Dark Tidings

The Darkborn Saga, Book 1

De: Ryan O'Neill

Narrado por: Ryan Haugen

Abandoned to the streets as a child, enslaved, trained as an assassin, and perhaps destined to become the "Darkborn" the very embodiment of evil itself.

Chael thought he had left all that behind when he fled from those who wanted to use him for their own schemes and machinations. He and his loyal companion, the undead wolf Michik, fled to the one place on the continent he thought his past wouldn't dare pursue them. But old ghosts have returned and demons once again stalk the Western Forest.

When unlikely messengers bring news of a friend long dead, Chael must choose whether to return to the world he left behind or turn his back on the humanity that hates him. No matter his choice, Darkness is enshrouding the world of men. Old masters, zealous cultists, raging demons, and other unspeakable evils all vie to control the power of the Darkborn.

Interesting characters

I am not a huge fan of books where the magic system seems to solve all the main characters problems, and this book suffered from that in my opinion. The main characters are interesting and easy to root for though, which made the story interesting.

one of the best books I've read

excellent book, starts out strong and keeps going, really looking forward to the next one!

Great new series

This was a great story. Amazing world building can't wait to see where it goes. And you can't go wrong with an undead wolf as a companion.

very entertaining.

very well written and very entertaining. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

A MUST read for any fantasy fan!

Dark Tidings is an awesome new series from Ryan O'Neill. I have been reading fantasy for years, my fav authors are Brandon Sanderson, Tolkien and Will Wight, if you're a fan of any of these authors then you owe it to yourself to buy this book. Dark Tidings mixes epic fantasy with action and adventure with enough action to keep you excited while mixing in classic fantasy elements. The characters are full of depth and surrounded by excellent world building. And who doesn't want an undead wolf companion?!? I met the author at Dragonsteel this past year, he is incredibly passionate about his writing and it feels so good to support him knowing what a nice person he is! I can't wait for book 2!

Super entertaining and engaging

I enjoyed this new book/series from a new author. The book quickly engages the reader and holds their attention through to the end, leaving them anxious for future books in the series. I really enjoyed the magic system and the development of key characters. The book is well written and very entertaining. I look forward to the next in the series.
