Path of a Novice

Silvan Series, Book 1

By: R.K. Lander

Narrated by: Daniel Thomas May

A fearless warrior. An implacable traitor. The path toward a destiny only a god foresaw.

Fel'annár is a gifted immortal warrior embarking on his first patrol into the Deep Forest. Half-Silvan, half-Alpine, he battles the enemy from without, and the prejudice from within. But he learns more than just warfare when an arcane power begins to emerge, one he cannot control.

While friendships are forged, a destiny unfolds, one that is tied to a past he knows nothing about. For others, though, it is only a matter of time before the truth is revealed, and the danger becomes real.

If you love high fantasy worlds with compelling characters on a dangerous mission, you can't miss Path of a Novice, book one in the epic fantasy series The Silvan Saga.

Worth a listen

This is a good book. The plot is enthralling and the characters rich. It's a story that once picked up is not easily put down.
the one problem is that the author jumps point of view a little chaotically at times which can make certain scenes confusing.

really good

I really liked the book. the one thing I hade trubble with is the names .... the names are similar and long and many caricatures have 2 or 3 manes so you have to pay attention to understand who it talking to who

Great Book!

I had already read this book and love the series, listening to it I would say that there are a couple voices I dont particularly like. Amareth's voice sounds like a very old lady and being that elves are immortal I do not believe that she would sound like that considering what I surmise her age would be. That being said I feel that is how it always is when you have previously read a book before listening to it because you already have preconcieved how they will sound so this is still an amazing book to listen to and would highly reccomend it to everyone!

Good story, but below is a rant about characters names

I liked the story and narration was good, but by god the characters’ names in this book suck, it can get really confusing. The main characters are fine but I could not remember one side characters name.
(Spoilerish)
There is a part in the book some side characters die and it’s meant to be sad but i felt nothing cause I don’t even know who they were due to the confusing names.

very human fantasy.

thought the story and emotional back drop were excellent. I can't wait to read addition volumes.
