Publisher's Summary

Reader's Favorite Award Winner in Epic Fantasy

Erik Eleodum never wanted to be a hero. Fate had a different plan.

Erik will face danger, deceit, murder, death, evil, and - most terrifyingly - himself, to become the hero he was always meant to be.

Erik is content farming for his family for the rest of his life, while his brother and cousin can't think of a worse fate. For different reasons, they leave the life they know behind. Soon, their world crashes down around them as they realize it is cruel, brutal, selfish, and violent. Now, they must not only rely on one another, but also on gypsies, thieves, mercenaries, dwarves, and a mage for their survival. 

In the end, Erik will face danger, deceit, murder, death, evil, and - most terrifyingly - himself, to become the hero he was always meant to be as an ancient evil many thought only a myth resurfaces. 

Enter a world fans have compared to the epic fantasies of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, a world of adventure, terror, political intrigue, sorcery, and great heroic deeds. Come face-to-face with ogres, elves, dwarves, slavers, black mages, ruthless warriors, dragons, evil and fear.  

A true hero's journey of faith, friendships, and trials well worth the price of admission!

Bad narration

Ok so the story is good has all the elements. Adventure,magic, mythical creatures violence battle all the good stuff but the narration is crap. I don’t imagine I’ll listen to the next one unless narrator is changed

Wanted to like it

The reviews suggested it was a good book but I can't agree. The writing was average with many repeat words. I found the story line disjointed with characters jumping in and out of the book , sometimes not reappearing for many, many pages. The performance was stilted though I liked the sound effects. Overall the whole experience was disappointing and I needed to force myself to finish listening to the novel
