Story
Long ago, the world fell into twilight, when the great empires of old consumed each other in sorcerous cataclysms. In the south, the Star Towers fell, swallowed by the sea, while the black glaciers descended upon the northern holdfasts, entombing the cities of Min-Ceruth in ice and sorcery. Then from the ancient empire of Menekar, the paladins of Ama came, putting every surviving sorcerer to the sword and cleansing their taint from the land. The pulse of magic slowed, fading like the heartbeat of a dying man. But after a thousand years, it has begun to quicken again.

Worldy Epic.
Wow that was brilliant, A fantastic Sci-fi and Fantasy mix up by Alec Hutson. I absolutely believe if the author wrote about a bag of coal the story would be amazing, The worldbuilding, setting and plot is truly out of this world, literally. After reading his last two series I knew that I would not be disappointed, and boy this story will really blow the socks of you. In The Shadows of Dust, the author takes you on a journey through the stars atop a giant flying turtle. A bloody giant turtle with a ship on its back. Sounds strange, but its so awesome. The main protagonist Kerin is a streamsurfer, an individual who surfs through space on Drifter his giant turtle, a starbeast who has been with his family for many generations. Starbeasts share a special bond with their surfers that allows them to speak directly to one another telepathically. Surfing alongside Kerin is Nala, a kyrathi, a feline humanoid battlemage, and she is a cracking character. Kerin used to be part of a streamsurfer guild but has to make ends meet after been kicked out. To earn some funds to stay alive and aloft and to feed Drifter. He takes a job that lands him and his crew in a perilous situation with a Lich and his Skeletal Giant Dragon. Kerin's newest crew member Sep who has suffered a strange and powerful magical alteration will bring Kerin and his crew on a journey to a planet he hasn’t been to in decades in hoping to try and cure her. In this adventure you learn more about this fascinating world Alec Hutson has created and some of its inhabitants and magics are truly epic. I really hope there's a follow up. The Narration by Guy Williams is great. I very highly recommend..😁

Outstanding SciFi Fantasy
The world-building continues throughout the story and is excellent. The characters are well-developed and you come to love each one more and more to the final scene. The story-line is imaginative and reminiscent of Firefly but with powers that border on "magic." Alec Hutson (author), this is an outstanding piece of work. Thank you for sharing it with me. Lastly, the narration in the Audible version is excellent as it covers males and females of different species, space "creatures" and even a "broken" child.
