Forsworn

The Forsworn Oath, Book 1

De: David Estes

Narrado por: Tim Gerard Reynolds

Do not fear the shadows, but what lives inside them.

When Ludo Vica was only eight years old, he lost his twin brother and his eye when a horrific fire turned his village to ash. The last thing he remembers is a dark figure, wreathed in flames, stalking toward his childhood home. His brother, Gado, was still inside. Then came the explosion, the burning pain where his eye should've been, followed by blessed oblivion.

The man deemed responsible for it all was Cainan, a dark sorcerer known as the Fire Eater, who was brought to justice and imprisoned in the legendary fortress known as Comman Dur. In the two decades that have passed since that fateful night, Ludo's every waking moment has been focused on the only thing he has left to live for: revenge. So when the Fire Eater escapes, Ludo is determined to hunt him down and avenge his brother's death, a path that leads him into the shadows and mysteries of Lostwood.

What awaits him in the shadows will change everything.

Fans of A Game of Thrones, The Stormlight Archives, The Kingfall Histories, and The Fatemarked Epic will enjoy The Forsworn Oath.

reader is awaesome.

the chapters jump around in time lines, 20 years h4, 78 years in future, it is hard to keep the storyline straight.

Fantastic

This is a great story. The writing is great strong characters and character building. Great banter, original magic system. TGR brings this story to life.

I love epic story

I love how it continues from another audio book by the same author and I really like this narrator. I love introduction it pulled me in.

Very good story telling.

My favorite book before this one was Dune. I rille like the depth of the book. How the caricatures were developed. Just told you enough at the end to clear most stuff up. But still left enough untold to leave a cliffhanger so you would want more. Rille in joyed it. I can’t wait for the next book.

David Estes strikes again! Trapping me happily into another of his amazing worlds!

David has a way of making characters feel like new friends. he manages to world build without ever making me board. an excellent book. I cant wait for the next.

Captivating

Each characters story is as captivating as the others. The way they come together is seamless and integral. I can’t wait to listen to the next one when it becomes available.

Slow start but sooo worth it

Unique magic system, interesting characters, and a story line that keeps you guessing! The epilogue threw me more than anything else so don’t skip it 🤣

ending epiphany

This book had me right off. Well paced and engaging, it had me hooked from the beginning. Unfortunately, I had a hard time following in some places. As soon as I stopped looking for an explanation of events and just relaxed and went with it, everything went smoothly. I'm glad I didn't give up because I did eventually get some clarity. Its a great and intriguing story. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.

As excellent as David Estes's other books.

It takes place in the same world of Fatemarked and Kingfall, after the events there. There are some mentions of characters from Kingfall but doesn't go into details about them.

captivating

Wishing the rest of the books were available! hope to purchase them assp. listening to book one again!
