, to lead humankind back from the brink of extinction.
At least, that's what they've been told.
Only one student - a 17-year-old named Jacey - suspects the truth. Driven by her undying loyalty to her friends, Jacey races to untangle the truth of who the Scions are...and what the headmaster truly means when he says they are bound for a great destiny.
Daughter of Nothing is the first audiobook in an amazing new series for fans of young adult dystopian fiction.
Eric Kent Edstrom - author of Starside Saga - is back with more lovable characters, thriller pacing, and shocking twists you’ll never see coming.
Start listening to The Scion Chronicles series today, narrated by Audie Award winner Nancy Peterson.

Great Story - Intriguing
This book has many plot twists that will keep you guessing what happens next. It has such an interesting plot line and introduces several complex characters throughout the storyline.
The narrator did a great job overall adjusting tone and inflection for different characters however I did find the whole effect to be a bit dull. I was easily distracted due to the soft voice.

A must-read!! No matter what your age.
This author has created a future world with an unique concept where the elite class of people can live forever. But how is this possible? An exciting first book in this new series. It has very endearing characters. A plot line that twists and turns and drags you into the story and, all of a sudden, you just have to keep reading faster and faster to find out what is going on, who is going to survive and what is going to happen in the end. I can't wait to read the second book!

My fourth amazing read from author Eric Kent Edstr
My fourth amazing read from author Eric Kent Edstrom. I first discovered this author in Thief of Sparks (Starside Saga #1) & A Raven's Dream (Starside Saga Book 2). As good as those books are this one is better & I can't wait to read the next book in this series and having read/listened to this one in audio I'm very tempted to do the next one in audio as well!

Dr. Carlhagen was a bad man!
Very few books make me want to skip to the end just to get some relief from the very bad guy but this book sure did. I was soooo tempted. Dr. Carlhagen was the epitome of evil genius and everything about him was icky. Jacey was in his crosshairs and the source of much tension.
This dystopian listen was excellent. It was propelled by equally excellent narration. Nancy Peterson embodied Jacey's innocence. She amped up the evil of Dr. Carlhagen. She brought the alpha male to Vaughn and Humphrey. She even delivered Cassie's mean girl.
We got a glimpse into the next book in the series and oh boy, do things get curiouser and curiouser.
