About this listen

Who better to fight back the darkness of the world than the one responsible for most of it?

Daylen, once known as the Great Bastard, the Scourge of Nations, Dayless the Conqueror, has lived in hiding since his presumed death. Burdened by age and tremendous guilt, he thinks his life is coming to an end. Unbeknownst to him he’s about to embark on a journey towards redemption where his ruthless abilities might save the world. Many battles await with friends to be made and a past filled with countless crimes to confront, all the while trying to keep his true identity a secret.

Indeed, it might be too much if not for the fabled power awaiting him.

Everfall is a world of perpetual day where the continents float in an endless sky. If one jumps from the continent they will fall for many hours before returning to the same place from which they fell. Skyships rule the air powered by shining sunstone and industrial darkstone. A legendary order of knights bears mystical powers which they use to hunt out the dreaded shade, monsters that regular people turn into if trapped in darkness for the length of a fall.

It is a world of enchanted swords, merciless monsters, mystical knights, and hard magic, filled with tales of wonder and adventure.

I truely enjoyed listening to this book, I don’t usually go for fantasy stories but the writing and reading of this book put me right in the middle of this world and I now can’t wait for the sequel!

Not my usual genre, but didn’t disappoint

Clearly having taken some inspiration from the Cosmere (especially The Stormlight Archive) - Shad has crafted quite the interesting world and a great story - though he may need another editor to take a look over his work, it is nonetheless a great first entry into what will surely be a great saga!

This book was in every way fantastic, the only reason it didn’t get a full star rating is because I know Shad will only get better from here and there’s always room for improvement. First of all congratulations on an amazing first novel and on getting Kramer and Reading to narrate! I’ve watched Shads videos for a few years now and this book honestly caught me by surprise, I had my doubts that he might be a little too finicky with describing accuracies in the arsenal of Everfall but I couldn’t have been more wrong, his knowledge and innate interest in history helps tremendously to add depth and weight to the world. While there were a couple of moments I felt the narrator changed perspectives too rapidly, dispersing my immersion on occasion, I still couldn’t stop listening, great world building, character development, a magic system that feels warmly inspired by the Stormlight archive by Brandon Sanderson and intense combat to match. All in all a great listen and I can’t wait to read the paperback as well.
Favourite character: Oric (forgive misspelling I’ll have that down after I’ve read the paperback haha).
