Summary

Garric - or Reise - was born the son of an innkeeper in Barca's Hamlet on the Isle of Haft, but through valor and determination became first a prince and then the Regent and successor to the feeble Valence III, King of the Isles.

But the Kingdom is weak, its rule barely extending past the island of Ornifal. The Isles need a strong king to bring unity, because danger is coming. Magic is stronger now than at any time since the fall of the Old Kingdom in a cataclysm of uncontrolled magic. Evil is growing in the spaces beyond the world, waiting to complete the destruction begun a millennium before.

Only if the Isles are united into a strong New Kingdom can humanity survive. Garric has sworn to become a true Lord of the Isles. Standing with him are his sister, Sharina; his friend and Sharina's lover, the shepherd Cashel; and Cashel's sister, the weaver-witch Ilsa. They have been to Hell and back together in their quest...to save humanity.

Entertaining Series

Although quite bloody in a way one of my favorite characters spoiler passed away there is a lot of violence so be careful it’s one of the series that you were able to read through the whole thing as it is included in Audible plus also believe even if it wasn’t I would’ve used a credit on it second time I listen to it and besides the violence it was quite good

A delightful listen!

The story is wonderful, and the narration exactly what was needed for the characterizations. I enjoyed it immensely!

Great overall story

If I had to critique, I'd say the scene transitioning needs work. It's a series you have to remain laser focused on or you'll miss major events or suddenly find yourself in a different scene, unsure how you got there. I ended up re-listening to several chapters to figure out how it went from here from there. With that said, the overall story is original and interesting. The character development is great. I'd love for Cashel and Ilna to have their own spin-off.

Tons of action! All over the place!

I love this story. I really do, and this helped me get to know all the characters even more and watching them grow in their new roles is freaking fantastic. Lots of fun trying to unravel the “patterns” so to speak. I’m still trying. Cashel is hilarious at one point, when you listen you’ll know what I’m talking about. I found myself laughing at how simple he is yet powerful and loyal to a fault. Anyway, I recommend this series and this installment is great.

all six

I started with the first one which was long-winded long really but it was enough to intriguing me to go to the second book what about the third book I was committed so this is the last one and it's pretty good I'll give it four stars all the way
