Publisher's summary

The best-selling, award-winning author of Stiger's Tigers delivers the next action-packed installment in the Tales of the Seventh series. 

Where a Stiger goes, death follows.

Stiger has survived the brutal ordeal at Fort Covenant, which saw his company shattered and an enemy army destroyed. The campaign season has finally drawn to a close, and Stiger is looking forward to the relatively quiet months ahead as the snow falls across the land and his company regains its strength. 

Stiger is slowly being accepted into the legion. There are still some who seek to make him feel like an outcast. Can he ever prove himself, or will he bear the shame of dishonor to the end of his days? 

Unexpectedly, he finds himself summoned to see the general. Stiger is dispatched on a critical mission for the empire. He must travel to the island kingdom of Thresh to deliver a message and a large quantity of gold. Despite the mission’s importance, it seems like an easy job: a march through friendly territory well away from the enemy and a short journey by sea aboard an imperial warship. He brings only a handful of men, including an elven ranger and a paladin of the High Father. 

But before Stiger can even make it to Thresh, he stumbles upon a horrifying evil that has the potential to threaten everything, including the legion’s survival. Trapped and cut off from help, he must face this insidious darkness or die in the attempt.

Set amidst the backdrop of an epic war, there are greater forces at work than the young Stiger can begin to imagine, and he must confront them or all will be lost.

His path down the long road to destiny has begun.

A Dark Foretoken is set in the Chronicles of an Imperial Legionary universe.

Very enjoyable series!

Loved the narration and the story. I recommend this series for everyone that likes a little history and fantasy elements.

Same Thing

This is the same story over and over again with the same group. I expected more and think this is going to be it for me. I don't want to hear Stiger leaves, find evil kills evil in new town. I think this story has a lot to offer but its stuck in a loop.

Not worth the time

Basically the same plot as the previous book. The only difference is the scenery. I expected something different. The narrator was amazing

Once again

Steven Brand has brought this author's stories to life for me again and again. This time was no different. I really enjoy the interactions between the characters, and getting a glimpse into what made Stiger the legionary office he is in the Chronicles of an Imperial Legionary Officer.

Another good read!

Another good one from Marc, not a lot of wizardry or magic, but detailed stories of Legion life and some great battles!

Very Satisfying

A well written book with reasonably accurate military and historical refences.

Kudos for your use of mysticism. Your work stands on its own without it and is enhanced by your rare and unexpected use of such.

Can't wait for the next one.

Great Series with an Amazing performance.

I absolutely love the series and the voice actors performance is splendid. My only issue with this series is how short it is.

Continuing the Steiger Series and Doing it Well

A well-written and narrated book three in the adventures of a semi-Roman empire legionary officer. The setting is generally Roman during the expansion of the empire but is fictionalized to include a bit of magic, an elf, and a paladin in a fictionalized empire.

Perfect!

I love these Stiger stories and the narrator does an absolutely amazing job. So much fun.

Great book

Great book, a wonderful continuation from books 1 and 2. I can't wait to continue with the Stiger series.

more please

the thrill in reading Marc's books is that they truly are a series, one leads to next in a continuing evolving epic tale. from the first Karus saga each book is full of surprises, great characters both main and support, and the epilogue leaving you aching for the next, superb.
the choice of narrator too adds life, between them making you feel you are on the journey too.
