About this listen

Everyone in Navronne seems to be after Valen. There is the fanatical Harrower priestess, Sila Diaglou, who wants to raze the kingdom. The Bastard Prince Osriel, who steals dead men's eyes. And the Pureblood Registry, determined to keep every pureblood sorcerer in thrall. Even beings out of myth, the Danae guardians, whose dancing nurtures the Earth and whose attention could prove the most costly of all.

As Navronne sinks deeper into civil war and perilous winter, Valen finds himself a bargaining chip in a deadly standoff. Doomed to madness by his addiction to the doulon, and bound by oaths he refuses to abandon, the young sorcerer risks body and soul to rescue one child, seek justice for another, and bring the ailing land its righteous king. Yet no one is who they seem, and Valen's search for healing grace leads him from Harrower dungeons to the very heart of the world. In the twilight of a legend, he at last discovers the hard truth of the coming dark age and the glorious, terrible price of the land's redemption...and his own.

I have read and reread these books many times over the years, and I love them. So I was very pleased to find them on Audible. I bought them a while ago, and couldn't listen to them, as the narrator is awful, and I returned them after listening to about half an hour of the first book. I'd forgotten that I had tried to listen once before, and as I'd just finished listen to Dust and Light and Ash and Silver, the Sanctuary duet, magnificently narrated by MacLeod Andrews, I decided to buy these two books again. If only Mr Andrews had been the narrator of these two books all would be well. Sadly we have Allen O'Reilly, who seems to think he must finish reading the book in record time, and offers no characterization, so that it is impossible to tell which character is speaking. My memory may be poor, hence my purchasing these books again, but my opinion of the dreadful narration hasn't changed. If only Audible would request that MacLeod Andrews narrate these two books and re-release them, I would be more than happy to purchase them for a third time, and would definitely keep them.

I listened to this with great pleasure ; excellent to "re-read" one of my favourite books. Romantic, exciting, spiritual, and with nature as a key theme. Wonderful.

Great conclusion
