About this listen

A must-listen for fans of high-fantasy epics, this sword-and-sorcery high-adventure series will be your new favorite fantasy book.

Once a thriving city—now a foul necropolis, ruled over by the arisen dead.

The fallen city of Brigganden now poses a threat to the neighboring lands, its demonic warlord slaughtering all who venture near.

Reza, a member of an elite code of knights, leads the only troop willing to stand against the hellish army—risking not only her life to the vile arisen, but the lives of her only friends.

As they struggle to survive the rising tide of evil, fulfilling their mission becomes the least of their priorities. The dead know of their presence—and this evil hungers for more than just flesh and blood.

Shadow of the Arisen is the first book in a high-fantasy trilogy that has deep roots in dark magic, Lovecraftian horror, and the occult. It’s an epic fantasy fiction novel that will leave you wanting more from the vibrant cast of characters you’ll grow to love.

The book starts with the character Nomad, randomly coming across Reza an elite knight, in the midst of battle against the undead. She gets separated from her kin and Nomad rushes in to defend her when she becomes fallen. Nomad takes her to a healer and thereafter joins the fight against the Arisen.

This story was just ok. There was something I didn't like about the book, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Perhaps the writing style. There is constant action, battle, magic wielding, good narration and I'm sure lots of other people would find it appealing, but for some reason it wasn't for me.

I was given this book for free of my own choosing and I voluntarily left this review.
