The Son of the Morning

The Nightfall Wars, Book 1

By: Jacob Peppers

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

Fifty years ago, the nightwalkers appeared, creatures of shadow and darkness, thirsting for blood and death. Thousands died, and the kingdom of Entarna was brought to its knees. Then the Chosen came: six men and women endowed with powers by Amedan, the God of Fire and Light. The Chosen joined with the kingdom’s armies, and together, they managed to defeat the night’s creatures. At least for a time.

Alesh, servant to Chosen Olliman, the greatest of Amedan’s priests, knows well what the darkness holds. He saw it, as a child, when his father and mother were killed, and he was left with a blackened, festering scar that refuses to heal.

The day wanes, and the night comes again, but when those chosen to protect the kingdom are unable or unwilling to help; when the fellowships of the past have crumbled, it is left to an orphaned servant - a man many believe to be cursed - to stand against the rising darkness.

This easily surpasses most other new epic fantasy.

Unique in some very subtle but very important ways that make it stand out on shelves stacked high with new fantasy.

Great

Really good book. Perfectly paced with just the right amount of world building and suspense.

Great listen.

With a cast of intresting and likable characters,
slowly unwinding intrigue that keeps you hooked,
powerful deities and sinister forces woking behind the scenes, Son on Morning is a compeling and worthwhile listen. The voice acting, as typical of Derek Perkins, is also masterful and will keep you entertained if not spellbound.

not the in between book I was looking for

I was looking for something to get me through until my other series produced more books. but it's much more. Of course we love derek and as always thank you. Started out great, gotta a little slow but picked up. not use to so much so quick even though we know it's coming I like the way it's playing out. already downloaded the next and this review is taking away from my listening.

MAN WHAT AN EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!

Very good and great character development. can't wait for book 2!! I've looked for possible release dates and just disapointed.lol Good job to you Jacob.

A spiritual successor to Robert Jordan

I do not often write reviews but this book warrants one. The characters are full and the heroes have flaws. The villians are evil and cunning, truly worth hating. It reminds me of the wheel of time but smaller at this point. Anyone who has enjoyed that series would do well to listen/read this one.

Amazing abdominal fabulous story

loved this book. exceptional write story that leaves you wanting more. The only negative Part is some of the outcomes were predictable for me. but the narrative was excellent and the book very entertaining.

Excellent performance

The performance is outstanding now I have a second favorite narrator ! Aldo’s
Story is getting interesting , to bad they are short books

This book series could make a reader out of me!

This was a great book! I keep reading from this author and like his writing more and more. I am normally not a reader save an author or two, and really haven't read any other books in this genre. This book made me excited to see the next installment in the series. The narrator was also excellent and used many different voices for characters that helped them to come alive! Awesome book!

awesome listen

Loved it. can't wait to finish the series. I feel like this should be a show. it would be amazing.
