Summary

"What the gods give with one hand, they take away with the other, for if you are gifted, you shall also be cursed."

Tristan's Folly is the stunning sequel to the acclaimed Kings and Daemons, and the second in The Gifted and the Cursed trilogy.

Tristan's Folly. An ageing fortress built over 50 years ago to repel the invading hordes of the Witch-King, Daleth, an invasion that never materialized - until now.

Now the stronghold is a crumbling reflection of its former might, with a mere 1,500 men all that stand between Daleth's savage horde of a hundred thousand, and certain doom.

As Kings and Daemons face one another, there is but one shining light that pushes back the encroaching darkness, but even her flame is slated to be extinguished thanks to Tristan’s Folly.

In this epic tale of a battle against the odds, the best and worst of humankind collide...sacrifice, bravery and love, set against betrayal, greed, and hatred.

Tristan's Folly is a dark fantasy with a light romance to offset the darkness, set in a dystopian world, where those who are gifted by the gods with one hand are cursed with the other.

If you enjoyed reading/listening to books by authors such as:

The Gifted and the Cursed trilogy is suitable for lovers of dark fantasy, epic fantasy, low fantasy, new adult fantasy, sword & sorcery, fantasy romance, and coming of age.

The narration and audio quality is second rate compared to the first book. I don’t know how the same narrator could do such a poor job given the decent job on the first book. Sounds like he recorded it on a phone on his desk. The characters’ voices are all the same monotone as the narrative.

Good story poorly delivered
