Resumen del Editor

The sky is falling. The world trembles beneath it. Emaneska is crying out for a saviour. Somebody is hunting down the Written mages in the wilds. Murdering and skinning them alive. Who? A mere girl. A girl who was born to rip the stars from the sky and bring them crashing down to earth. The direst enemy Emaneska has ever faced.

In the wake of the Battle of Krauslung, the world has changed. For the darker. For the stranger. Magic swells like a storm, spilling from the stunned lips of farmboys and milkmaids, burning spell books to cinders at the lightest of touches.

As Krauslung unknowingly balances on a knife-edge, tension mounts. Insidious whispers have begun to spread, drawing new enemies to the surface. Discontent, fear, betrayal...it seems that the girl is not the only enemy Emaneska faces.

Who can stand in their way? Will it be a pair of struggling Arkmages, one blind, one Written? An Albion maid, on the cusp of her wedding day? Three shadows of gods? Or will it be a ghost, a bloody rumour, lost in a dark world of murder and bitter memories? One question above all lingers on their lips: where in Emaneska is Farden?

Dead Stars - Part One is the third book in Ben Galley's epic Emaneska Series, and the first book of its brutal two-part finale.

Farden may be my new favorite antihero

Some early reviews may have suggested that the books or the writing or the story is simply rehashing the same old fantasy tropes… I dare anyone to read through this entire series and maintain that claim.

I LOVE these stories and these characters and each book draws them closer to my heart regardless if they are like able or not. I am attached emotionally.

The world of Emaneska would make for SUCH a great DnD campaign I can’t wait to read the Scalussen series.

I love a complicated protagonist

And very well written side characters. When I first started this series I was reticent because it drew on Norse figures. But the story, plots, characters all stand on their own. They aren’t overshadowed in any way by the retellings of Ragnarok I’ve personally gotten very tired of reading. This series is worth a listen if you like epic fantasy. I am so very happy I stumbled onto it.

High 5 & a Fist Bump!

I struggle not to get distracted and/or lost in this choreographed chaos that works so well. the story has vampires, lichens, dragons and their writers and of course Magic it's awesome and I have been consuming this story like crazy

Ben Galley does it again!

This entire series has been amazing! The characters are well rounded and the world building is extensive. Everything that Ben writes is so well done and interesting! I am headed straight to buy part 2 and start it now! Don’t sleep on this series!

The nine

I really like these characters but the author nerfs them. Made me crawl in my skin because the lack of communication between them. Ready for the next book.

Slow start, but keeps you listening

This series has been a surprising and enjoyable find for me. As soon as I finish one I find myself racing to download the next one. I’ve grown very attached to these characters and I’m excited to see how Ben Galley wraps it up!

It was fine

It was a fine story, but never got to the point of making me want to find time so I could keep listening.
