One woman will either save an entire continent or completely destroy it in a captivating epic fantasy bursting with intrigue and ambition, questioned loyalties, and broken magic.
Guard the tower, ward the stone. Find your answers writ in bone. Keep your trust through wits or war - nothing must unseal the door.
Deep within Gloamingard Castle lies a black tower. Sealed by magic, it guards a dangerous secret that has been contained for thousands of years.
As Warden, Ryxander knows the warning passed down through generations: nothing must unseal the door. But one impetuous decision will leave her with blood on her hands - and unleash a threat that could doom the world to fall to darkness.

I did enjoy the narrator, except for maybe like the first 2 minutes while I got used to her voice. she did a good job.
It was spectacular. I loved the main character, Ryx, and the secondary characters (though I am hoping they are expounded upon in the sequel, as this one was mainly Ryx and her duties, which is completely understandable). I really liked how this was set in one of the Witch Lord lands in Vaskandar, and the small nods to the other series.
great setting. great characters, great plot. I can't wait for the next one.
Caruso is quickly becoming one of my top 10 favorite authors.
Fantastic!

However, I felt it dragged quite often. To much on the politics for my taste. The narrator did a passable job but something about her manner of speaking kept knocking me out of the story.
All in all, I do not regret spending a credit but doubt I will listen to it again.
The idea behind the story was a good one.

Ms. Caruso has a deft way of mixing magic, political intrigue, and betrayal that constantly keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. She crafts detailed characters I fall in love with in books filled with tension, hope, heart-break, and longing. It’s a world filled with complex history, lore, secret societies, and competing factions, which all makes for wonderful conflict.
She mixes swords and sorcery in a new way, in this book in particular. One character laments that not all things “can be fixed with stabbing,” while steampunk-like spectacles “let you perceive certain flows of magical power.”
My favorite aspect, though, is the way she weaves romantic tension throughout the book. Lines like “The memory of his hand on my back set a flush in my face that had no business being there” were perfectly placed to add a little heat here and there. A touch, a look, an almost caress… it’s all so well-written and keeps the reader hoping something more will happen. It’s delightfully tortuous.
As the first book in a new series, THE OBSIDIAN TOWER does not disappoint. You do not need to have read her previous series set in the same world, though I highly recommend her Swords and Fire Series. Same world, same skillful writing, different characters and types of magic and politics.
Does not disappoint!
