Summary
An ill-prepared queen, a soft-hearted mercenary, and a crippled warrior struggle as a kingdom falls and an empire rises. For years, the High Mages of Cadonia have maintained an uneasy peace among the nobles disgruntled with the rule of the king. In the aftermath of a tragic event, Elyse, the king's daughter, is thrust into a role she is not ready for. As queen, she must now determine who to trust while struggling to keep the kingdom from collapsing around her. The Hell Patrol, a legendary mercenary outfit commanded by Jonrell, finds itself disenfranchised with their current employer. Recalling a promise he made over a decade ago, Jonrell breaks his contract in order to right the wrongs of his past.
On the continent of Hesh, the Blue Island Clan has long been ignored by its neighbors. Tobin, a warrior and son of the Clan's ruler, struggles as an outcast as he watches his brother Kaz lead his father's army to glory. Emboldened by a new friendship with a mysterious shaman, Tobin finds himself gaining the respect he always wanted.
An epic fantasy tale, Rise and Fall is the first book in the Blood and Tears Trilogy.

Story is good, but the narration is…
Just not for me. I’ve got this book for free, and in return I would leave a honest review…
Story is great, at least the couple of hours I managed to listen to it, because the narration was just not my cup of tea. I couldn’t finish the book because of it. Maybe I’ll buy the paperback in the future..

Good story but.
I received a free copy of this book and I'm leaving an honest and voluntary review.
Firstly the narration for me has ruined this book. I just couldn't get on with it.
I only managed 5 hours.
The story seemed really good.

weak tale, poorly read
it was worth a try, but I had to give up. so many clichés, tired tropes of the genre. just about adequate style and world building, but the reading is awful. does no one edit these books? a Calvary charge on a spurned horse is hilarious! not good enough

Exciting! I need more.
A very exciting turn of events. Following several characters spread out over space and time. I must learn more, especially since this ending was quite a cliffie!
The narration was good and it was easy keeping up.
