The Warrior Prince of Berush

The Edge of the Sword Series

De: Amber Gabriel

Narrado por: Peter Kenyon

Darius is a seasoned soldier serving as general of his brother's army. Tensions between Berush and the neighboring countries of Artylia and Cerecia are high. War looms on the horizon. Renowned for his skill as a swordsman and leader in battle, Darius vows to protect his country and wreak vengeance on its enemies, but the toll is heavy. Violent dreams torment him at night, and a red haze of anger often clouds his judgment.

Concerned for his brother's well-being, King Cyrus sends Darius on a diplomatic assignment, but the warrior prince is not used to peaceful missions. He is used to getting his own way, usually at the point of a sword. Supporting his brother and keeping his people safe, whatever the cost, are his only priorities. Love is certainly not on his agenda, until he meets Lady Eemya - a beautiful, confident woman with a will to match his own.

Darius quickly realizes what he wants cannot be taken, it can only be given. Can he convince this genteel, Artylian landholder that he is more than the wild animal he seems? To do so, he must look deep into his own heart, confront the darkness he has allowed to fester there, and find that his worst enemy is himself. But will Darius be able to defeat what torments him and win Eemya’s heart at the same time?

9/10

I received a free copy of this audiobook, and this is my honest opinion. Darius is a powerful ruler who's presence seems to intimidate most. Known for his strong men and their victories in battle, you could say Darius is used to getting his way. His interest falls on to who's after the one person he can't control Lady Eemeya. They both share interest in keeping their countries safe and seek negotiation together. I enjoyed seeing their professional and personal relationship grow. I really liked Darius' character he started out very rugged, unpolished, reactionary. His character took a humbling journey through self development. I could definitely see his attitudes in people I know today. I think it's appropriate for young adults and more mature readers alike.

loved listening!

I read this story some time just after it first came out, but this is revised and I really enjoyed Peter Kenyon's reading it! Listening to The Warrior Prince of Berush as I drove to and from work was enjoyable!
