Publisher's Summary

An ancient evil. A treacherous king. A mystery going back to the fall of the gods.

In the heart of Vandar, as dark forces close in, Elyon, a gifted Bladeborn knight, fights for his family's survival in a world on the brink of war. In the beleaguered northlands of Tukor, a servant girl with a mysterious past is forced on the run by a treacherous lord, propelling her on a journey that will change her world forever. From the Shadowfort, an ancient power is unleashed, one that will set into motion a series of events that will bring the world to its knees.

With the world on the verge of chaos and countless lives at stake, a new First Blade must be selected, but obstacles stand in the way. Alliances are broken. Enemies are born. Only the strong will survive.

Follow this epic tale where the battle for land, power, and the divine gifts of the Fallen Gods will shape the fates of all.

This book was AWESOME

I drive to work at least 45 minutes each way. I really, really looked forward the drive so I could listen to this book.

The character development and progression of the main characters is so engaging. Full of intrigue and a mixed of mythology and medieval.

Great opening book

Has a lot going on so I'll have to re-listen to make sure I didn't miss anything but was very entertaining on the first listen.

tedious and unexciting

I am a big fan of an epic fantasy, when I saw this book had good ratings and was over 20hrs, I got excited. it was a struggle to finish, I kept waiting for something exciting to happen to no avail. Most of the characters are dull and nonengaging, I found Satska the most interesting character, but again her story doesn't really culminate into anything in this book. The narrator's voice is clear and steady but does nothing to build any drama in this book

What a waste of time

You introduce a main character that does F’ing nothing the whole book. What a waste of time. The author try to make yonik seem human but really all you did was make me dislike the entire series. Don’t bother reading this. Will just make you angry.
