Valor

By: John Gwynne

Narrated by: Damian Lynch

War has erupted in the Banished Lands as the race for power intensifies.

Corban flees his homeland searching for peace, but he soon discovers that there is no haven in the west as the agents of Rhin and roaming bands of giants hound his every step.

Veradis leaves the battleground and rushes to his King's side. But he has witnessed both combat and betrayal and his duty weighs heavily upon him.

Maquin seeks only revenge, but pirate slavers and the brutal world of pit-fighting stand in his way.

Nathair becomes embroiled in the wars of the west as Queen Rhin marches against King Owain. The need to find the cauldron of the giants drives him on.

Sides are chosen and oaths will be fulfilled or broken in a land where hell has broken loose.

Still to many POVs

Just as I was beginning to feel like I had a good grasp of the main characters, book 2 throws in several more POVs (many of the names sounding similar). Just as in the first book, the good guys are betrayed/killed frequently and the bad guys win/get away. It’s becoming a predictable formula.

Epic and outstanding!

Action, heartbreak, loss and loyalty. All the best aspects of classic fantasy and adventure on full display. Excellent follow up to Malice.

Outstanding saga continues!

John Gwynne at his finest! Corbin and his friends and foes continue with the battle to save the human race

Good dark fantasy

Enjoyable a b c d e f g h i j k l m

My heart

Simply amazing. I cried a lot during this one. I haven’t been into a book series in a while.
