Resumen del Editor

A broken warrior searching for redemption. A criminal who haunts the darkest shadows. A rising darkness that threatens to consume them both....

A born warrior, Talyn Dynan was the finest fighter of her generation. But after a combat mission goes tragically wrong, she is left broken and wracked with guilt. Sent on a dangerous assignment to the mysterious kingdom of Mithranar, she must contend with the ruthless political games of the royal court while secretly hunting a criminal who is key to a much greater mystery. A single mistake could mean her death.

The Shadowhawk thrives in the darkest of nights. Desperate to help the oppressed human folk of Mithranar, he haunts the streets, stealing from those who have the most. The arrival of a foreign warrior brings him closer than ever before to being unmasked and executed. But is she truly his enemy, or an unwitting pawn in a game being played by the powerful ruling Acondor family?

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to either, a murderous foe stalks the dark corners of Mithranar. One that answers to a single purpose....

Vengeance.

Decent Story but Slow Narration

The story was interesting enough to keep listening to the series, but took a while to get interesting. This book was mostly world building. The narrator reads suuuuper slowly, and I had to speed up the audio to get to a normal pace. She does fine once the speed is at 1.2.

Looking forward to the next book

This book was very good for those who like epic fantasy with a strong heroine. The narrator was excellent as well.

My only negative is that something about pace of the story and world building felt a little off. I can’t put my finger on anything specific, maybe I’m just used to a different writing style (Sarah j maas, Ilona andrews, Lindsay buroker). By the end of this book I was captivated and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Torn

There were a lot of parts I liked about the book but also some I really found annoying. Basically this book is Ted lasso with a female and no humor. It’s a lot of team building/training montage that dragged for me. And the female lead was annoying at times. But the ending was great and I’ll definitely listen to the next one

Rising above what is, sowing seeds of what could be

An intriguing tale with a complex array of mysteries carefully unspooling. A cast of characters, each with their own skills and challenges, developing bonds of loyalty, dedication and appreciation among unlikely partners and a narration that pulls the listener into their world. I’ve already purchased the next two books, eager to know what happens next ❤️

I LOVE this series!!

I've been reading this series on my Kindle and have loved every book! So much so that I'm reading the 4th and last book and listening to the first one! I figure by the time I'm done reading, the audiobook will have caught up to the end! Great characters, love the story! Highly recommend!

Entire Series is fantastic! well spent credits

Finished all 4 books in series and loved them all, each had necessary storyline w no filler. Hard to find a fantasy series that isn't full of YA shallowness or one w a strong smart female lead. She has lived some life and has wounds to heal. The story keeps you guessing and surprises are had, and I enjoyed devouring every line. Narration is top notch as well, they all have distinct voices.

Why aren't these more well known?

This is a great epic fantasy! Lots of plot twists had me jumping into the next book!
