About this listen

A hooded man, his face marred by a mysterious black brand, walks the Plain of Savlos. Some say he has the power to summon demons. Others say he is the only one who can vanquish them. His name is Konrad, and he has a secret....

Once an ordinary soldier, his life was forever changed by a fateful meeting with a dying sorcerer. Now he is all that stands between civilization and the creeping evil of the shadow world.

Look I like the start it was great but once the court part was done it went down hill and there was a lack of character development and the ending wasn’t really that appealing mid story decent reader and a lot of missed potential

I'd been struggling to find an audiobook I enjoyed while waiting for a different release, and this hit the spot! Pretty original story and lore, and a nice blend of story and action, the narration was the cherry on top for me.

Good listen

This author is new to me, but I'm glad I came across this book, included with membership. I will most definitely be getting the rest in this series.
Narration is flawless,

A page turner for sure.

Picked this on a whim and ended up liking it a lot. The story feels as though it takes its time to setup the backstory without boring the reader and starts accelerating as it gets further on. After the book it feels as though a lot of things already happened in a relatively short 7 hour audiobook that sets the stage for the rest of the series.

Strong start to the series

In the first hour, the character makes a big judgment error (what we call a plot hole because the writer was too lazy to write something smart) and then proceeds with the most boring info dump of backstory in existence.

Why give away the author's worst book?

only 2 audible volumes avaliable. Good story but bait and switch by amazon with only 2 voumles recorded of the 5 in the series. annoying when all 5 volumes are in paper back and kindle

only 2 audible volumes available

It seemed like 70% of the book was just the MC's inner monolog and self-centered rambling, that did nothing to move the story along or at least entertain the reader. Side note (I know hardly anyone will notice or care about this but still): the author borrows a lotvof place names from the Hungarian language, and it would have been good if the narrator had at least tried not to pronounce them so very very randomly and wrong ;) Otherwise, the narration was solid, just the writing was not.

Sooo much rambling to say so little
