Publisher's summary

When creatures that lurk in the dark dare to venture out into the world, lives are changed forever.

Conrad lives a quiet rural life with his parents in the Northlands. During one fated night, his world is turned on its head, as nightmares become reality. While his Northlands blood cries out for revenge, Conrad’s head tells him surviving is the best he can do.

Rescued by a motley band of mercenaries, Conrad embarks on a life he could barely have imagined. As new challenges, friends, and enemies present themselves, Conrad knows that one day he will have to face the evil that so altered his life, and when that day comes, he must be ready.

Well Done.

Took a flier on this book and in glad a did. Pacing is good. The author doesnt overwhelm you with 35 different characters in the beginning which I appreciated.

Yet another excellent story from Mr. Hamilton

I loved this story as well. It took a little while to get used to Mr Lee's narration, since Mr Vance has narrated all the other books, but he still gave an admirable performance.

Fully listened to it.

I liked the book the characters were neither too smart or too stupid. They acted like how people normally would. World building was nicely paced. overall the story is nothing groundbreaking but the series is off to a decent start with a good balance of questions and focus on a goal.

the narrator was good and production had no obvious problems.

overall I would listen to it again when the series is finished but likely not before that.

Veery good plot line

Well thought out book and has a very good plot line. I enjoy character development more in books with action and this one moves pretty fast. No boring parts to have to force yourself to listen through. I would recommend this book and looking forward to the second book in the series.

Lovely writing

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would, this isn’t my usual genre. However, I’m glad I tried something new, with the exception of one thing. I wanted so badly for young Conrad to mature a bit and think for himself. The only thinking thing he did, in my opinion was his attempt at getting even with his adversary Mumford.

The book sailed by giving you a small taste of swashbucklers and the queens wishes to rid her kingdom of evil.
