Publisher's summary

A lost girl and a blind boy discover their greatest strength is their bond with each other in a beguiling fantasy by the New York Times bestselling author of The First Girl Child.

An insidious curse is weakening the Norse kingdom of Saylok, where no daughters have been born in years. Washing up on these plagued shores is Ghisla, an orphaned stowaway nursed back to health by Hod, a blind cave dweller. Named for a mysterious god, Hod is surrounded by prophecy. To Ghisla, he’s a cherished new friend, but to Hod, the girl is much more. For when Ghisla sings, Hod can see.

Unable to offer safe shelter, Hod urges Ghisla onward to become a daughter of the temple, where all the kingdom’s girl children have been gathered. But because of a magical rune, the two cannot be separated, no matter the time or the distance.

Now, subject to a ruthless king, Ghisla enters a desperate world of warring clan chieftains and catastrophic power struggles. Uncertain whom to trust, their bond strained by dangerous secrets and feuding loyalties, Ghisla and Hod must confront the prophecies that threaten Saylok while finding a way to save each other.

Beautiful story that will completely immerse you!

Amy Harmon is my all-time favorite author! Her writing is unlike any other that I've experienced. I've listened to all of her audiobooks, and I can honestly say I've enjoyed them all. The Second Blind Son was no exception. In fact, it may actually be my new favorite. Rob Shapiro's narration is also amazing. My favorite narrator! There's just something about pairing one of Amy's works with Rob Shapiro's narration that literally soothes my soul. Do yourself a favor, and purchase this book!

Intriguing

So this is the 2nd book in this world. I have to say that I enjoy this world a lot and hope to see more come. The story itself I don't know I just it. I was really unsure of how it was going to go I'm not sure why I was confused I mean I did know somewhat it was taking place the same time as the 1st girl child's story took place but at the same time Very intrigued by it. I will have to say though that rob knocked it out of the park he is such a phenomenal narrator and does this world so much Justice I hope if they continue to make more books of this world that he is the narrator.

Amy Harmon is a truly talented writer.

I loved every moment of this book. from the first word to the last. if you love a well thought out storyline with likable characters who serve the Norse Gods, just click the button. it's worth it.
