Death is only the beginning of his fight.

Beyond Haven’s walls, twilight smothers corrupted realms. Yet in the Field of Broken Banners, where the last great army fell, something older than despair takes root, Purpose.

Forgotten oaths stir in blood-soaked soil as bones rise from hallowed ground. Not a lone hero reborn, but a guardian forged of countless warriors’ final breaths. A silent champion shackled to the last desperate command that ended an age:

Hold the line. Protect them all.

It bears no name. Needs no flesh. Fears no death. Only the dead remember how to stand guard. Some promises outlast even death.

Cool MC in a dark world

The MC is gritty and relentless. The undead twist was unique and opened the door to some cool abilities. The internal monologuing got repetitive at time. So long as he is fighting things were pretty awesome. The is a lot of potential here. The narration did a good job creating a dark atmosphere.

immediately started listening to it again

If you like a dry, take no s#&% absolute tank of a fighter that is actually Intelligent, you'll love this book. well written from a different but refreshing point of view with none of the needless fluff you get in some stories. You want purpose, action and a good fight then then sit and listen, these hallowed bones have a tale to tell.

bones with purpose to protect

when the world is mostly deep in corruption and demon lords Humans have only their last stronghold, Ancient bones hears humanity's call to protection, rises our MC to protects.

there is plenty of action and an unique world setting and a different point of view. can't wait to see where the journey goes in the next book

Unique story with a great narrator to support it.

I've been reading fantasy books for years and this one is truly one of a kind. it can be a little grim and dark but it is balanced out nicely by Purpose. The book is worth the read if you're on the fence.

Refreshingly Dark, Great Narration

Refreshingly dark, if that makes sense. Jonathan, the narrator, really shines here. His approach to the narration allowed me to immerse myself in the story without being overloaded by the depressing post-apocalyptic fantasy world and its darker moments. He made listening more than enjoyable. The novel is fun…for the genre, and it presents a fairly unique main character. It maintained my interest and did not follow typical approaches to the genre, resulting in genuine surprises. Overall, this was a great time.
