About this listen

The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable war for generations. The lucky ones are born gifted: some have the power to call down dragons, others can be magically transformed into bigger, stronger, faster killing machines.

Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war. Tau Tafari wants more than this, but his plans of escape are destroyed when those closest to him are brutally murdered.

With too few gifted left the Omehi are facing genocide, but Tau cares only for revenge. Following an unthinkable path, he will strive to become the greatest swordsman to ever live, willing to die a hundred thousand times for the chance to kill three of his own people.

The Rage of Dragons launches an unmissable epic fantasy series about a world caught in an endless war and the young man who will become his people's only hope for survival.

A real swords and sandals type novel, more so than a full on fantasy. Great narration, and the plot was surprisingly good.

Badass action with a smidge of fantasy

I recently finished reading "The Rage of Dragons" by Evan Winter and was thoroughly impressed by the fast-paced and action-packed plot. The story follows the young warrior, Tau, as he sets out to avenge his family's death and bring honor to his clan by becoming a member of the elite Dragonslayers.

As Tau trains and prepares for the brutal competition, he finds himself embroiled in a larger conflict that threatens to destroy his entire world. With vivid and well-developed characters, a richly detailed world-building, and non-stop action, this book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

One of the things that I particularly enjoyed about "The Rage of Dragons" was the unique magic system. This added a fresh and exciting twist to the familiar tropes of the fantasy genre.

Overall, I highly recommend "The Rage of Dragons" to any fans of epic fantasy. It is a thrilling and emotional ride that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next book in the series.

Excellent! Can’t recommend enough.

This was awesome! It was really cool to have a fantasy series where the characters are of an African styling and the narration melded with that fantastically, suiting the story perfectly. I can’t wait to listen to next book.

I need more!
