The First Binding

Tales of Tremaine

By: R.R. Virdi

Narrated by: Vikas Adam

“Epic fantasy at its finest—an homage to storytelling and legend, richly told and endlessly engaging.”—Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter

Don’t miss the first novel in this stunning Silk Road-inspired epic fantasy series from R.R. Virdi—a saga of legends, lies, and the secretive storyteller who’s spun them all.

All legends are born of truths. And just as much lies. These are mine. Judge me for what you will. But you will hear my story first.

I buried the village of Ampur under a mountain of ice and snow. Then I killed their god. I've stolen old magics and been cursed for it. I started a war with those that walked before mankind and lost the princess I loved, and wanted to save. I've called lightning and bound fire. I am legend. And I am a monster.

My name is Ari.

And this is the story of how I let loose the first evil.

“Rich world-building, plenty of action, and devious twists abound. Very highly recommended!” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Kagen the Damned

a worth while read

I am so glad I got this one! it was a little difficult for me to get into but honestly I think that was more due to my schedule and not being able to sit with it and engage for more then a few minutes at a time when I started reading this one.
once I did let the story take me, wow..I cannot wait for the next one! well written, well read, the characters are well rounded and the narrator does an excellent job bringing them to life!

Pretty good

You can definitely feel and hear the homage to The Name Of The Wind. Very good narrator/performance.

it's like if kvothe

it's like if kvothe didn't become a pansy maybe he'll write faster than rothfuss blah blah blah

Kingkiller Chronicles ripoff

It's not bad necessarily, but I found myself angry at how similar it was to kkc in SO MANY ways. it's like that meme "can I copy your homework?" "sure but change it enough so it's not obvious."

Holy hell.

what's with the life lessons in this book? there amazing, but dang making me question some of my decisions.
