Warlords of Wyrdwood

De: RJ Barker

Narrado por: Jude Owusu

"You fear the forest.. It is not foolish." His words rang like bells in the clearing, each face reacting to their din. "But the forest does not hate you, it does not hunt you. It simply does not care about you."

From British Fantasy Award-winning author RJ Barker comes the second installment in a new epic fantasy trilogy set in a forest straight out of darkest folklore with outlaws fighting an evil empire and warring deities.

The Forester known as Cahan led the village of Harn in rebellion against the all-powerful, oppressive forces of the Rai. A great victory was won, but to avoid retaliation he must lead the people of Harn into the Wyrdwood.

Cahan never wanted this responsibility, but fate has its eye on him, and without him the people will be helpless against the terrors of the forest.

But in the ground of Crua, a dark god is growing in power using the strength of decay. It is something new, something worse than the magics of the Rai, and it has its claws in Cahan. The people of Harn need him, and they will need new allies if they are to have any hope of surviving in the depths of the Wyrdwood.

Especially if the man they consider a hero, the Forester, Cahan Du-Nahere, is as lost to them as he believes.

Unique and strange - a powerful story

These books have multiple stories in them that we’ve together into one big story, and the author has created a fantastic and unique world.

So unique- very well written and narrated

The story is very detail oriented in scenes and of characters- built carefully to the end events. The narrator is excellent as well!

Another intriguing installment!!

RJ continues to write one of the most unique worlds in fantasy. I love the hidden world of the forestalls and of Udini is just the best!!!

Such a unique story

This author is a great world builder and his stories are never usual. Find all his stuff.

Now this is how to pace a trilogy

I really enjoy the story. The first book was a bit slow to grab my attention but the pace has picked up a lot and the 2nd book has one of the best endings for a book 2 of three that I've seen. I'm excited to see where the story goes next.

so annoying

didn't like it. drones on. characters all act out of emotion mostly. it's nonsense. begrudgingly listened to 90 percent of this. it's just painful and a form of noise pollution. bad experience.
