About this listen

The Mercenary Code has been broken, and a new Protectorate Empire has arisen.

In league with renegade mages known as the Fallen, the Protectorate will stop at nothing to expand its reach and unify the factions of Old Caledun by any means necessary. The few who escaped the coup are now in a tenuous struggle against the growing influence of this corrupt new Order.

Mercenary companies loyal to the old ways race to defend one of the last bastions of freedom in the South. In the capable hands of its ardent commander, one city prepares for the decisive battle that will shape the future of Kal Maran. New allies have joined the cause, but can they turn the tide?

In the depths of an ancient subterranean library, two unlikely companions continue to explore the mysteries of a long-vanished race. While in the distant Drayen Lands, a foreign noblewoman is thrust to the fore in the midst of an enemy invasion by sea.

And in the North, hope has been rekindled. Surviving the trials of the Wilds and reaching the lands of the Iron Shield, the An'Dari - legendary protector of Kings - has returned. Searching for Caledun’s true heir, his memories hold the key to absolving the sins of the past.

It takes you away in a magical mist and leaves you in a world that echoes our own.

Dwarvenly Good

Unlike Book 1, this books gets a bat on and there is no stopping the action that follows. Action is both fast and furious but, again, I found a list of the characters involved would have been helpful to separate characters out when there are so many diverse ones.

I have listened to many similar books like this and came to a point where little surprised or appeared new to me (while still be good books). Emmit has managed to combine the best of both worlds, familiarity and excellent story telling with some different, dark and intriguing characters that have kept me engaged. Thoroughly recommend this and the first book. Off to start the third now..... oh and Simon Vance is at his usual impeccable self and enhances any story with his first rate narration.

Excellent Continuation

A great tale well told and told by a skilled narrator who shortened the long winter nights.

Well worth a listen
