About this listen

Wizardborn continues the story of the struggle of Gaborn, now the Earth King, who has lost his powers but continues to lead his people. He must contend with the threat of the huge, inhuman Reavers, whose myriads Gaborn and his forces must now pursue across the nation. It has become Gaborn's fate to follow, even into the depths.

Raj Ahten, the great warlord endowed with the strength and qualities of thousands of men, once the primary threat to Gaborn, now struggles to retain his own empire. His war of conquest thwarted, his very life is now threatened by the Reaver thousands.

And a young girl, Averan, who has eaten a Reaver and absorbed some of its memories, becomes a keystone in the search for the dark Reaver lair.

Critic reviews

“Farland once again proves himself a wizard at storytelling….This latest is certain to summon past readers of the series back to bookstores.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Colorful, inventive magics, vigorous plotting, and gore aplenty.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Farland’s massive and compelling saga, which began with The Runelords, continues at a breakneck pace….As in the earlier books, the danger and violence are larger than life, and many die. But any grimness is leavened by the strong theme of love and respect for the earth and its denizens.” (Booklist)

Damn, this series is absolutely epic. Reminds of the first time I read The Wheel of Time series, totally engaging, hooked from the first page, and the storytelling is so compelling.

Wizardborn is the third book in the RuneLords series, its fast-paced, ingenious magical concepts, and great characterisation. I love every book in this series so far, heroes, and heroen's who you will believe in to save humanity.

After the devastating battle at Carris against the Reaver horde and the loss of so many people, but this is only the beginning as the young Earth king Gaborn Val Orden finds that he has lost the powers that let him protect his people. He must travel to the underworld to battle the Reaver Lord.

The Earth wizard Binnesman has found himself a new apprentice in the girl Averan, who may be key to defeating these monsters, whose sole purpose is rid the world of their number one enemy humans. Sacrifices must be made if there is any chance for survival.

RuneLords has a very old fantasy feel to it, beautifully written, tons of action, and just one hell of an adventure, I highly recommend for all fantasy readers out there....🔥😁💀🗡

Fantastic series.

Like the second book in the series the third is s huge improvement over its predecessor. The first was poor, the second alright and this one was good. So, the next one should be great?

The hour count of the book is severely off though, I tend to listen to all books at a higher pace, usually 1.2-1.4. For this one I had to crank the speed up to 1.8 before it was to my liking, effectively cutting the length of the book almost in half. Great narrator at that speed, but I would never have been able to listen to this book at "normal" speed.

Getting better.

This book just chases it's own tail,when it starts to get going,the writer feels they must remind you of what you've just listen to,it's very patronising and frustrating,not even ray porter,(my favourite narrator) could save this book..

I just cant
