About this listen

Born in fire. Tempered in blood.

Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North.

In the remote villages of Southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving - a test of courage and skill that not all survive. But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war that has been raging for centuries.

There is no prophecy. His coming was not foretold. He bleeds like any man, and bleed he will.

Includes bonus story The Fall.

I have been looking for a story like this for a long while now. This did not disappoint. Fast paced yet in depth. Left me hanging to see what comes next.

I didn't enjoy the reading of this, the voice is very hard to listen to for long, has some strange robotic pronunciations and odd inflection. The story and characters seem interesting enough though, I think I'll switch to reading the physical book.

Interesting story let down by robotic reading

This was better than expected. Narration is good and despite some familiar fantasy tropes, the story kept me engaged. I'd read more from Cahill.

Decent fantasy
