Synopsis

An ancient prophecy divides two sisters--one good, one evil.

Who will prevail?

Twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just become orphans. They have also become enemies. As they discover their roles in a prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other, they find themselves entangled in a mystery that involves a tattoo-like mark, their parents' deaths, a boy, a book, and a lifetime of secrets.

From AudioFile:

In the late 1800s, teen twins Alice and Lea are orphaned after their mother commits suicide and their father dies mysteriously. Living on an estate with their younger brother and maiden aunt, the sisters grow apart as their place in a supernatural prophecy is unveiled: One sister has the power to end the world and the other, to save it. Eliza Dushku has an appealingly husky voice, and she narrates with clarity and feeling. Her even-tempered performance keeps the listener engaged in the sketchily plotted tale. Occasional background music announces dramatic moments, and the purr of Dushku's voice carries listeners right to the cliffhanger ending. G.D. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
