Story
Kodyn expected hardships along his journey to return a kidnapped girl to her father. Yet harsh deserts and cutthroat bandits prove far less lethal than the foes that await him in Shalandra, the City of the Dead. In the shadows of golden spires carved from mountain stone, currents of corruption and vice run deep. Priests of the god of death rule with an iron fist, imposing a rigid caste system that elevates some to a life of privilege and condemns others to miserable squalor.

Story
Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium - elves are superior. They are faster, stronger, and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them.

Aram thinks he’s nothing but a misfit from a small fishing village in a dark corner of the world. As far as Aram knows, he has nothing, with hardly a possession to his name other than a desire to make friends and be accepted by those around him, which is something he’s never known. But Aram is more. Much, much more. Unknown to him, Aram bears within him a gift so old and rare that many people would kill him for it, and there are others who would twist him to use for their own sinister purposes.

Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Fast paced, although slightly lacking prequel novella
*this is currently included on audible, that is why i listened!
Also referred to as Evren’s Story. This is a prequel novella to the Heirs of Destiny and the latest I’ve finished from the included Podium Audio prequels on Audible.
This prequel novella focuses on the darker side of the world. Well, a fantasy world. It mainly focuses on the darker side of humans and human nature. Evren, an apprentice priest wants to escape the confines of his cell. The priests are nothing more than aggressive r*pists and abusers, that call their nightly visits “prayers” (to me this is unfortunately mentioned so often it’s literally beaten into the ground). The older apprentice boys manage a fight club, so that they can bet on others’ suffering. When an opportunity to escape surfaces, Evren will soon find out that the streets are no safer or kinder.
The rest that ensues, to me, doesn’t really do anything in the way of setup for a series that I can see, other than perhaps giving backstory on the character of Evren. We also only get the world building through the eyes of exactly what the characters see. So a seedy church compound and seedy poor city streets. There’s not much in the way of lore or anything else. I didn’t mind or dislike listening to this one, but I find now that I can’t really think of good things to say.
I will say that the narrator didn’t do a bad job, but he is American and doing an accent. Because it is not his actual accent, it comes off as sounding Spanish and Italian and Russian depending on what he’s saying. Which I guess in a fantasy world isn’t necessarily a bad thing at all, but it did pull me out of it more than once.
Personally a 2.5/5*. Just didn’t work for me.

A new Destiny
Andy Peloquin never fails to impress, a fantastic short tale from the Heirs Of Destiny series, we follow one of the main protagonist Evren from the main books, who is an apprentice priest and its a living hell, when he and a fellow Davor make a break for it, escaping a life of slavery, while they make their way through the streets and Dark alleys of Vothmot, full of thieves, murderers and some unsavoury characters, but escaping one hell, running might have landed them in a much worse situation, with Davor alot younger, he must toughen up and steel to survive, after reading this, I will be checking out the series in the near future, awesome narration by Travis Morris, super read, a cracking arrange of voices gives it an extra touch of awesomeness, highly recommend...😁

The brilliant start to yet another series.
Anyone can read these books as a standalone set of novels and equally enjoy them without reading the preceding series 'Heroes of Darkness', from which these books are a fork in the road, and set in the same world with some of its characters. However I recommend the series reading order Mr Peloquin suggests on his site. Enjoy...!

WORTH LISTENING TO
The characters are fairly 1 dimensional, but otherwise what is an interesting and promising story. Im not sure how I feel about the thick Southeastern European/Italian accounts of all the characters, vs the American accent of the narrator (which grate against one another, to my ears) but they are done well enough.
I wish he would have given a little time to characters development even though it’s just a free prequel. The entire time is spent displaying how virtuous the Mary-Janed main character is with hardly a line of dialogue the cardboard cut out of his physically/mentally weaker friend he spends the entire time protecting. The other characters too are all 1-D.
Still the story is interesting enough that I would like to know what happens in the future. Snd best if all - I care enough about the main character to be willing to spend money on the next listen.

Intriguing
This is my first book in this series, and although it isn't as compelling as some I've listened to, it does make me curious about what happens to the 2 main characters. The narrator voice inflection & accent was good, but there wasn't enough distinction between the voices, so sometimes it was hard to follow the dialogue. But overall, it was a pretty good listen.
