The Seven Stars

Crowns of Silver & Ash, Book 1

De: Joshua Hampton

Narrado por: Jake Thornton

In the Silver City to sing is to breathe. Every note from the skalds’ harps is a diamond, every sound from their mouths a gift. It’s there that Bildgermuck the Barker has come to make his home, filling his days with songs and stout - and his belly with the best bull’s heart tarts in the Seven Cities. But west away across the mountains, where the King of Ashes sits his throne, the sons of the father are on the march, their lust for plunder matched only by their want to make kindling of the kingdom’s every fiddle, lute and lyre. At the Crowns’ command Bildgermuck is asked to lead a small band of Kingsmen through the wilds to take word of the sons to the rest of the Seven. The journey that follows will see him face not only the fell armies of the father, but the narrow-minded malice that plagues the men he has come to trust. For kings and crowns, ballads and bards, Bildgermuck must give up all he has to help restore the sweet sounds of song to a land made loud with the clatter of war.

Creative writing and a great performance

I enjoyed listening to this audio book. It was well written and the performance was great, especially the singing of the songs that were part of the story. As a reader of the hard copy version of the book, I wondered how that would be handled.

EXCELLENT

I have read this book twice already, and have listened to the first part of the new audiobook. The story by Mr. Hampton is truly engulfing! The performance by Mr. Thornton brings all of the characters and the world to life in a way I didn't think was possible. You will NOT be disappointed!

Incredible

This is such a gem. Lucky are those who find this tale of the Seven Stars. Now, for the Seven Plagues...
