The Way of Edan

The Edan Trilogy, Book One

De: Philip Chase

Narrado por: Allen Walker

Holy war. Magic rooted in empathy and transcendence. Fantasy creatures as never seen before. The Kingdom of the Eternal will awaken when the Way of Edan holds sway over all of Eormenlond. So say the prophecies. With unrivalled power in the gift, the Supreme Priest Bledla leads Torrlond and its mighty army to convert rival kingdoms by the sword and by the fang.

Among the gathering resistance is the sorceress Sequara, whose mission is to protect her island and her Andumaic faith from the Torrlonders’ aggression.

As holy war looms over the kingdoms of Eormenlond, a chance encounter bestows a terrible curse upon a young man. Dayraven’s curse may decide Eormenlond’s fate. But first, with the help of unlikely friends, he must survive the shattering of his world.

Equal parts epic and lament, The Way of Edan is the lyrical opening of The Edan Trilogy.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In The Way of Edan, Philip Chase has written a highly accomplished first novel. The storytelling is top-notch. There's a gravitas in the writing that put me in mind of Tolkien, with definite shades of Katherine Kerr, along with John Gwynne. This is a novel born of love for the story." - Mark Lawrence (author of The Broken Empire Trilogy)

"What a wonderful read! Prose that is smooth and accessible, a world with a weight and a depth to it, and a gripping and emotional story. There's a lot to love here. Lovely to see the Anglo-Saxon influences that gave me a real sense of time and place, and the storytelling was done with a deft, assured hand." - John Gwynne (author of The Faithful and the Fallen)

"The Way of Edan encompasses an expanding war driven by voracious religious fanaticism. Young heroes emerge, bonded by loyalty, in an age of ripening prophecy. Traditional fantasy readers will find elves with a fresh spin expanding the familiar bounds of individuality, and women, old and young, who wield magic in positions of power." - Janny Wurts (author of The Wars of Light and Shadow)

Brilliant Narration

Great start to a classic feeling fantasy series. Enjoyed the writing quite a bit. The narration by Allen Walker though is phenomenal! I hope audiobooks for the rest of the series get released and Allen has opportunities to narrate more books.

Fantastic performance

Allen Walker did a phenomenal job on the narration here. An astounding amount of accents and voices. Knocked it out of the park for his debut performance.

Engaging Writing and Story with Fantastic Narration!

Definitely worth your time! Allen's narration combined with Philips writing will have you whisked away to Eormenlond!

Great listen!

Allen did a fantastic job bringing this story to life! He has truly mastered the spoken word in this riveting epic tale.

Allen does so well I honestly forgot it was him narrating.
