About this listen

An ancient evil. A treacherous king. A mystery going back to the fall of the gods.

In the heart of Vandar, as dark forces close in, Elyon, a gifted Bladeborn knight, fights for his family's survival in a world on the brink of war. In the beleaguered northlands of Tukor, a servant girl with a mysterious past is forced on the run by a treacherous lord, propelling her on a journey that will change her world forever. From the Shadowfort, an ancient power is unleashed, one that will set into motion a series of events that will bring the world to its knees.

With the world on the verge of chaos and countless lives at stake, a new First Blade must be selected, but obstacles stand in the way. Alliances are broken. Enemies are born. Only the strong will survive.

Follow this epic tale where the battle for land, power, and the divine gifts of the Fallen Gods will shape the fates of all.

It's a slow start, hard to connect the dots on what's going on for a while but it reeled me in about chapter 3 or 5.

Will I'd listen it again, probably, that could affect the score. also btw it's 24 hours not 28hours a little bit off.


Has really good potential.

Well narrated and a great weaving of the threads. Going to have to get the next one.

Fabulous story

(Review for the series) if you like epic fantasy, something long and intricate that you can sink your teeth into, I can't recommend this series enough. 7 books in and after consuming hundreds of audio books I can say it's one of my favourites. Although most ideas aren't groundbreaking, the world building is great and well thought out. But where it truly shines are the characters, I find almost all completely relatable, believable and likable. Which actually made me care about what happens to them. To cap it off the narration is top notch and average length is 35 - 40 hours, so great value. I emplore you, give it a go.....

Excellent series

I loved the way there are so many interesting characters and sub plots. Wonderfully woven together, to keep the listener gripped.
The narrator as always is amazing. Just the right amount of inflection and easy to recognise the various characters. About to listen to the second book . Can’t wait

Amazing book , wonderful characters

Was not sure to begin with as the story was slow to start, but very soon I was completely hooked and could not stop listening. It is well narrated and I can’t wait to get into the next three books.

Couldn’t put down
