The Oathbound

Vows and Honor Series, Book 1

De: Mercedes Lackey

Narrado por: Christa Lewis

The first audiobook in the Vows and Honor trilogy unites sword master and sorceress in a quest for revenge in this thrilling epic fantasy.

She was Tarma. Born to the Clan of the Hawk of the nomadic Shin'a'in people, she saw her entire clan slain by brigands. Vowing blood revenge upon the murderers, she became one of the sword-sworn, the most elite of all warriors. Trained in all the forms of death-dealing combat, she took to the road in search of her enemies.

She was Kethry. Born to a noble house, sold into a hateful "marriage", she fled life's harshness for the sanctuary of the White Winds, a powerful school of sorcery. Becoming an adept, she pledged to use her talents for the greatest good. Yet unlike other sorcerers, Kethry could use worldly weapons as well as magical skills. And when she became the bearer of a uniquely magical sword that drew her to those in need, Kethry was led to a fateful meeting with Tarma.

United by sword-spell and the will of the goddess, Tarma and Kethry swore a blood oath to carry on their mutual fight against evil. And together, sword master and sorceress set forth to fulfill their destiny....

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Their adventures are both imaginative and entertaining.... An intricately choreographed confrontation provides an extremely clever resolution.” (Rave Reviews)

Wonderful!

I loved the original book, this rendition is truly faithful to it. I'd forgotten how good it was.

A superb reading of great stories

it's been 31 years since I first read this book, and while I would have liked to see the audio book earlier, it was well worth the wait!

amazing performance

I've read the book before and loved it, but the performance made the book come alive in a new way. fantastic.

Interesting characters.

Enjoyed this book when I was a teenager and I enjoyed listening to Christa Lewis' performance. She brought Kethery and Tarma to life. I will be looking forward to Oathbreakers - the other book in the Vows and Honor series.

Spellbinding

Very well written melding of short stories. Very good Sword and Saucery book. Good narration.
