About this listen

A fearless warrior. An implacable traitor. The path toward a destiny only a god foresaw.

Fel'annár is a gifted immortal warrior embarking on his first patrol into the Deep Forest. Half-Silvan, half-Alpine, he battles the enemy from without, and the prejudice from within. But he learns more than just warfare when an arcane power begins to emerge, one he cannot control.

While friendships are forged, a destiny unfolds, one that is tied to a past he knows nothing about. For others, though, it is only a matter of time before the truth is revealed, and the danger becomes real.

If you love high fantasy worlds with compelling characters on a dangerous mission, you can't miss Path of a Novice, book one in the epic fantasy series The Silvan Saga.

I read this book and was transported. This is a well crafted and brilliant start to an eagerly awaited sequel. I decided to listen to it second time around and wasn’t disappointed I highly recommend this series in any format. A definite favourite.

Take a back seat Tolkien. There’s a new tale of elves

I really enjoyed this, the narrator is fantastic. The storyline isn't "epic", but the characters are well written and it got me interested. Definitely listening to book 2 immediately.

Great story

It started slowly but pulled me in. Easy enough to listen to and want to hear more. Will be list to the rest of the series.

The story line is good.

I absolutely loved this book. It pulled me in from the very beginning and has just left me wanting more. I found the characters fascinating, especially Fel’annar, and loved the world it was set in. The authors writing style was fantastic. I honestly can’t wait to listen to the second book.
The narrator speaking voice is very good. My only niggle was that he read Fel’annar’s voice very softly which wasn’t how I imagined him to speak. But like I said, it’s a tiny niggle for someone who was otherwise a very good narrator. To be honest, the story is so good even a bad narrator wouldn’t of stopped me from listening to it, and there’s no book yet where that’s happened. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

Loved it
