Though her chameleon-like abilities herald her as the forest people’s savior, she’s terrified by the growing dark power within her. And it only gets worse when she realizes that to control this new magic she’ll have to bond with a deadly Thunder Dragon…

As Camryn embarks on her dangerous quest, she discovers that the same human tyrants who experimented on her are behind multiple grisly murders as well. To fulfill her destiny, she may just have to infiltrate her former prison.

Can Camryn master her new abilities to stave off more death, or will power-hungry humans destroy her magical home for good?

I really loved the audio narration by Jacobs again! She has a great pace and is good at making each character feel distinct! I was happy to listen to her tell this awesome tale. I highly recommend listening to this series for her voice! 5/5 stars.

Story wise I felt this was intense. I was wrapped up in a lot of emotions!! I cannot believe how crazy some things went down. If you’re wanting to read a fantasy that is dealing with loss and how to overcome it I definitely recommend. I give this story a 5/5. Can’t wait to see the conclusion!

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Maggie Lynch. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Dream Cast

Author Maggie Lynch’s Dream Cast For The Forest People

I thought a lot about this when I first started writing the books. In fact, my Pinterest board for this series https://www.pinterest.com/maggielynchauthor/chameleon-series/ has a number of models and cast members I used to inspire my description of characters. I used their likeness and my imagination of their performance as I wrote the story.

Below are the primary cast members. As my creation of this cast was a decade ago when I first conceived the series, it may be that some of actors are now considered too old to play the parts I’ve assigned and others would not choose to do fantasy.
