Publisher's summary

Some are born to power. Others must find it within themselves. Ages ago, powerful beings known only as the Elders left their mark on the world, gifting powerful stones to their followers. Through these stones, some have been gifted by birth with great abilities, while others search for them as a way to access that power. Scattered around the known lands, wars have been fought for them, and won by them. On the outskirts of the city, living within an ancient stronghold, Haern longs for a life beyond what he knows—and away from the long shadow cast by his father. When an attack on the city renews a decades old battle, Haern volunteers to leave the city and find the one person who can lead their people to victory. His inexperience might kill him, but his instincts might be the reason they succeed. For Daniel, a member of the ruling family, life in the palace is easy and his path is clear. Eventually, he will rise up to sit on the council and lead the people of the city. An injury to someone he cares for changes everything for him, and he must go to the one person he despises most for help. If he fails, he’ll learn what it means to lose everything he cares about. Though born to power, Lucy longs for an understanding she can’t find in books. When a horrible attack leaves her forever changed, her quest for understanding leads her to those responsible—and a means of stopping them. All paths lead toward the Elder Stones, for the one who controls the stones controls power. Filled with action and adventure, The Darkest Revenge is perfect for fans of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time, Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn, or Jeff Wheeler’s Muirwood.

Difficult to listen to without frustration.

Very poor sentence stress, word stress, rhythm, cadence, and occasionally pronunciation. Virtual voices need more training.
“WHAT are you doing?”, verses “What are YOU doing?” The poor emphasis and stress created a lot of confusion - not only in determining who was speaking but also what the intended message was. It also produced a monotonous pattern that was boring.

Some weird pronunciation too. Wind (moving air) blowing, and Wind (crank) blowing, are not interchangeable.

Maybe if it was proof-listened the story could have been salvaged.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
