About this listen

A baby is born and placed in his dead mother’s arms…
When the funeral shroud is cast over her, his father names his son Pall. It will soon become a name that strikes a shiver of fear into the hearts of those who hear it in combat.

A lone survivor on a battlefield many years later, Pall dazedly recovers from the wounds of war. Despite the dead cast about him, everything he looks upon is unfamiliar to him. Wandering away from this scene of carnage, he encounters John Savage, a giant of a man who puts Pall within the sight of Savage’s seven-foot, nocked longbow.

What ensues from this deadly encounter is an elusive journey for truth. Yet, while it is haunted by a ravening demon that is out to destroy Pall and John, the vision and prayers of a startlingly beautiful young woman protect them from afar.

This is the first Keith Carreiro book I've listened to and it's A well written story with interesting characters. The book is fast paced and keeps the listeners attention. Joe Mills narration if top notch and brings the story to life. I'm not sure I'd want to continue this series but this first book was well worth listening to.
I was kindly given a copy of the book and leave this honest review.
