Publisher's summary

The mysterious, indomitable warrior? Ruthless criminal overlord? The Riel'gesh - mythical demigod? Dedicated friend and protector?

Equipped with skills far beyond those of the outworlders, Rezkin has been suddenly thrust into a foreign world. The young warrior clings to his only known purpose as he continues his search for any information about his identity and the reason for his existence.

While the hardened warrior scorns both dueling and tournaments, he believes some of the answers he seeks may be found at the King's Tournament, the greatest dueling championship in all of the kingdoms. As he searches for the elusive Striker Farson, who may be the only person alive who holds the clues, the young warrior and his friends embark on a journey fraught with danger, mystery, and intrigue.

Amid fears of the kingdom's economic collapse, rumors of an eminent military draft, and the machinations of a mad, tyrannical king, a new revelation threatens to upend all the warrior's plans.

This book is intended for adult listeners. It contains graphic violence, creative language, and sexual innuendo. This book does not contain explicit sexual content.

hurry up with book 3

Great introduction of new characters. Looking forward to the future development. Is Rez going to be king of more than one land? Will his friends reject him? This has a great ending and a great cliffhanger as well.

The second half of the first book...

This book was the second half of what the first book should have been. The story was more developed...like the second half of a book should have done. It ends on a cliffhanger, but feels complete at least. Nick Podehl's performance was amazing and I will be looking forward to book 3. Hopefully we're not getting book 3 part 1.

Good story, great story.

Really enjoyed the story however the author has this habit of adding on to a sentence almost as if the teacher told him he needed to increase the word count versus adding content. Book 2 has less of this however it did wear on me a bit in book 1.

Great story

This book and the previous one will definitely catch your attention and keep it. It is well written, in my opinion and the story well executed. The only real fault I find in this series is the perfection of the main character, it seems quite unrealistic, regardless of all the training he has had. I am actually expecting more explaining of why he is so flawless to be revealed in the last book, as in, more spells on him and such. Also, what's with ALL women being madly in love with him? It's got to be a spell! I'm hoping these things are ironed out, but either way I recommend and enjoy the books. Keep up the good work, Kel Kade.
