Summary
Raised and trained in seclusion at a secret fortress on the edge of the northern wilds of the Kingdom of Ashai, a young warrior called Rezkin is unexpectedly thrust into the outworld when a terrible battle destroys all that he knows. With no understanding of his life’s purpose and armed with masterful weapons mysteriously bestowed upon him by a dead king, Rezkin must travel across Ashai to find the one man who may hold the clues to his very existence.
Determined to adhere to his last orders, Rezkin extends his protection to an unlikely assortment of individuals he meets along the way, often leading to humorous and poignant incidents.
As if pursuing an elite warrior across a kingdom, figuring out who he is and why everyone he knows is dead, and attempting to find these so-called friends and protect them is not enough, strange things are happening in the kingdom. New dangers begin to arise that threaten not only Rezkin and his friends, but possibly everyone in Ashai.
This is the first installment of an ongoing series. This book is intended for adult readers. It contains graphic violence, creative language, and sexual innuendo. This book does not contain explicit sexual content.

Suprise Find!
I got this audiobook on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. It is a well written story, flowing from start to finish. The performance by the narrator was the most surprising (and best) thing about this audiobook. Nick Podehl supplied excellent voices for both the female and male characters and the many different accents were most expertly delivered. Straight on to the next book in this series.

Excellent, vibrant, and engaging
Great characterisation and the story develops well. Really my only negative comment is the abruptness of the ending.... However as a second book already exists whihh follows on, it's no great hardship.

excellent plot
loved it. the one thing that spoilt it was the storytellers attempt to carry off a female characters voice. however the story is so enthralling that it can be overlooked.

Just Brilliant
What made the experience of listening to Free the Darkness the most enjoyable?
The main character is built up beautifully with a lovely mix of him being a Vulcan and Segulah. The story is really clever with his development in a complex story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Free the Darkness?
The interplay between the main character and as he builds his circle of 'friends' ;-), no point expanding as that would be a spoiler.
Which character – as performed by Nick Podehl – was your favourite?
Redskin, though Tam was pretty good as well
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Live by the code

wasn't sure what was coming with this book, but reviews from some hardend fantasy fans for it persuaded me to give it a go and I'm happy I did! Story is good and makes you work to follow it. excellent listen with an excellent narration makes for a great all round experience. very much recommended.
