About this listen

He thought he was born Rylan Marshall...until he found out he wasn’t.

Rylan was attacked, his young son murdered, his baby daughter taken. But his assailant left him with two gifts: the gift of magic...and an oath to darkness.

Gil Archer is the son of a legend and one of the most powerful battle mages in the Lyceum. He is sent on a mission to recover Rylan, but ends up on a far more dangerous path.

And war is coming for them both.

Will Rylan use his newfound power to make a stand, or will his oath to darkness guide him to the enemy? And will Gil live up to the legacy of his father, or will his fate lead him to a much darker destiny?

If you love grimdark fantasy filled with vivid realism, brutal warfare, and raw emotion, this new adventure is just for you.

Awful. Found it a very wooden and disjointed story - could not connect with/invest in the cardboard cut-out characters - or get to know them at all. Narration was OK - but it was a real struggle to finish it.

Meh - not for me

I ended skipping most of the end, the characters were weak of mind and soul, it was an embarrassment to see the weakest of character ended surviving and leading.

Boring and droll
