Summary
"Lindsey Dorcus smoothly narrates this adventurous audiobook perfect for fans of fantasy role-playing games."—AudioFile
For fans who have always wanted their Twin Peaks to have some wizards, THE WARDEN is a nonstop action adventure story from author Daniel M. Ford.
There was a plan.
She had the money, the connections, even the brains. It was simple: become one of the only female necromancers, pass as many certifications as she could, get a post near the capital, then… profit. The funny thing about plans is that they are seldom under your control.
Now Aelis, a daughter of a noble house and a trained Magister of the Lyceum, finds herself in the far-removed village of Lone Pine. Mending fences and delivering baby goats, serving people who want nothing to do with her. But, not all is well in Lone Pine, and as the villagers Aelis is reluctantly getting to know start to behave strangely, Aelis begins to suspect that there is far greater need for a warden of her talents than she previously thought.
Old magics are restless, and an insignificant village on the farthest border of the kingdom might hold secrets far beyond what anyone expected. Aelis might be the only person standing between one of the greatest evils ever known and the rest of the free world.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor.com.
Critic reviews
"An appealing new fantasy series filled with adventure, action, and old magic."—Library Journal
"Captures an endearing fish out of water vibe in this pleasantly romantic fantasy about the importance of supporting one’s local necromancer. . . . The charming misfit cast is the highlight here. Readers who enjoy the maturing mages and heroes of Robin McKinley and Melissa Caruso will find another youngster on the rise to cheer for in these pages."—Publishers Weekly
“I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a quick fantasy read that features a strong female protagonist, really cool magic, and some fascinating worldbuilding that transports the reader into a wondrous setting “—Out of This World SFF

Here's the thing...
Like his last series, the paladin trilogy, Daniel does character work like the best of them, you care, you get a lay of the land and you're invested in the moment to moment.
What makes this book different from those is the pacing, this one is much more of an exploration than a hard fantasy punch to the face. This may turn off some people, but it's so well written and confident that I'm hoping it doesn't.
If you're reading this before listening, this is a great first book in a series, I can imagine alot of intense stuff going down in the future of the series and this sets a very good tone for building into an epic.
I'm glad Daniel finally got this one out, it was worth the wait. Onward to Necrobane

Disapointed after previous series
i really struggled with this book and couldnt in the end finnish it. the main character is intensley unlikable. not quite a mary sue but close. the narrator does a good job and many awkword situations. many other characters really dont act in line with just people. the peoples actions are forced to fit the story. not the people driving the story.
