Child of the Flames

A Sword and Sorcery Saga

By: D.W. Hawkins

Narrated by: Malk Williams

The Red Swords came with the sunrise and took everything Shawna Llewan held dear. Her family massacred, her home destroyed, she escapes with nothing but her mother’s heirloom and the desire for vengeance. When she’s found by Dormael, a Warlock of the Conclave, she learns that her mother’s keepsake — the very reason her family was killed — holds the power to unleash boundless destruction.

Dormael and Shawna must flee for their lives before a vengeful enemy and guard against the deadly secret it seeks to unearth. Some secrets are best left buried, and vengeance must be pulled from the fists of the gods. With danger closing in around them, Shawna and Dormael are left with little choice. Will they escape, or will they drown beneath a tide of blood?

The action, story, and play

It was an enjoyable listen. Lots of action, just the right amount of comedy to break the tension. Some original world building too.

Great start!

This book starts out by dropping the reader into an intense and bloody scene, promising everything you'd expect in a grimdark series. The rest of the book eases up (mostly) but still offers plenty of action, magic, and witty banter wrapped around the group's protection of a rescued child and a mysterious artifact. Good and evil characters are all well fleshed-out. and the fight scenes sufficiently graphic. This is my first book featuring Malk Williams, and his narration is absolutely top-notch. I will definitely pick up the rest of the series.

Am-ulet vs Ome-lette

One could be a magical medallion. The other is made with eggs. Story would be better if a magical breakfast item wasn’t the key to the plot.

Not Bad

it started with red but went to a little girl foe np reason. didn't make sence.

Awesome!!!

Should be a movie.
What an epic, great audio.5*
