About this listen

Armies will clash, and even gods will die....

For thousands of years, the Breaker of the Dawn has been locked away in the ethereal plane of the Otherworld. Now, a young blacksmith’s apprentice finds himself trapped in a war between the noble Athrani, a subset of humanity gifted with the ability to transmute matter, and the malevolent and powerful Khyth, who seek to free the ancient god from his prison. When his father, Olson, is kidnapped, Thornton Woods and his childhood friend, Miera, must leave their small village of Highglade to find him. On their way, they are joined by Ynara and Kethras, cat-like humanoids called Kienari, who use their skills as hunter/trackers to follow Olson’s trail. When it comes to light that one among them possesses the key to the Breaker’s release, Thornton and his friends must defy the might of the Khyth as armies on both sides collide in pursuit of the ultimate prize.

Gift of the Shaper chronicles the epic struggle between the existing forces of good and evil, with both sides vying for control of the key that unlocks the Otherworld. The very powers of creation and destruction hang in the balance, and only a heroic effort by Thornton and Miera, backed by the power of the Athrani, can possibly stop the Khyth from unleashing ruin - and the Breaker - upon their world.

Gift of the shaper - @dl.jennings

If The Wheel of Time is Starbucks, then this is the coffee shop at the end of your road, easy to get into, welcoming, comfortable, homemade with love and just so enjoyable to be in.

Gift of the Shaper has everything a classic fantasy needs, the story of good against evil, ancient beings, prophecy and weapons of power….Except that’s it’s all different, the ancients aren’t who you think, the weapon isn’t what you think and the plan is not what you expect, fuck, the characters aren’t even WHO you think.

I LOVED the journey, the characters were awesome and the multiple POVs were just perfect. Oh and the writing? so SO approachable, the whole book felt like a conversation with an old friend, filling you in on the crazy things they’ve done this year.

One thing to add, it’s not often you find a fantasy book like this, written by a (handsome) man with such a range of strong, unexpected female characters. I absolutely cannot wait to continue this series 👌

Amazing narrator for an incredible story!
