    About this audiobook

    New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen brings a new dose of adventure and thrills to ancient Rome in the second book of her magical Mark of the Thief trilogy!

    Nic may have escaped enslavement in the mines outside of Rome, but his troubles are far from over. The Praetor War--the battle to destroy Rome from within--is in full force, and Nic is caught in the crossfire. The secretive Praetors are determined to unlock a powerful amulet--one sure to bring the empire to its knees. Worse, the Praetors believe Nic holds the key to finding this amulet, and they will stop at nothing to steal it, even if that means harming the people Nic holds most dear.

    When the Praetors capture Nic's mother, Nic knows he must do anything to save her. He challenges the Praetors to a chariot race. If he wins, they will release his mother. But if he loses, he must hand over a magic that will certainly destroy Rome and end his own life. Can Nic once again harness his magic and gather the strength to defeat his enemies? Or will he lose his mother and bear witness to Rome's destruction?

      Poor audio quality. Audio skips and stutters like a poorly buffered recording, whether streaming or downloaded.
    • 5/5
      The twists and turns that Jennifer A Nielsen takes you on and the high moral character qualities of her heroes are always breathtaking
    • 4/5
      I am really enjoying this series. Nick is a runaway slave, who, turns out to be the grandson of a Roman general, and he has magic. Now he has to save the Roman Empire, and figure out how to tell the girl he loves that he loves her. No pressure, right?
    • 5/5
      MacLeod Andrews is one of my favorite narrators. That is why I was drawn to this series. It is written for a YA audience and with that consideration I feel it was well written and well performed. I had no issues with audio quality as others mentioned.
