About this listen

Can a weapon forged in the darkness ever truly represent the light?

On the fringe of a war-ravaged Delnorian Empire, a mysterious sect harbours an unbelievable secret: an ancient prophecy foretelling the return of a legendary king who will usher in a golden age for humankind.

Amidst the chaos, Malina, a rebellious slave, is unwittingly thrust into the heart of destiny when she's sold at auction and taken to the Mountain of Souls—a dark, mystical place where her future becomes irrevocably entwined with the prophecy.

For if she can survive the deadly training that awaits, she’ll attain sufficient skills, knowledge, and power to join The Chosen, a fearsome cohort assigned to overcome the malevolent forces standing in the way of the king’s ascension.

Failure means certain death and even success will come at a terrible cost: a conscience stained by blood, deceit, betrayal and the sacrifice of her very soul.

But is it a price she’s willing to pay?

Listen, and you'll discover more than just Malina's tale … but the revelation of an astonishing plan spanning millennia, in which myths of the past influence the present to determine the future.

Kept me wanting more m.
This book was so hard to stop listening to as I wondered what the outcome for the young, orphaned Malina, and her fellow orphans would be.
Surviving the horrendous trails set before them daily to turn them into assassins for the “Once and Only King” was their only goal

This was a fun fantasy read. I finished all 4 books of the series in a matter of days. I really enjoyed the anti-hero vibe from the FMC and her struggles to stay on the right path. I recommend this series.
