The Mysterious Daughter — Sarah Noffke

Dara Rosenberg employs bright, youthful tones to portray naïve 20-year-old Rose Harkness Beaufont, who suddenly learns she's half mortal and half magician--and the newly recovered heir to the House of Fourteen and Mortal Seven. On that very day, Rose must take up her mission as a warrior and witch hunter to destroy the magic of the Shadow Walker coven of Los Angeles. In this less-than-serious fantasy-adventure, Rosenberg depicts witches, mages, supernatural creatures, and Elvis, a chimera-disguised Chinese dragon who sings, jokes, and makes snide comments. Rose must overcome her lack of training and take up the sword to save the mortal world from uncontrolled black magic. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
