Brought together through the love of a woman, Aiden and Amaroq each learn that sometimes change comes amidst hardship, and the destiny of Eldon’s line can never be denied.

Action, Adventure, Love, and More!

The heirs of Eldon are about to have their worlds up ended through deception, lies, violence, and more. Brought together through the love of a woman, two men learn that sometimes change comes amidst hardship, and the destiny of Eldon’s line can never be denied.

The Followers of Eldon written by M. L. Hamilton is a gripping, heart-pounding adventure that checks every box for a truly memorable read. From the very first chapter, you're pulled into a richly imagined world filled with danger, mystery, and high stakes. The pacing is electric, the action intense, and yet it never loses sight of the characters at its core.

The cast is exceptionally well-developed—flawed, complex, and deeply human. Each one grows in meaningful ways, with some undergoing gut-wrenching changes of heart that feel earned and powerful. Their struggles—both external and emotional—make you care deeply about what happens to them.

Amid the chaos and violence, the story doesn’t shy away from emotional depth. There are moments of heartbreak, redemption, and quiet reflection that balance the intensity with real feeling. And just when you think the journey can’t surprise you anymore, love enters the picture—not as a side plot, but as a natural and moving culmination of everything these characters have endured.

Kelley Hazen as the narrator delivers a truly mesmerizing performance. Her delivery and cadence are spot-on—perfectly matched to the flow of the story and keeping you locked in from start to finish. She uses tone masterfully to immerse the audience, capturing the essence of each character and every situation with ease. You can feel that she’s fully invested in the storyline, which only draws you in deeper. It’s one of those narrations where you stop noticing the voice and just become part of the world—absolutely captivating.

If you’re looking for an adventure that delivers thrills, emotional resonance, and a satisfying arc of transformation and love, The Followers of Eldon is a must-listen.
