Summary
The adventure begins…
Torra Alta is under attack.
Threatened by a new ice age, the barbaric tribes of the vast Northern Trunda join forces under the bloody rule of warrior chief Morbak to form the Vaalakan army. As they set out to achieve dominion of the world, only the frontier castle of Torra Alta stands in their way.
For a thousand years Torra Alta has stood triumphant and unconquerable, perched on a pillar of rock where dragons once had their lair. As Baron Branwolf prepares his defences, ominous sounds emerge from the labyrinth of dragon-built tunnels beneath the castle. Against the baron's orders, his son, Caspar, accompanies the party despatched to seal off the tunnels. When Caspar discovers an ancient dragon’s hoard of treasure, the magical light of a moonstone proves too tempting and Caspar takes it.
But alas, it is no ordinary moonstone – it is the Druid’s Eye, and if it falls into the wrong hands, Morbak will be invincible. Only the long -abandoned Runes of War can save Torra Alta, and only Caspar with his newfound power, can find them …

An Enthralling Performance That Breathes New Life into a Standout Fantasy Series
I Have been a Huge Fan of the written forms of this series since I first read, and subsequently re-read it at least 10 more times over the years. The worldbuilding and characters stand out to me, giving a fresh take on a fantasy world, striking a perfect balance between heroic adventure and dipping into more dark themes, providing a complex and engaging world. I must give commendations to the narrator, Joe Eyre, who gives an entertaining and engaging performance that drew me straight back into the land of Belbidia. His performance is charismatic and captures the feel of the characters without being overly dramatized, allowing my imagination to fill in the images of the story without distraction. An Excellent start to the series in this format, and I cannot wait to listen to the rest!

Absolutely LOVE The Runes Of War!!
Have been waiting for a fantasy adventure story like this. It’s bursting with imagination - the world is so rich and full of lore, and a lovable trio at the centre. The narrator is absolutely incredible too. He really lifts it off the page and brings it to life - definitely found my favourite reader! Can’t wait for book 2
