About this listen

Warriors. Lovers. Enemies. Legends.

Their union became pivotal in Irin history, but to understand Damien and Sari's ending, you must go back to their beginning. Four hundred years ago, a young singer and a hardened warrior met and loved each other, but their life was torn apart by violence.

But no matter how much pain and anger stain their lives, bonds in the Irin race cannot be abandoned. Damien and Sari will never truly leave each other, because those who are destined cannot be ignored.

The Staff and the Blade is the fourth book in the Irin Chronicles.

The Staff and the Blade is the story of Damien and Sari. Being the 4th book in the series, their back story was covered to a much lesser degree in Ava and Malachi's books (1-3 in the series), but I was excited to finally listen to the full story of their relationship. The reader know's going in that it was not a happy one for a long time, and there was much sadness and devastation for them both.

I've been listening to the audiobooks for this series, and finished The Secret just over 2 months ago. As Zachary Webber narrated the first 3 (and did an AMAZING job of it), I decided to wait a while before listening to The Staff and the Blade due to the narrator being a different one, and I didn't want to constantly compare his performance to ZW. I'm so glad I waited - I don't think I would have enjoyed listening as much if I went straight onto this from The Secret.

im sure its a fantastic book thoroughly enjoyed the first three. but just couldnt get on with this narrator. having been previously spoiled with Zachary Webber the performance here was just very wooden and actually sounded like he was just reading a book. very dissapointed. have returned.

Narrator was too wooden.
