Cold Iron

By: Miles Cameron

Narrated by: Mark Meadows

A young mage-in-training takes up the sword and is unwittingly pulled into a violent political upheaval, in the first book of this epic fantasy trilogy by Miles Cameron, author of The Red Knight.

Aranthur is a promising young mage. But the world is not safe and after a confrontation leaves him no choice but to display his skill with a blade, Aranthur is instructed to train under a renowned Master of Swords.

During his intensive training he begins to question the bloody life he's chosen. And while studying under the Master, he finds himself thrown into the middle of a political revolt that will impact everyone he's come to know.

To protect his friends, Arnathur will be forced to decide if he can truly follow the Master of Swords into a life of violence and cold-hearted commitment to the blade.

good story and pace

fun adventure and plot development. thank God not another video game story. action keeps rolling

Love the immersion

On problem : I'm sure the paper version has a glossary of fencing terms if this had such a download and setting primer it would have made it easier.

Excellent Story

I enjoyed the book. I had trouble in some areas because of the development of the Story but stick with it, well worth the read.

Miles Cameron does it again

Loved the story, characters and narration. I cannot wait for the 2nd one.
Anyone looking for action, intrigue and charters with depth will love this book.
Mark Meadows was amazing. It was the first audiobook narrated by him that I've listened too. I will look for others.
