For as long as Fei can remember, there has been no sound in her village, where rocky terrain and frequent avalanches prevent residents from self-sustaining. Fei and her people are at the mercy of a zipline that carries food up the treacherous cliffs from Beiguo, a mysterious faraway kingdom.

When villagers begin to lose their sight, deliveries from the zipline shrink and many go hungry. Fei's home, the people she loves, and her entire existence is plunged into crisis, under threat of darkness and starvation.

But soon Fei is awoken in the night by a searing noise, and sound becomes her weapon.

Richelle Mead takes readers on a triumphant journey from the peak of Fei's jagged mountain village to the valley of Beiguo, where a startling truth and an unlikely romance will change her life forever....

From the Hardcover edition.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 7 Up-Fei lives in an isolated village on top of a mountain where all the inhabitants have been deaf for generations. The rocky terrain makes agriculture impossible, and villagers must mine precious metals in exchange for food using a zip line that is their only connection with the world below, making them dependant on the mysterious line keeper whom they have never seen. Fei's skill as an artist gives her an elevated status, but when her sister begins to go blind, Fei becomes more aware of the hardships of the others and the dire situation of her community. Unwilling to stand by and watch his people suffer, her friend and former suitor, Lei Wei, decides to go on a quest to the unknown world below. Fei accompanies him on the treacherous journey using her newly developed hearing to help navigate the strange new place. Die-hard "Vampire Academy" fans may be disappointed at Mead's departure from her usual style, but listeners with an open mind will find an original and compelling story line that is part fable, party fantasy. Kim Mai Guest's narration is superb. VERDICT Adults and teens alike will appreciate this audiobook.
