He thought he was born Rylan Marshall...until he found out he wasn’t.

Rylan was attacked, his young son murdered, his baby daughter taken. But his assailant left him with two gifts: the gift of magic...and an oath to darkness.

Gil Archer is the son of a legend and one of the most powerful battle mages in the Lyceum. He is sent on a mission to recover Rylan, but ends up on a far more dangerous path.

And war is coming for them both.

Will Rylan use his newfound power to make a stand, or will his oath to darkness guide him to the enemy? And will Gil live up to the legacy of his father, or will his fate lead him to a much darker destiny?

If you love grimdark fantasy filled with vivid realism, brutal warfare, and raw emotion, this new adventure is just for you.

Started ok and thought it was going to be good. However, characters make stupid decisions and seem a bit dense. Also some plot contrivences really stretch it.

Ran out of steam with dumb characters

Good overall but does have issues

Intricate and interesting plot, it kept me listening. Looking forward to Book 2. Narrator did an excellent job with so many characters to differentiate between.

An enjoyable listen

I enjoyed a lot of the story but found so many parts completely irritating as the protagonists make such stupid decisions to further the story so obviously ridiculous but do you have to swallow it and move on I had to skip large sections because of my irritation the story could have been so much better if they also take the time to find a path to where he wanted to go instead of making his protagonist act like complete morons

excellent story but so many stupid actions
