About this listen

It doesn’t take a legendary sword to make a legendary swordsman, but it certainly helps.

Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake.

But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

The Six Sacred Swords are Kaldwyn’s most famous artifacts, forged as the only means to defeat the god beasts. Each sword must be earned by a worthy champion, and no single person has ever managed to collect them all.

Not yet, at least. Keras is just getting started.

Six Sacred Swords is a lighthearted fantasy adventure inspired by Japanese game series like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Fire Emblem. It takes place in the same universe as the Arcane Ascension novels, but years earlier and with a different protagonist. While the books are interconnected, they can be listened to on their own in any order.

For appendices with further details on the magic and characters, please download the supplementary PDF.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An entertaining story with really good narration and character voices by Nick Podehl. Having already listened to probably far too many audio books narrated by Stephen Fry whose readings/performances are always engaging, i was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of narration- almost to the point where I look up the narration artist rather than the author!- though the engaging characters and witty/thoughtful dialogue by Andrew Rowe I’m sure facilitated the performance. A very entertaining series so far (so much so to encourage my first review!) and look forward to continuing the story.

Excellent narration and entertaining story

In my opinion, Andrew Rowe is at his strongest when he’s writing a story around one character but including a wider support base into their story. I loved War of Broken Mirrors but it didn’t hit the same for me as Arcane Ascension, and I think that’s why.

In this book, we’re taken back to one of the most intriguing characters and I think Andrew did a wonderful job of explaining the past and bringing more depth to the story and it really shines through in this one.

This book has the same well paced story, great and at time funny dialogue and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to moving on to the second one next and getting the third one when it’s out on audible later this year.

As always, Nick did a fantastic job of narration and I couldn’t imagine it with a better suited narrator.

Loved it!

A compelling novel with a lot of fantastic worldbuilding!

Andrew's unique analytical style presents a world of puzzles and magic, but most importantly, characters who are interested in engaging with the world, even if that is often with bizarre shows of violence.

Genuinely relatable characters, LGBT+ rep and great depictions of neurodiversity in a high fantasy world that you just want to get Iseki'd into.

A departure from the other series, the charismatic if somewhat repressed swordsman from afar let's us see the world with new eyes. Brash and bold, but deeply respectful of life, our hero brings such a warm feeling to the world. The trope of himbo overpowered swordsman falls apart to a treatise on what it means to fight and take lives, in a genre that often has hero's display unimaginable violence and not lose sleep after it.

First, I should stress/explain - this is connected to the Arcane Ascension series by the same author (which starts with Sufficiently Advanced Magic), but none of its contents spoil the AA series; they are instead focused on another character's past.

The characters and their interactions are, as seems usual for Andrew Rowe, happily enjoyable, and the story is relatively light. Nick Podehl is also an excellent narrator, giving each character distinct voices and helping bring the text to life.

Enjoyable Characters, Excellent Narrator
