Journey of a Betrayed Hero Publisher's Pack

Books 1 and 2

By: Brandon Varnell

Narrated by: Renée Nolen, Alfie Syme

The hero’s journey doesn’t always end after the Dark Lord has been slain.

After being betrayed by the very kingdom he saved, Jacob Stone forsook his title of Hero. Now he lives the simple life of a barkeep. Yet even that life is irrevocably erased when a young woman named Enyo appears before him.

She claims to be the daughter of the former Dark Lord and has come seeking his aid. He’d normally never consider lending her a hand, but when she tells him that she knows of a way for him to return home, he’s left with little recourse.

His journey will take him across the kingdom of Terrasole, toward the place where it all began. If he succeeds, he’ll return to the home he’d been stolen from. If he fails… well, he won’t live long enough to regret failing.

greatness

this title has elements that relate to esthetics of a rogue hero anime so any fan of that will greatly enjoy this. with that pleasant surprise it made a couple work days go by with great enjoyment.

This was enjoyable!

Great protagonists, great ending. Performance could have been better, but for the most part it was passable.

this definitely is worth 10 stars

the voice actors are super good and the story is well written it is definitely one of the best things you can listen to on this platform

This is a story about how not to commit to anything

Okay. I liked the beginning of the story. I had a good premise Get.
Key go home somehow they drag that out for almost 20 hours when it could have taken them barely a week. So like 4 hours of book time.
It's not like there were story things stopping They just kept getting sidetracked by random things.

A great duology

I love the fact that these two books are a complete story. While I love long book series, sometimes you want an actual end. Brandon Varnell does an excellent job building this world, creating awesome and heinous characters, and telling a compelling story without compressing the story too much. It's just long enough to have heft, without going so long you get bored.

I think most people who enjoy high fantasy, isekai, and romance will like this book. There's no explicit scenes, but there is adult language and situations, so I'd recommend 14+ here.
