About this listen

One of fantasy’s finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground.

Michael J. Sullivan’s trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership and comparisons to fantasy masters Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, and J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Now Age of Myth inaugurates an original six-book series.

Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever.

Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun.

Magic, fantasy, and mythology collide in Michael J. Sullivan’s Legends of the First Empire series:

  • Age of Myth
  • Age of Swords
  • Age of War
  • Age of Legend
  • Age of Death
  • Age of Empyre

Another fantastic story by Mr. Sullivan. Filled with plot twists that I did but not see coming, and more then a few characters I couldn't help but fall in love with. Can hardly wait for the next one.

Lovely

One of the most underrated series out there. I have been reading fantasy for many years and have often been left disappointed with so many like for like ripoffs from unimaginative authors but this is done wonderfully. The characters are lovable, multilayered and believably real. The world is imaginative and tangible and the story complex but not in a ‘difficult to follow’ way but in a ‘keep turning the pages’ way. I am now on book 5 and have come back to no 1 to leave a review in the Hope it will encourage others to join the adventure. You will at times laugh and at other times feel emotionally wounded as. It’s a story to stir the heart. I’m not looking forward to coming to the end.

One of the most underrated series!

A brilliant and enthralling read, I couldn't stop laughing at times as although the content and characters are funny the funniest part was that it sounded like stewie from family guy was reading the book to me.

I have already bought the next one A+

I found this quite slow at first but by the end I was enjoying the characters enough to get the next book.
This first book is spent building the world and the characters more than pushing the plot. That pays off as the series gets better and better.

Slow first book but it gets better...
