About this listen

As the least favored child, it was no surprise when Rivka's father selects her, at age six, to comply with the country's conscript law. Sent away to the military to be raised and trained, she struggles to keep from falling into an abyss of despair. Only when she adopts a new friend's dream of becoming a member of the elite Black Guard does she find a new reason to live.

Few make it into the Black Guard, but Rivka is determined. Yet when she makes it and is sent on her first mission, to protect a ruling family during a revolution, she discovers to her dismay that the Black Guard may not be as perfect as she had believed.

Thus, Rivka begins a journey that will change her and the Black Guard forever.

Brilliant title by C.R.Daems, good story and setting, not my favourite in all his series but will still continue the series as his books are just to good.

Good title

If you’re a fan of C R Daems’s Tasmanian SFG Series this could be for you. This is very/too similar. I enjoy the action and the strong female characters. I had just revisited the SFG series which I think undermined my overall experience.

This is a good book on it's own, but if you've read the C R Daems "Welcome to Hell" and the subsequent books in his Tasmanian Special Forces series you'll notice some very striking similarities.

1. Unwanted child finds a home in the military
2. Gets in to the special forces against all odds
3. Gains an adopted family
4. Begins to change everyone's perception of her unit
5. Solves all her fights with solutions no one in her unit would try or think of because it's against tradition.
6. Knows a super duper martial arts technique that makes her OP and able to think through any situation....somehow.
7. Is constantly questioned and constantly receives surprise wherever she goes because she's a girl

There are other similarities but off the top of my head this is just some of them. If you've read one you don't need to read the other.

A repeat of a different book
