THE IRON THORN

In a strange world of clockwork gears, automatons, and steam power, Aoife Grayson is trying to escape the deadly madness that has taken her entire family from her. In a desperate attempt to rescue her brother, she begins a journey that will change everything she thought she knew. But can she save herself from the disease that has divided the world? Masterfully narrated by Katie MacNichol, this steampunk extravaganza is really just the simple story of a girl trying to reunite with her family. MacNichol provides unique voices for a large cast—from the crisp British accent of a chambermaid to the slow and easy drawl of the young man who guides Aoife on her quest.
