About this listen

For generations, nobles have gathered at a scenic estate once per year to compete. What transpires there is spoken of only in rumors, save for the prizes. Potent, powerful, and precious; the winners are said to receive a gift from magic itself.

Reeling after their loss to Kalzidar, the adventurers from Maplebark can only press forward, following advice imparted by the gods. Their divine directions will lead them on a series of twisting paths, branching between old friends and new challenges, before ultimately pointing at a particular estate on a specific evening.

Thrust from the familiar comfort of the wilds, the party will have to navigate the perils of noble society while keeping themselves in the competition. Between scheming nobles, a hidden high priest, dangerous challenges, and too many familiar faces, just making it out alive will be a challenge. But surviving alone won't be enough; not with a vengeful god scheming in the shadows, and a stolen soul waiting for rescue.

If the party wants their chance to strike back, they'll have to find a way to emerge victorious.

I'll preface this review with the fact that I'm yet to find a Drew Hayes book that I haven't enjoyed.

Noble Roots continues the streak with well paced adventure, continual character develop and an excellent narrator in Roger Wayne.

Possibly my favourite in the series so far.

Another great adventure.

Really great series and I’m massively looking forward to the next book. I thought the narration was good and the story hasn’t been lacklustre for me at all yet.

Brilliant series!

Why the hell Netflix hasn’t picked up this utter gem of a story I don’t know

This series kicks ass!

Get back on your laptop mr hayes and get us the next 3 pronto!

Awesome awesome awesome

I loved it. This series is one of my favourite fantasy series, and I've been waiting for the release from the moment I finished the last one (and now eagerly await the next book in a few years!)

The characters are well fleshed out, and it's great to see them developing, both in their abilities and in their personalities.

The overall story in this book was a good solid continuation. There were a lot of cool fights and discovery of new abilities, but I think my favourite bit was finding out more about the Novak family and about Eric's family.

Another smash hit!

Hayes has done it again. After what felt like a long wait (not Patrick Rothfuss long, just COVID long) Noble Roots comes along and makes every minute worthwhile. Some of the revelations in this one are jaw-dropping, and seeds of mysteries are sewn but not reaped (hehe), leaving us hanging on until book 6, whenever that may be.

Absolutely love this series.

Loved book 5 just like all the others

whats been done with these characters and story over the series is unapproachable success

I love this book and I love this series

I've really enjoyed these books and listened to them a few times now. Characters and story is rounding out well and I look forward to seeing where it goes!

Really enjoyable series

What a great journey! Again Hayes captivates with the adventures of these wayward npcs and the real world players! Another tale that i will be relistening to again.

another fantastic story!

I had hoped it would advance the story of the connection with the real world more, still seems quite distant

enjoyed the length

enjoyed a lot but

Love this series! Dont want it to ever end! I keep reccommending this series to anyone who would remotely be interested in this as I just want everyone to lose themselves into this world. It's everything any D&D fan would love

Can't get enough!
