He longs to be a knight. A drastic invasion destroys his home. Will a childish dream be enough to save the ones he loves?

Eager to escape his suffocating life, Jahrys Grent trains daily to fulfill his dream of becoming a knight. But he gets more than he bargained for when mysterious invaders attack and destroy his home.

Fun listen that kept me involved

thoroughly enjoyed this book. characters seemed well fleshed out with decent personalities. At first, I thought it was going to be predictable and formulated, but it quickly slod off those rails to forge its own path.

Good narration helps keep the atmosphere.

While it does deal with death and combat etc, it is handled well, without over the top details, making it good for younger teenagers.

We are all Jahrys!

This was a wonderful novel. The world was well thought out and the characters were all uniquely relatable. The technology quite literally captivated me! I found myself longing to have a conversation, have some fine ales, and sing drunkenly at the Archelayne (sp?) with Jahrys and his band of friends! The songs were all catchy and had fun lyrics. There is something in this audiobook for everyone!

I enjoyed the story but found it confusing at best.Narration by Paul-Alexandre Petit was a very good narrator.
