About this listen
An ancient evil. A treacherous king. A mystery going back to the fall of the gods.
In the heart of Vandar, as dark forces close in, Elyon, a gifted Bladeborn knight, fights for his family's survival in a world on the brink of war. In the beleaguered northlands of Tukor, a servant girl with a mysterious past is forced on the run by a treacherous lord, propelling her on a journey that will change her world forever. From the Shadowfort, an ancient power is unleashed, one that will set into motion a series of events that will bring the world to its knees.
With the world on the verge of chaos and countless lives at stake, a new First Blade must be selected, but obstacles stand in the way. Alliances are broken. Enemies are born. Only the strong will survive.
Follow this epic tale where the battle for land, power, and the divine gifts of the Fallen Gods will shape the fates of all.

Slow at first
It seemed a bit slow at first, as there are so many characters with stories, really enjoyed it and then it ended! Look forward to the next.

Couldn’t put down
Was not sure to begin with as the story was slow to start, but very soon I was completely hooked and could not stop listening. It is well narrated and I can’t wait to get into the next three books.

Has really good potential.
It's a slow start, hard to connect the dots on what's going on for a while but it reeled me in about chapter 3 or 5.
Will I'd listen it again, probably, that could affect the score. also btw it's 24 hours not 28hours a little bit off.

Good story and narration.
Good story and you need to be semi-focused to ensure you get the most out of the characters.

Gripping story
I really enjoyed this book. Well narrated, good characters that you could get behind and the story moved at an excellent pace. I’m looking forward to the next one in the series.

a bit long winded
decent enough storyline. very standard fare but some of it seemed a little unnecessary at times. but it was by no means awful. enjoyed it well enough and will try the next one. just sometimes wanting to write an epic and it turning out epic are two different things.

Detailed character arcs
Good book, well read. Takes a bit of time to get going and shape the story but by the end I’d already bought the next one

Great start to an epic fantasy!
This one has been sitting on my TBR for a while and I'm really glad I gave it a listen / read between kindle and audio.
This is a true high fantasy with multiple POVs and epic scope. The main characters are Saska, a servent girl who is soon on an adventure to find out more about herself and her connection to the world. Elyon, son of the first blade and second born in the family of a highly revered house. And Jonik (pronounced with a Y) an assassin on a deadly quest and facing a moral struggle with it.
Everything is extremely fantasy as you can tell already and the world is full of magic Blades infused with the souls of the Gods and war between the lands. It's truly epic scope makes for a rich world that, considering it's indie publishing status, could really have been hard to pull off.
I'm very happy to say Toby did an amazing job of keeping this connected to the characters and moving things at a steady but enjoyable pace between all of the main points of view, plus the odd extra character getting a chapter here and there.
While, on occasion there were parts that were a bit overly descriptive or repeated things already covered, it was an excellent first book and one I'm sure will get more polished as the series goes on.
I'll definitely be on the journey for it, with another 6 books out and more to be published, I'm going to be back for more with this one and highly recommend this for fans of traditional fantasy.
