It doesn’t take a legendary sword to make a legendary swordsman, but it certainly helps.

Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake.

But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

The Six Sacred Swords are Kaldwyn’s most famous artifacts, forged as the only means to defeat the god beasts. Each sword must be earned by a worthy champion, and no single person has ever managed to collect them all.

Not yet, at least. Keras is just getting started.

Six Sacred Swords is a lighthearted fantasy adventure inspired by Japanese game series like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Fire Emblem. It takes place in the same universe as the Arcane Ascension novels, but years earlier and with a different protagonist. While the books are interconnected, they can be listened to on their own in any order.

Fantastic listen

I'm a big fan of Andrew Rowe, especially the Corrin Cadence books, but this book seemed to be lacking something the other books have. Perhaps it's the reduced threat because Kerris is so powerful, perhaps I'm just less of a fan of the writing style for this series.
Nick Podehl remains my favourite audiobook voice actor but I did notice him slipping out of character a couple of times, especially when the narrator starts sounding like his natural voice (sorry if you can't unhear that).
Overall, the quality isn't up to their normal standard but it is still fun and well worth it if you like Kerris or want to know more about the lore, history and connection between series.

Fun, enjoyable, not his best work

Loved it, left me needing more! Odd concept having a book series live in between 2 other series but it works so well when the world's clash and join together so we'll.
Looking forward to book 2 and lota more I hope.

Funny and thrilling

This story wound its way deep into my head. I’ve often found myself reflecting on some aspects of this story when reading other stories in the genre.

A love letter to a weapon

An entertaining story with really good narration and character voices by Nick Podehl. Having already listened to probably far too many audio books narrated by Stephen Fry whose readings/performances are always engaging, i was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of narration- almost to the point where I look up the narration artist rather than the author!- though the engaging characters and witty/thoughtful dialogue by Andrew Rowe I’m sure facilitated the performance. A very entertaining series so far (so much so to encourage my first review!) and look forward to continuing the story.

Excellent narration and entertaining story
