Resumen del Editor

Fantasy author David Dalglish continues his series of the half-orc brothers, whose struggles have released demon fire across the land of Dezrel.

After a bloody conflict with his brother, Qurrah Tun flees west with his lover, the strange and powerful Tessanna.

He seeks a powerful tome known as Darakken's spellbook, guarded by paladins and priests of light. Qurrah hopes to cure Tessanna's madness, but his newly returned master, Velixar, has far greater plans for the tome.

Only Harruq Tun and his friends can stand against the darkness his brother has unleashed. Velixar wants the throne and the secret that it hides, and to do so he will lay siege to the great city of Veldaren.

The gods' final war has begun, and the blood is on Harruq's hands.

Move over dungeons and dragons there’s a new world to contend with

I have to say; the author did go in some directions that I did not expect, which was enjoyable. He also does some hellacious world-building and character creation. It was like listening to a Dungeons and Dragons world, but better than lately. Because WOTC has just been cranking out piles of crap for the last 15 years or so, so it was a good thing that I found this novel.

The narration is on point, and the actor does the voice is quite well. I think this is an excellent third book n what feels like a much bigger world being built..

An Awesome Listen

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I found this novel addicting. At times I was angered by the author's choices in the direction of the plot, but I could not turn it off. I had to keep listening to see what was going to happen next. The main characters are a collection of interesting personalities, that swirl around the lives and choices of two brothers. The brothers have accepted their choices and the battle of between the light and the dark is on. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book. They are just the right length for a cross country road trip.

Another Diamond

What made the experience of listening to The Death of Promises the most enjoyable?

For me it was seeing the bad guys just about completely dominate the battle field that and the paladins.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Qurrah has come so far down the path of Karrak and along the the path of evil i love watching his power grow and the conflict that comes from destroying all you love for the chance of a peaceful life with the woman he loves.

Which character – as performed by C.J. McAllister – was your favorite?

Qurrah

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

yes,i was upset with some of the deaths in the book.

D & D style fantasy at its best

This is the third installment of the half orc brothers series. The authors fantasy works are reminiscent of RA Salvatore. The characters are as diverse and interesting the storylines are wonderful they span multiple books. The plots interesting the twists are shocking and surprising. The narrator does a spectacular job with a variety of voices and manages to convey all of the feelings of the author wishes to inspire. The series can be picked up with any book that I highly recommend starting from the beginning. Can't wait for the next installmentI was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Loved it!

I'm a big fan of the half orc brothers. My favorite character is Qurrah. He just keeps getting darker and more powerful. Even though his brother and him are on opposite sides of the war..he keeps reaching out to Harruq, hoping his brother will join him again. I love the relationship with between Qurrah and Tisana, I hope they will get to be together after the war! I'll just have to read more and find out. Thank you for such a fun and exciting story!

Dalglish Delivers!!

I've enjoyed every book that I've listened to so far. I'm definitely looking forward to collecting the physical copies. I respect the art of Voice acting but McAllister is the absolute worst in these books so far. I'm hoping hes taken some constructive criticism and improved his craft. other than that these books are amazing!!!! I was heart broken over Del.

Now things really kick off

This book is split into two parts. The first introduces characters that readers of Dalglish's works will recognize and builds up to the tensions of the first two books on the series. The second part is the meat of the story and sets into motion events in the later books.

Dalglish's quick pace continues and keeps you turning the pages. By the time the book ends, you will want the next book lined up so you can charge straight into it.

Great listen

What did you like best about this story?

I love the characters, they are very well developed and you can easily form an emotional connection even with the antagonists, they all have relatable, even likeable, elements.

Which scene was your favorite?

The battle for the city.

Any additional comments?

Adore this series! It has all of my favorite elements of a great fantasy series. The narrator is awesome as well and really brings the tale to life. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

love the series

third time reading this, first time on audible though. the series is brilliant. waiting for number 8 to come out still.

Not bad but Cloak series more entertaining.

I like finding out what happens after the Cloak series but feel like the main characters are just not that interesting. Good narrator story was more exciting.
