Summary

They'd trained their entire lives to be heroes, only to discover they're no longer needed....

The Shadowborne had always fascinated Will. His grandfather's stories told of mythical warriors wielding dark, ancient magic, defending justice and battling dragons. But that's all they were, bedtime stories...until the Shadows embraced Will himself.

Now, propelled from the normal world into the mythical realm of Aeril, Will must learn to control his newfound power while discovering his place in this strange, new world. With his brother, Madigan, at his side, he sets off on a journey to uncover the truth of a secret that has been buried for centuries. For an ancient evil is stirring in Aeril, an evil that seeks to destroy the very fabric of reality. Can Will and Madigan discover the key to saving Aeril before all is lost?

If you like fast-paced action, raw emotions, and dark supernatural forces, then you’ll love unlocking the secrets of this epic adventure.

Most enjoyable

I am looking forward to reading the next in the series. It’s one of those books that starts at the very very beginning of the story. It is obvious from early on that there is a lot more to come. Having said that there is copious amount to get your teeth into in this book and a wealth of characters and geographical backgrounds. Not to many characters that the story and enjoyment is lost. I sincerely hoe that you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Terrible

Main characters not believable, brainless and stupid wouldn’t recommend. Every chapter repeats itself. Two brothers no clue where they are have a fight lucky to survive the fight. Enemy becomes untrusted allies. Throw in damsel in distress and they set off again two brothers no clue where they are …repeat repeat until last chapter and the brothers separated next book no doubt two brothers seeking each other blah blah blah.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

I listened to this in the car on my long journeys and often found myself wishing I'd got stuck in traffic to listen to more.

Simple fantasy story, easy to follow, with charming but realistic characters. can't wait to listen to the next one.

Awful

Two whiney boys decide to get revenge for their Grandfather's murders, arrogantly strolling into a world they don't know or understand in complete belief it'll be a doddle.
The irritating protagonists have no connection to the world and have entirely self serving, juvenile, motivations. Two thirds of the way in and I was of the vague hope they would reach the big bad and get killed. I wouldn't miss them, it would be entirely inconsequential for the world of the story and I don't think there was another character in the book who would either.

I've no complaints about the narration though, would listen to something else by this voice actor.

Very pleasant lecture

Captivating story, beautiful fantasy world, the only thing I disliked was the lack of characters description, but that's a matter of personal taste

Couldn’t stop listening

Once I started I just couldn’t stop, there was no end to the listening until I finished the book, and I will be looking forward to the new instalments of the series very eagerly :)
