About this listen

Can a weapon forged in the darkness ever truly represent the light?

On the fringe of a war-ravaged Delnorian Empire, a mysterious sect harbours an unbelievable secret: an ancient prophecy foretelling the return of a legendary king who will usher in a golden age for humankind.

Amidst the chaos, Malina, a rebellious slave, is unwittingly thrust into the heart of destiny when she's sold at auction and taken to the Mountain of Souls—a dark, mystical place where her future becomes irrevocably entwined with the prophecy.

For if she can survive the deadly training that awaits, she’ll attain sufficient skills, knowledge, and power to join The Chosen, a fearsome cohort assigned to overcome the malevolent forces standing in the way of the king’s ascension.

Failure means certain death and even success will come at a terrible cost: a conscience stained by blood, deceit, betrayal and the sacrifice of her very soul.

But is it a price she’s willing to pay?

Listen, and you'll discover more than just Malina's tale … but the revelation of an astonishing plan spanning millennia, in which myths of the past influence the present to determine the future.

really good story but bit long for me

it's a very interesting story I enjoyed it. Listening to it in segments was best. The opening chapter will grab you even though it's a little gruesome, fair bit of death, and it shows the story of Melaina and comrade's become chosen, it does the usual eb and flow of fantasy one minute action then lulls and picks up again, it's not my usual type of listening but the narrator was good, just the style was something I'm not used to and when Melaina described something she loved her reflection in her voice got a little bit to cutsie for me, but over not bad looking forward to the development of the story and what this once and future king "Hogarth" is about. we shall see.

Distracting sound effects, and crackling noise in one chapter

Narrator was mostly good, but although I liked the sample it took me a good while getting used to her reading style.

Dire

Absolutely dire, little to no story line repetitive gratuitous violence. Weak characters with no likeable or relatable traits who didn't develop throughout the book. Terrible over dramatic, breathy narration. Persevered because I don't like to give up and hoped it would improve but was glad/relieved when it was over, needless to say I won't be wasting any more time or credits on the rest of the series. If I could give minus stars I would.
