Tess of the Road Audiobook (Free)

Award-winning Rachel Hartman’s newest YA is normally a tour de force and a perfect dream for the #metoo movement.

‘Tess of the street is astonishing and perfect. It is the most compassionate publication I’ve browse since George Eliot’s Middlemarch.’ –NPR

In the medieval kingdom of Goredd, women are expected to become ladies, men are their protectors, and dragons can be whomever they choose. Tess is normally none of these things. Tess can be . different. She speaks out of turn, has wild suggestions, and can’t appear to keep out about Tess of the street of trouble. After that Tess goes too far. What she’s performed is so disgraceful, she can’t also allow herself to think of it. Unfortunately, the past cannot be ignored. So Tess’s family members decide the only path for her is a nunnery.

But on the day she is to join the nuns, Tess chooses a different path for herself. She cuts her hair, pulls on her boots, and units out on a trip. She’s not running away, she’s working towards something. What that something is definitely, she doesn’t know. Tess just knows that the open road is certainly a map to someplace else–a existence where she might belong.

Time for the spellbinding world of the Southlands she developed in the award-winning, New York Times bestselling novel Seraphina, Rachel Hartman explores self-reliance and redemption with this wholly original illusion.
