Publisher's Summary
'Only one thing is more powerful than a wish, and that is a purpose.'
Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady. The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince's Council of 11. If she's picked, she'll be joined with the other Council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood.
That closeness is irresistible to Tarisai, who has always wanted to belong somewhere. But The Lady has other ideas, including a magical wish that Tarisai is compelled to obey: Kill the Crown Prince once she gains his trust.
Tarisai won't stand by and become someone's pawn - but is she strong enough to choose a different path for herself?

Absolutely captivating
I found this book, Raybearer when searching for novels narrated by Weruche Opia who read another fantasy book set in Africa to perfection. When i started this one, I was only half listening but several chapters in I started over from the beginning to catch the many rich details I realized I had missed. I can't believe this is a debut novel - the world is incredibly rich, the characters fascinating and engaging. It is touted as a YA (young adult) novel but the quality of the writing and world building is on par with any novel aimed at a more mature audience. I will be buying the hardcover version of this book and waiting for any sequels with bated breath!

Love love love this book
Fantastic book and fantastic narrator. The world building here was superb, and the characters believeable and interesting. The narrator is absolutely perfect - I could feel the world and story through her voice and the rhythm she gave to the drums and songs. Tragic that the same narrator hasn't done book 2.

Immaculate
This book is ridiculously good. You can tell that the author put all of her heart and soul into creating a fantastic, fleshed out world and provoking magic system. It's an incredibly refreshing change from the standard euro-centric fantasy, and a true masterpiece.

Fantastic’read’
Really loved this book. The characters are multi faceted and engaging, the story twists and turns as you come to understand the whys behind characters actions and how that affects the now. The ending felt complete but promises more, and I’m totally up for it.
The narrator is fantastic. Beautiful pacing, such subtle vocal changes for characters that I totally forgot i was being read too! 10/10
The only downer is that this narrator hasn’t been used for the second book. I listened to the sample and the new narrator is so different in style that I found it too jarring. I’ll be buying a hard copy instead.

Brilliant. Imaginative. Fucidly told.
A vividly told, vividly imagined, and vividly narrated African fantasy that grips you from the very first word to the last. This book COMPLETELY knocked me on my ass and that narrator effortlessly brings the characters to life.
Highly, highly HIGHLY recommended.

I love this story!
The characters and setting are believable and the story very engaging. The authors writing style is beautiful, and she doesn't get bogged down with descriptions but give just enough detail to paint a picture in the readers mind. I can't wait to listen to more of her work.

this book was honestly so good like the characters had so much depth and it was so interesting. there were a lot of words and concepts that were introduced but they were explained so well that it wasn’t confusion whatsoever.

Wow. A must read with an incredible narrator.
The story is vibrant and complex. The people are layered and enchanting and the telling is strong and vulnerable. The motif of music is beautiful and the narrator does an incredible job at bringing it to life. Amazing fantasy book you won’t regret listening to.
