Welcome listener to a story in the tradition of the very best of British dark fantasy.
Echoes of a Storm is the first installment in the Storm Series and sets the scene and tone for this powerful bittersweet trilogy.
This dark, gritty, fantasy novel explores many themes such as, relationships, forbidden love, loss, power, prejudice and ultimately, the monster which lurks inside us all.
As you delve further into the story, secrets will be revealed, battles will be fought, lives will be brutally cut short or changed forever, and the deviant and the Werewolf will make themselves known.
So, listener, are you ready to enter the world of Talocants and discover the stories and secrets it holds?
It is only step away.
©2014 Alan Scott (P)2017 Alan ScottThis story can go to some dark places, but it's dark fantasy so that's to be expected. It's deftly handled and the story does have some lighter moments to break up the tension.
Very enjoyable!

My favourite thing about it was the different take on werewolves. Usually portrayed as mindless brutes, self-pitying outcasts or sexy beasts, in Echoes of a Storm, the werewolf is a man who owns his monstrosity. He’s competent and unapologetic. In any other story he would probably be the villain, but in this one he barely stands a chance against the real villain, a creature so cunning and despicable you’ll just love to hate.
I think I’d enjoyed this book a lot more had I been reading it, though. I found the narration quite difficult to follow at the beginning. The long pauses and lapses in editing kept pulling me out of the narrative. That being said, the narration improved considerably towards the end and Echoes of a Storm is far from tedious. The constant PoV changes and references to past events worked pretty well and forced me to keep paying attention in order to put the pieces together. Still, to say the end was unexpected is an understatement, but I can’t say much more than that without spoilers, you’ll just have to read it to find out why.
Not for the fainthearted.

Enjoyable story and a good set up for the series.

I read faster than I listen so the only downside is how long a commitment you require.
The story is dark and weaves a complex political web of dealings, back stabbing sand magic.
Really enjoyed.
Great adult themed fantasy
