Summary

Kagen the Damned marks the first installment of an exciting new series of dark epic fantasy novels from bestselling author Jonathan Maberry.

Sworn by Oath

Kagen Vale is the trusted and feared captain of the palace guard, charged with protection of the royal children of the Silver Empire. But one night, Kagen is drugged and the entire imperial family is killed, leaving the empire in ruins.

Abandoned by the Gods

Haunted and broken, Kagen is abandoned by his gods and damned forever. He becomes a wanderer, trying to take down as many of his enemies as possible while plotting to assassinate the usurper, the deadly Witch-king of Hakkia. While all around him magic—long banished from the world—returns in strange and terrifying ways.

Fueled by Rage

To exact his vengeance, Kagen must venture into strange lands, battle bizarre and terrifying creatures, and gather allies for a suicide mission into the heart of the Witch-king’s empire.

Kings and gods will fear him.

A truly epic listen

This none spoilery quote from the book sums up the book perfectly for me:

""The shocked silence that followed lasted perhaps three full seconds...and then the pits of hell burst through the gates of reason."

Awesome narration!

The Narration was spot on.
The MC i enjoyed alot and his dialogue with Turk made me chuckle. But the lesbian sup-plot is what ruined it for me. The build up to the plot twist was absolute camel faeces.
If the author had invested the back story into the main Villain with the chapters he wrote about the hated lesbian subplot i would of totally 5 starred this review.
