About this listen

The mysterious, indomitable warrior? Ruthless criminal overlord? The Riel'gesh - mythical demigod? Dedicated friend and protector?

Equipped with skills far beyond those of the outworlders, Rezkin has been suddenly thrust into a foreign world. The young warrior clings to his only known purpose as he continues his search for any information about his identity and the reason for his existence.

While the hardened warrior scorns both dueling and tournaments, he believes some of the answers he seeks may be found at the King's Tournament, the greatest dueling championship in all of the kingdoms. As he searches for the elusive Striker Farson, who may be the only person alive who holds the clues, the young warrior and his friends embark on a journey fraught with danger, mystery, and intrigue.

Amid fears of the kingdom's economic collapse, rumors of an eminent military draft, and the machinations of a mad, tyrannical king, a new revelation threatens to upend all the warrior's plans.

Can't wait for the next in this series. Have thoroughly enjoy this story by Kel Kade. Also Nick Podehl is a great narrator and enjoy the way he tells the story putting a lot of effort into each character. Can only hope the book three is not far away as have been through the first two twice now.
Since listening to this story l have listened to the next two books Legends of Ahn and Kingdoms and Chaos and still enjoyed the story.
Now here's the "BUT"........ The Author decided to publish another series before finishing Kings Dark Tidings. The last book Kingdoms an Chaos was released on the 21 November 2018, three years ago.....but she has published two books since. I notice that she has change publishers and don't know if this is the reason why she hasn't finished The Kings Dark Tidings Series but l am disappointing that after purchasing four books l am left up in the air again with no ending.
A couple of authors have done this and it's gotten to the stage l'm only purchasing books now, that if there a series then l will not purchase until the set is written. Disappointed, Kel Kade.

Good read, story.

The story is amazing, the narrator makes it easy to recognise who is speaking and lends a wicked amount of emotion to the characters.

Wicked Story and Narrator

Every book by Kel Kade has been amazing.
Nick Podehls female character voice very nearly turned me off this series early on. The first book felt the worst for the female characters, actually made me cringe and refund the book once. By book 3, I either got used to it or the narrator got far more skilled.

Incredible author

i finished this book within 24 hours of getting it, i have absolutely no shame in saying i avoided everybody and ignored people to read this, and 4 hours sleep was all i needed for a break, This is now my #1 book. Only flaw i can give it is the length was too short 😖

if you pick up this do not expect to put it down

KTD is my new favorite series, fantastic story line as well as gripping throughout, i could put the book away, always trying to listen to it when ever I could, I haven't found a book let alone two that have made me act like this in many years.

Kel Kade is an amazing writer, the way he describes his characters and how they act is amazing, it feels like you are right there with them.

5/5 for this series, very much looking forward to the third book once it's released, its going to be a long wait for me as I can happily say that the KDT books so far are my new favorite series 👍

Thankyou Kel Kade for creating this amazing series

one of the best books I have listened too

A writing style that captures the imagination, a compelling storyline and narration that shows amazing versatility. A great team effort that should continue beyond this series which in itself is a masterpiece. Well done.

Oh no! I have to wait for the next instalment!
