Extraordinary Hero

An Epic Fantasy

De: Marcus Sloss

Narrado por: Rowan Whitlock, Samantha Archuleta

The Accords were a lie, a peace designed to be a trap.

Carter Prichard wanted a steady revenue to start a home of his own in Tyris. A land where elves are numerous, forests contain diabolical danger, and humans are still the newer species.

While hunting deep in the untamed borderlands, he unearths a grave containing two artifacts of a forgotten apocalypse. One is a sword that hungers for magic, the other, a crossbow engineered to slay dragons.

Not long after, his discovery leads him to a terrifying truth while on a hunt. The elitist elves aren't abiding by the peace terms. No, not one bit. In fact, they’re enslaving humanity as livestock. After rescuing a woman, Carter draws a line in the mud that shatters the fragile peace of the kingdom and declares his own war.

With a militia of outcasts, a growing family, and weapons that terrify even the immortals, he stands against a tide of minotaurs, magic, and tyranny.

The elves thought they were culling the herd. They just woke up the wolf.

Absolutely superb

I have always felt like this author released books that were either hit or miss. This was a major hit. Home run, grand slam, probably the best book I’ve ever listened to from this author. If you want a strong protagonist with excellent well developed sub characters, this is the book. Action, intrigue, betrayal, romance, it is all here. The story is well crafted and leads you through the rise and development of the main character. He has grit and determination as he stands up for what he believes is right.
Probably the best book that I have listened to over the last six months.
In addition, the narration is flawless in every sense. I will put this narrator on my list of those I enjoy the most. Five stars throughout.
