BOOK ONE OF THE ILLBORN SAGA

Long ago, The Lord Aiduel emerged from the deserts of the Holy Land, possessed with divine powers. He used these to forcibly unite the peoples of Angall, before His ascension to heaven. Over eight hundred years later, in a medieval world which is threatened by war and religious persecution, four young men and women begin to develop supernatural abilities. These forbidden and secret powers will shatter the lives that they have known, and will force each of them to confront the mystery of the ethereal Gate which haunts their dreams. What does the dream mean, and how is it connected to their burgeoning abilities? As they experience conflict, love, lust and betrayal, in lands which are being overtaken by war, they must try to stay ahead of and to survive the sinister forces which are now pursuing them. For they are being hunted…

Illborn is Daniel T. Jackson’s powerful and gritty debut novel, and is the thrilling opening chapter in the epic fantasy story of The Illborn Saga.

I am absolutely gutted that book 2 is not available on audiobook. As I would have love to continue the story.

Illborn is an impressive debut that mixes classic epic fantasy vibes with deep characters and a dark, immersive world. The audiobook really pulls you in, thanks to a standout performance by Nathaniel Priestley that makes it really hard to hit pause. An easy 5 star audiobook!

This book is amazing!

I’d already read Illborn when it was first released (and have also read the next two in the series, eagerly awaiting the final book). I was delighted when I heard that Illborn was being released as an audiobook (I’m a big audiobook fan).

The story is excellently paced, full of twists and turns and a fantastic series opener. That prologue, which is one of the best I’ve ever read, is done justice in the audio version. The rest of the book follows suit.

The narration is dealt with perfectly for this type of book. It’s the first time I’ve heard this narrator and he’s now on my ‘follow’ list.

This is a must-read; you will not be disappointed.

Amazing story. Fantastic narration. Give it a go!

I honestly can’t rate this book highly enough. Possibly one of the best prologues EVER!! The narration is on point and the pace of the story is also on point. I enjoyed this audiobook so much that I actually bought the next books in the series (and I’m no big reader) so I could find out what happens next. And I haven’t regretted it. The biggest compliment I can pay this audiobook is that it’s got me reading again!

Absolutely brilliant!!
