Resumen del Editor

The Mercenary Code has been broken, and a new Protectorate Empire has arisen.

In league with renegade mages known as the Fallen, the Protectorate will stop at nothing to expand its reach and unify the factions of Old Caledun by any means necessary. The few who escaped the coup are now in a tenuous struggle against the growing influence of this corrupt new Order.

Mercenary companies loyal to the old ways race to defend one of the last bastions of freedom in the South. In the capable hands of its ardent commander, one city prepares for the decisive battle that will shape the future of Kal Maran. New allies have joined the cause, but can they turn the tide?

In the depths of an ancient subterranean library, two unlikely companions continue to explore the mysteries of a long-vanished race. While in the distant Drayen Lands, a foreign noblewoman is thrust to the fore in the midst of an enemy invasion by sea.

And in the North, hope has been rekindled. Surviving the trials of the Wilds and reaching the lands of the Iron Shield, the An'Dari - legendary protector of Kings - has returned. Searching for Caledun’s true heir, his memories hold the key to absolving the sins of the past.

Interminal battles

Have made it through the first two books of this series and have to say that, for military buffs, this series must be great. However, I am not a military buff and found the excruciating detail of the non-stop battles to be so much filler. Since well over half of both books consists of such filler, I’ll have to pass on any forthcoming volumes.

If you love excitement and danger get this!

super story! very complex but also very organized... a must read for all fantasy fans!

Starting get good

Great story line if you have the patience…. Definitely downloading the next one. In it till the end.

Another Great Book!

This was a great read. Edge of your seat moments, seeing up a hopefully fulfilling conclusion. I'm off now to read book 3.

Beyond Outstanding

There were times when the detail was a little thick (for my mind) and the parade of battles became a bit tedious and exhausting (like battles are). It would have been better to seed in more upbeat, inspirational, and especially humorous scenes as rests/relief. BUT, I am completely amazed at the mind of the writer and the skills of the narrator. This puts many of the best to the test. I have listened to hundreds of hours of audio in my travels and this is in the top five.

world building is epic

the story features great depths of world building and character development. narration is perfect match. well done.

MGM

Stumbled upon this one ... glad i did, it's a good listen, captivating and the narrator keeps you engaged. I'm a new fan now.

Good! I want to know what happens!!

This is a good book. I very much enjoyed it. Well written and performed. I don’t want to wait to read the next one.

Good story confusing at times.

So many similar names and things happening, it gets very confusing switching between scenarios. You need to pay attention.

Good read that kind of just ends

The read is smooth and enjoyable, but the end is nonexistent. I don't expect every single thread to be sewn tight, but there needs to be a more established end to the specific events of the book. almost every single story line just stops. see you next book? that's not a good way to transition, imo.
