About this listen

Raised and trained in seclusion at a secret fortress on the edge of the northern wilds of the Kingdom of Ashai, a young warrior called Rezkin is unexpectedly thrust into the outworld when a terrible battle destroys all that he knows. With no understanding of his life’s purpose and armed with masterful weapons mysteriously bestowed upon him by a dead king, Rezkin must travel across Ashai to find the one man who may hold the clues to his very existence.

Determined to adhere to his last orders, Rezkin extends his protection to an unlikely assortment of individuals he meets along the way, often leading to humorous and poignant incidents.

As if pursuing an elite warrior across a kingdom, figuring out who he is and why everyone he knows is dead, and attempting to find these so-called friends and protect them is not enough, strange things are happening in the kingdom. New dangers begin to arise that threaten not only Rezkin and his friends, but possibly everyone in Ashai.

This is the first installment of an ongoing series. This book is intended for adult readers. It contains graphic violence, creative language, and sexual innuendo. This book does not contain explicit sexual content.

What made the experience of listening to Free the Darkness the most enjoyable?

The main character is built up beautifully with a lovely mix of him being a Vulcan and Segulah. The story is really clever with his development in a complex story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Free the Darkness?

The interplay between the main character and as he builds his circle of 'friends' ;-), no point expanding as that would be a spoiler.

Which character – as performed by Nick Podehl – was your favourite?

Redskin, though Tam was pretty good as well

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

wasn't sure what was coming with this book, but reviews from some hardend fantasy fans for it persuaded me to give it a go and I'm happy I did! Story is good and makes you work to follow it. excellent listen with an excellent narration makes for a great all round experience. very much recommended.

The story is rather simply, but its simplicity makes it easier to follow. Rezkin is a god in basically everything but yet lacks general common sense due to his reclusive upbringing. Which makes his involvement with everyday people even more interesting. his constant switch between roles and titles which others have placed on in assumption makes every situation fascinating from their prospective of him. I started this audio book simply on a whim and can honestly say I'm a huge already. I've listened to other audio books narrated by Nick Podehl and found myself sometime struggling to discern between which characters are speaking, But his narration for book is in no way at all lacking and his Rezkin impression is the very image I'd imagine. Now I must wait a month for the credit to continue the story and Rezkin growth.

simply brilliant

one of the best stories I've listened to in years. I'm on book 3 now.

the story is totally engaging. I was completely submerged from the start and i am still.

the characters are so varied and each one complex and intriguing by their own right.

the story is an enthralling adventure.

I highly recommend this story.

I dropped on point from the performance for the occasional misplaced emphasis which is a very minor point.

Fantastic Story

I got this audiobook on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. It is a well written story, flowing from start to finish. The performance by the narrator was the most surprising (and best) thing about this audiobook. Nick Podehl supplied excellent voices for both the female and male characters and the many different accents were most expertly delivered. Straight on to the next book in this series.

Suprise Find!
