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.

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.
Great start to an epic fantasy!
