Defender

The Sanctuary Series, Volume One

By: Robert J. Crane

Narrated by: Wayne Thompson

A rich, character-driven fantasy with Lord of the Rings-like adventure and the fraught political tension of Game of Thrones. Get ready to lose sleep.

**This series is complete**

Ten thousand years ago, the gods themselves forged weapons of war unmatched by any mortal steel. Most were lost to the mysteries of time. A few... not.

Now Arkaria teeters on destruction as these ancient god-weapons resurface, fueling a brutal race for power among villains and kings.

When Cyrus Davidon’s gold-hunting warriors stumble into a dragon’s den, disaster strikes, forcing an alliance with Vara, a razor-tongued elven paladin whose secrets make her as dangerous as she is captivating, and Vaste, a humorous troll whose magic fluctuates between salvation and chaos. Together they must brave the lands of Arkaria and find out who is pulling the strings before the guild of Sanctuary and Arkaria are destroyed.

From sprawling battlefields to shadowed courts, every move could tip the balance.

Dive into Defender, the first book of the Sanctuary Series, where epic battles, biting humor, and a cast you’ll never forget collide in a race against annihilation.

Dungeons and dragons kinda feel

I dunno if it’s the narrator’s voice or the dialogue of the characters but feel like it doesn’t work w the nature of the book. Even though it’s book 1, doesn’t feel like the beginning of a series; not a good thing. The plot, world building and characterization of characters are incomplete and sub par. It wasn’t bad especially for free on Plus, but wasn’t impressed. Won’t go for book 2

I enjoyed this story.
