Publisher's Summary

It doesn’t take a legendary sword to make a legendary swordsman, but it certainly helps.

Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake.

But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

The Six Sacred Swords are Kaldwyn’s most famous artifacts, forged as the only means to defeat the god beasts. Each sword must be earned by a worthy champion, and no single person has ever managed to collect them all.

Not yet, at least. Keras is just getting started.

Six Sacred Swords is a lighthearted fantasy adventure inspired by Japanese game series like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Fire Emblem. It takes place in the same universe as the Arcane Ascension novels, but years earlier and with a different protagonist. While the books are interconnected, they can be listened to on their own in any order.

For appendices with further details on the magic and characters, please download the supplementary PDF.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fantastic

Adds a lot of lore to the world. it's interesting because the book is told like it's being told you you as a story. And not someone just reading a book it's fantastic

More of a beautiful world

It's so often that I read a series, fall in love with characters and as a story teller moves away from those main characters, the world seems to loose what made me love it so much.
Not this time.
After reading sufficiently advanced magic this book was a welcomed reprieve and introduced more of the world without leaving behind what was already introduced.

Whos the lead?

only problem is, Keras and Coran are too similar in thought patterns. Even Dawn displays some of the same banter as from the Coran group. An example is the pun humour, which is funny and intellectual, right up until the characters point out the fact.

Great listen as to be expected after the others

I noticed that the voice for Corin seemed more like the voice of Patrick from the Arcane Ascension series which put me off for a bit, but overall it's not too big a deal + in this book they are barely included, still a great listen and great book

love it

The only issue I have with this incredible author is that his books are too short for such incredibly captivating stories.

Fun story and narration

This is a fun adjunct to the arcane ascension books. It’s interesting to hear some of Keira’s’ history

Saccharine, Cloying and so logical.

Andrew Rowe’s arcane ascension series has been a hard read. I’ve found the world building, characters and prose to be very cloying and trite.
If someone was to make Kingdom Hearts into a fantasy series, it would be this series.
This book in particular is the current capstone of this summation. One truly powerful and competent magic man goes on a quest with two faithful friends. But it’s not his skill or wit that allows him to prevail, but the power of friendship and the truth in his heart.
That seems like the common theme in this series, and it’s boring.
That’s the main problem with this series and this book in particular, it’s not very exciting.
You see the twists coming from a mile away, and the humour is very bland.
I’d still recommend it to fans of anime, or for younger readers as an entry level introduction to fantasy.
The narrator did a solid job with the material he had.
