    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    ''After a mysterious asteroid impacts the planet Deluuvius, nameless horrors emerge from it and spread swiftly out from the crater in all directions. The planet’s primitive inhabitants come to investigate, but are attacked immediately. The people know nothing of the invaders, and that merciful ignorance is their only defense against the immortal alien abominations. Millions of years in the past, a faceless trio of incomprehensible entities emerged from a distant corner of reality and gave life to the abominations. They are the Three, and their home was a place beyond the reach of reason, but after a great struggle, they and their creations are eventually driven into the many haunted wastelands of Deluuvius. Thousands of years later, Dash, a brave individual with an uncertain youth, must travel into each of the treacherous wastelands to discover his enemies’ origins. Dash must solve the mystery of the Three in the most stunning mixture of fantasy and science fiction ever told.'' (Origin of Mystery is a pivotal work that this fully voiced audio-drama brings to life with sound-effects and original music.)

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a riveting book! I wanted to stay up to finish it, but my eyes said no. It's the second book in the series and I highly recommend reading the first one before this book. 
    Angela returns to Earth to search for and find the last two members of a group called the Ring. 
    Together, the Ring can access crucial knowledge that the world desperately needs. 
    Each member has unconsciously carried a piece of this knowledge over thousands of years. By reconnecting the pieces, they will help turn mankind’s negative, violent development on Earth into a positive, loving, and constructive progress. 
    If the Ring doesn’t reunite now, it is doubtful that they will ever succeed. 
    Angela only has forty-two days to find the last two members and convince them to go to In-Between with her. 
    During her forty-two days on Earth, Angela’s past, philosophy of life, and especially her sense of justice are challenged. 
    She must go beyond her limits, even when she sees her view of the world disintegrate. 
    The Ring is about standing firm and believing in something bigger than oneself. 
    It is about daring to live life to the fullest, looking death in the eye, letting go of the past, and having faith. 
    Through Angela’s journey, readers will come to see the world as they have never seen it before. 
    This is the second book in the addictive IN-BETWEEN series from author, Sagar Constantin .
