After an eon of dormancy, the hideous winged demon Dactyl awakens and calls forth an army of darkness to bring horror and devastation to the land of Corona. The only survivors of the ravaged village of Dundalis, young friends Elbryan Wyndon and Jilseponie Ault, are separated in the carnage and, unknown to each other, struggle through lives that will lead to a shared destiny. Avelyn Desbris, a pious young monk, also finds himself on a course that will intersect with the fates of Elbryan and Jilseponie and lead to a fateful confrontation with the monstrous dactyl.

The Demon Dactyl’s army is laying waste to the entire country and the only way to stop their organized takeover is to cut off the root of their army’s vast power: Bestesbulzibar, the Dactyl, himself. Elbryan, Pony, the Mad Monk Avelyn and Bradwarden the centaur, reunited with the elven Juraviel and Tuntun, set out to do battle inside the demon’s lair: Mount Aida.

I've always loved this series

I love the graphic audio version even better. you should check out their other stuff too, they're great

awesome story!!!

this has a little bit of everything. Every time the demon made his appearance he had my full attention. great performance!

fast paced

I don't know how I found this? It is a refreshing relief from all the new books preaching the woke religion. I need more like it. It ended too quickly for me... I can't think of anything to say that won't be a spoiler. good story teller. I like stories like damphir by Hendee. Anything Orson Scott card does. good luck.

Ho Ho WHAT!

Fantastic and original epic of good verse evil. Story was well crafted, characters were richly developed, and the performers were wonderful.

Thoroughly enjoyed this audio drama

after reading the book many years ago, and just recently getting into dramatizations, I was pleasantly surprised to see that RA Salvatore's work had been adapted to a audio drama. But after hearing such high quality productions as The Alien series, ect, I was a little skeptical that's such a long audio drama as this could be as good. Well, I was not disappointed. From the accents the actors used, to the sound effects and action sequences, this drama exceeded my expectations! Thank you Graphics audio. You guys did a stellar job! I highly recommend any fan of this series, or RA Salvatore's work in general to give this a listen.

Loved it

I love this series and I am glad Graphic Audio produced these books.
I need fifteen more words. You should buy this book. You should buy this book. You should buy this book.

Not his best

I will preface this by saying I'm a huge fan of R.A Salvatore. His drizzt novels are my absolute favorite. So coming from those to this series has probably created a bias in me. This book had me on the verge of wanting to stop.listening twice through the book. There was no real action going on. His character development which is usually superb was slow and prodding. I didn't really care about the characters until book 2. If you expect alot going on there isn't. Hanging on just enough to try book 2

I really tried to like it

I normally enjoy RAs work, but i couldn't get into this one. It could just be the dramatization but the store drones on and it's difficult to feel engaged in the story or the characters.

Gods will my ass

If you don't want a secret to get out then don't hire outside help. that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard; then you tried to hand wave explanation later.

Crude

I use to be a huge fan of R A Salvatore. This book was so crude I didn't even finish it
I won't waist my money on any of his books after this.
