Long ago, the gods forged Twelve Swords of Power and threw them on the gameboard of life to watch men scramble. But they had forged too well: The Swords could kill the gods themselves.
Now the gods gone, the Swords are scattered across the land, some held by those of good heart...others by those whose purposes are evil...and one, Sightblinder, is held by Arnfinn, a young country boy who knows nothing of the Tale of Swords or of Sightblinder's power; to make the viewer see that which he most desires - or most fears.
The tale begins innocently enough as Prince Mark of Tasavalta, accompanied by his nephew Zoltan and doughty Ben of Purkinje, seeks out the castle of the good and mighty wizard Honan-Fu, hoping that Honan-Fu will agree to tutor Mark's young son Adrian. But as they approach the lakebound keep, soldiers set upon them, and Mark is seized by an enormous griffin, carried off to the castle, and thrown into a hellish prison of enchantment.
Honan-Fu, powerful as he is, has been vanquished by the Ancient One, a being at once reptilian and human who has slipped the bonds of time, armed not only with his personal spells and demons, but with Prince Mark's captured weapon, the Sword of Force, Shieldbreaker.
It is up to Ben and Zoltan to rescue Mark. But first they must deal with ex-Queen Yambu, and the unlikely assistance she offers; with the innocent Arnfinn, holder of Sightblinder; and with the stunningly beautiful girl Arnfinn loves - the Lady Ninazu, Honan-Fu's daughter. Not to mention the enigmatic Emperor.
Told with Fred Saberhagen's enormous gusto and narrative skill, Sightblinder's Story will delight the listeners who made The First Book of Lost Swords: Woundhealer's Story a fantasy best seller.

slow but well worth it.

Please, for the love of Ardneh, why do you keep allowing this woman to butcher your books? Her character voices would almost be comical if they weren't so painfully bad. It's not even so-bad-it's-good bad. It's wait-did-I-just-step-in-dog-poop? bad. Everybody either sounds like a complete oaf or a screeching child. Seriously, Cynthia, nobody talks this way. Please... just stop. I'm begging you. Find another line of work.
And to whoever produced these books. What were you thinking? Were you skimming the bargain bin in the narrator section or something? Whatever you paid this woman, it was too much. Even if she paid YOU for the privilege, you still lost out. Pick any random person on the street who can read, and they'd be better than Cynthia Barrett.
To any future audiobook authors: Please keep this person as far away from your books as possible. It doesn't matter how good your book is. Cynthia Barrett will turn it into an absolute cringe fest.
I can't believe she gets paid to narrate books

I wish that I had listened to this before I bought the rest of the books, because I would not have. I have a hard time getting past her voice and style to enjoy the book.
Great story. awful reader
