About this listen

The are few forces more powerful than the Will of a fully trained Warden, but those who endeavor to become Wardens must first escape the crucible fires of Black Mark Academy. Very few who enter will leave as Wardens, and many will never leave at all.

Lillin ends up at Black Mark Academy not as a willing volunteer, but as forced penance for a past wrong. She soon discovers that the training involved in becoming a Warden is more nightmarish than she could have imagined. With her face marked permanently for her past crimes, she has to either survive the Warden's cruel training program or die in the process. She must discover the determination within herself to move forward and kindle the flames of the eternal fire, the Warden's Will.

Warden's Will is the first novel in a new series by Heath Pfaff, author of the Chaos Awakens trilogy, and The Hungering Saga. He has had multiple books appear in Amazon's top ten fantasy rankings and is well known for his dark and sometimes horrific fantasy stories.

Many books have focused on a protagonist's journey through a unique school or academy, this one tends more towards the cruel end of the spectrum with it's portrayal of an order that employs a harsh training regime on their potential recruits with a rate of attrition that includes a large numbers of deaths and not simply people leaving the training.

The book does a good job of showing the development of the main character from a fairly selfish and unlikable person into a competent and determined young woman who faces the horrors she faces and comes through them all the stronger.

The narrator does a generally good job of enhancing the book with her performance with a distinctive range of tones for the various characters, but at normal speed the pace of the narration felt a little bit slow for my liking.

Overall, an interesting first book in the series that potentially set a good foundation for the rest of the series.
