Ranked for listeners who want the whole story: The Mysterious Daughter (The Undoubtable Rose Beaufont) in science fiction & fantasy, read by Dara Rosenberg.

Rose Harkness is not just mortal. She’s half magician. And she’s in a lot of trouble. By the way, she’s not a Harkness, either. Her entire life, she’s been guarded, shielded, protected. She’s also been lied to… When a magical dragon emerges, Rose learns the truth. Now, Rose must leave the safety of her only home—and embrace her birthright. Can she do it? The House of Fourteen is relying on her. The Mortal Seven need her. Her real family, the Beaufonts. Well, they can’t wait to meet her . Rose doesn’t know much about the world, but what little she knows will be turned upside down. Mortals are destroying themselves using magic from the black market. The world has been overrun. The House of Fourteen can no longer govern magic as they’ve done for centuries. They need a new type of warrior. They need a witch hunter. Can Rose embrace both her family and her magic to stop mortals before they destroy themselves? The future depends on it.
