About this listen

Her name is Alias, and she is in big trouble.

She is a sell-sword, a warrior-for-hire, and an adventuress. She awoke with a series of twisting, magical blue sigils inscribed on her arms and no memory of where she got them.

Determined to learn the nature of the mysterious tattoo, Alias joins forces with an unlikely group of companions: the halfling bard, Ruskettle, the southern mage, Akabar, and the oddly silent lizard-man, Dragonbait. With their help, she discovers that the symbols hold the key to her very existence.

But those responsible for the sigils aren't keen on Alias's continued good health. And if the five evil masters find her first, she may discover all too soon their hideous secret.

I first read this book a long time ago when I was a teenager. So, probably about 25 years or so ago. At the time I thought it was great, so when I saw it listed on Audible I thought it'd be worth a listen.
This is one of the old-school, 80's American fantasy novels a la Dragonlance and, as such, it's aimed more at young adults than the likes of Game of Thrones. This is no bad thing in itself but some fantasy fans new to the genre might find this kind of book a little twee.
I was happy to find myself enjoying the tale, which is a good one no matter what age you are, and the characters and events were interesting enough to keep me listening right to the end. I'll buy the second book in the series too at some point, no doubt.
Dragons, magic, sword fights, friendship, a dangerous quest - it's all here and the fact it's aimed at teens means there's some light humour and nothing gets too dark or depressing.
The narrator is okay without being either brilliant or annoying.

Heartily recommended.

Fun fantasy tale.

Story is pretty good, 1-2 interesting characters and voice actress was very good. Likely to get next book.

Worth a listen

This is an excellent introduction to the world of forgotten realms. The story flows easily and has a twist you don't expect in a fantasy novel.

Just as good as I remember

It's been quite a few years since I had last picked this book up. When I had noticed it on here, I could not resist to pick it up again. So glad I did.
