Publisher's summary

A fisherman’s son who has lost everything.

A wandering master haunted by regret.

An exile wielding a sword that speaks.


Ryushu lives the quiet and boring life of a fisherman's son until a single day rips his world apart.

Now he must make the journey to the top of the titanic Mount Gharun to learn from the hyo masters--martial artists with the powers of demigods. Can he survive the brutal climb? Does he have the strength, not just of body, but of mind and spirit?

Meanwhile an exile wonders the barrenlands, holding a sword that speaks. He slowly gathers a following as he prepares to take the emperors throne for himself.

Dawn approaches. A Dawn of death and destruction. The Dawn of the Black Sun.

accessible and compelling

This is the beginning of a saga I will be following! It's a mystical martial arts-esque story of a young man who loses everything whose path intersects a Master of said arts. In parallel is a mysterious and dangerous exile, growing in power and influence. the further into this I listened the more I wanted.
advice: go back and listen to the prolog again after finishing the book!
