Lauren Fortgang expertly narrates this audiobook, the first in a new dark fantasy series. Trinity lives in a community safeguarded by wardens, gargoyle shape-shifters that keep everyone safe from demons. When word reaches her clan that a mysterious force is wiping out demons and wardens on the outside, Trinity and her new companion, Zayne, must master their secret powers for the good of their loved ones and community. Fortgang’s expressive narration captures the sarcastic and raw tone of the teenage protagonists. Fortgang also excels at delivering the suspense of daring escapes and fights. This is truly an excellent introduction to a highly anticipated series. G.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine

"All in all, Storm and Fury is such a wonderful way to continue telling stories in the universe Jen Armentrout so deftly built for the Dark Elements series. I am absolutely in for all the Warden history and lore, for all the possibilities and struggles that this forboding 'harbinger' will bring. I am fully invested in both Trinity and Zayne, and am desperate to see what lies ahead for them. So, I promise to try and be patient for the next chapter of this saga, but I know I will breathe a sigh of relief when the next title is released, when the next cover is revealed, and when the next story arrives on my doorstep. Until then, I shall sing the song of the Wardens to any and all who will listen, because I truly love this book." -Hypable
