Publisher's summary

Murder came to the lords of the Silone Clans upon the Eve of Snows, and the survivors scattered to the sea in a desperate journey to safety. They surrendered Kaludor, their island and home, to the demonic Shadows of Man and the Taken they possess.

Eliles and the 20 souls who stayed behind on Herald’s Watch, surrounded by a tower of impenetrable fire, find they are not alone. Ivin, along with other surviving Silone lords, negotiate a desperate peace with the Hidreng of the Hundred Nations, a bargain which could cost his people the Seven Heavens and forfeit his soul. Solineus travels to bargain a treaty with the Edan of the Mother Wood to protect the Silone from the Hidreng. His journey will return him to the frozen Treaty Lands and the Tomb of the Touched. Meliu once again holds the Codex of Sol, and even as she questions her faith in the gods, she finds that her prayers have their favor: She’s more powerful than she ever imagined, but it’s a power with a terrible risk.

The Silone people are desperate for peace, desperate for food and shelter to survive the coming winter. What they desire is to return victorious to their homeland, but their hope and refuge lies at the end of a path which will leave their dead burning behind them: The Trail of Pyres.

Good story. Probably better to read though.

The first book had a performer with a lisp. He was fairly entertaining if you have the ability to ignore that. I did not. The second book was read by the author. If you listen to books before bed, it is perfect. However, there is no tone change between casual dialogue and combat. He has some fun with voice changing with characters but just lacks emotion.
The story itself is fairly complex. There are a lot of characters to track but not too many. I have enjoyed it so far but have to rewind chapters because I lose track of what is going on.
I finished the first 3 books, including the 1.5 novella. This will be the first series I where the final book is available where I do not finish it. Just failed to captivate.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
