Summary

2016 Ink and Insights Competition – Judges’ Favorite

2017 Readers' Favorite Award for Epic Fantasy

Second in the 2017 SPFBO

#1 Amazon Best Seller in Epic Fantasy  

Long ago, the world fell into twilight, when the great empires of old consumed each other in sorcerous cataclysms. In the south, the Star Towers fell, swallowed by the sea, while the black glaciers descended upon the northern holdfasts, entombing the cities of Min-Ceruth in ice and sorcery. Then from the ancient empire of Menekar, the paladins of Ama came, putting every surviving sorcerer to the sword and cleansing their taint from the land for the radiant glory of their lord. 

The pulse of magic slowed, fading like the heartbeat of a dying man. 

But after a thousand years, it has begun to quicken again. 

In a small fishing village, a boy with strange powers comes of age.... 

A young queen rises in the west, fanning the long-smoldering embers of magic into a blaze once more.... 

Something of great importance is stolen – or freed – from the mysterious Empire of Swords and Flowers....

And the immortals who survived the ancient cataclysms bestir themselves, casting about for why the world is suddenly changing.... 

The complete, award-winning epic series in one volume.

Diverting is the Raverling.

so, i found this a really difficult book to get into as a listener. more than any other book. I preserved, steadfastly believing there was a great tale to unfold. I was rewarded for my patients. Now I need to see if there are more books to follow but you will have to invest your time....It's worth the investment.

i enjoyed listening well worth a listen

loved the narration tho took me a we while to adjust to the husky grumble common voice of the narrator but once i adjusted i really enjoyed it. tho theres times the plot changes and you have to rewind thinking did i miss out on something. meaning theres times (only a few through out all 3 books) at the end of a scene it does not notify you that your on the next part. so i dont know if thats the writers fault or narrator. but all in all i give a solid 4. if there was a book 4 id deffo want to listen. it has no real big pizaz or that wow factor but it has a wide variety of great story wirh an epic magical world and things going on in it and enjoyed that the most common way the story is laid out and you think ahhh this is going to happen but it dosnt

A Ripping Good Yarn

Okay there are a few things that make you wince, like predictable tropes, occasionally dragging on too long, unusual pronunciation. However, I found myself enjoying this ‘old fashioned’ fantasy tale and you’ve got to agree that it’s terrific value for one credit.

My kind of story

Read and listen to a lot of fantasy and this is one of the best I've come across in a long long time. Great characters, great ideas and a few twists and turns along the way. I was left wanting more!

stick with it and you won't be disappointed

struggled to follow the start because your understanding develops with the characters but perseverance paid off. This is a truly epic story that keeps you hooked and does not disappoint

Unfamiliar But Recognisable Worlds

I added this to my list purely based on the synopsis and decent length without ever having heard of it, but am glad I did! It's a great story arc with depth and world-building, complex characters and emotion. Unfamiliar but recognisable. ❤

Ok

It was an OK listen, I struggled to get into it at the start, but managed to eventually. Not one off my top 10 but it entertained me enough not to return it.

Epic Fantasy - with all the tropes

I picked this up on a whim, and was very pleased to have done so. Its an epic fantasy tale, full of all the familiar fantasy tropes, however it is very well written (maybe overly so) so the very familiar themes and characters do not feel worn-out. The writing style is incredibly descriptive and full of world-building. The voice actor does a good job and seems to have a unique scots/arabic accent for characters from a certain region.

Overall I would recommend these books to any fantasy fans who dont mind a little of the familiar.

Excellent

at first I couldn't get into the series but I'm happy that I gave it a second chance.

The story and performance are well worth the purchase.
