Summary

The chaotic confines of the hospital kept Creed occupied, even as he felt something change within. The embattled physician's dreams were more frequent, and oddities were becoming the norm in an otherwise pedestrian existence.

Following a tumultuous turn of events, Creed awakens in another world, one which he slowly remembers to be his home, as the past and present collide.

Mürindür has been waiting, and within moments of arriving, he is rescued by his hobgoblin friend Ojin, as they embark on a perilous journey to protect Creed's bride and their unborn son, a child of prophecy and purpose.

The world of magical beasts and beings, has been broken under Lord Leterum's cruel conquests and his insatiable army of Caedere. Through the help of his long-lost Luxatio friends, Creed discovers his destiny on the path to restoring order and balance as the Child of Mürindür's time draws nigh.

Fun/well written story with a great narrator.

I have really really enjoyed listening to this book before bed the past few nights. The story itself is well written, whilst the narrator's voice acts as a soothing pilot to the narrative - his tone securely yet emotionally guiding the listener through the author's journey. Would definitely recommend .

Great storytelling voice and interesting book

I am not usually a big fan of fantasy literature but the story kept my interest and I cared about the characters.
Cameron narrated well , his different characters were distinctive and consistent and made them believable.

A Great Story, With a Fantastic Performance

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and found that the narrator was engaging, but the real stand-out part of Scriven's performance is his ability to inhabit so many different characters, with such a variety of distinct voices. Humfress also provided a great performance. I would highly recommend this audiobook.

A fun story brought alive by brilliant narration

Listening to this on my commute the last few weeks has been a joy. The narrators make all the characters vibrant and distinct, keeping you engaged with the story.

Highly recommended

Not the best performance

This is a good story but, with all the best will in the world, the performance falls flat. It feels as though an awful lot of effort went into the diction and less into expression. There are times, particularly when events quickens when it gets better and I've stuck with it but it's still disappointing. It could have been so much better.

I note, incidentally, that there is only one performers listed when in fact, the book is narrated by Cameron Scriven (male) and an unlisted woman.
