Summary

Do not hesitate. Do not contemplate mercy.

The Lorian empire took everything from Dayne. His family. His home. His people.

He will carve a bloody path through Epheria. He will have his vengeance, by blade and by blood.

This is his story...the story of The Exile.

The Exile is a companion novella to The Bound and The Broken series, not a standalone novella. Previous books in the series should be listened to first.

Cahill is doing some great work right now. There are a number of good sword and sorcery authors to choose from but I think the Bound and the Broken series is as good as anything I have read in 30 years!

Reading the Novella helps give insight into key characters featured in the series. I would also recommend this audio book to anyone who has read the books and wants to refresh themselves on the plot whilst waiting on the next release. .

Do you remember that guy, Dayne, from Of Darkness and Light who just kinda appeared out of nowhere and you felt like you were supposed to know him? Well...this is his story, and your chance to get to know him, by blade and by blood.

The Exile tells the story of Dayne Ateres focusing on four important moments of his life. The novella is a bit of an odd one out in the series as it solely focuses on a single point of view. This allows us to really get to know Dayne, feel his anger, his grief, his love and his determination. We get to experience the life-changing events Dayne goes through and watch as he slowly becomes the person we meet in ODAL. It is a journey that will have you smiling, gasping in shock, laughing out loud and tear up. It is a journey well worth undertaking.

While the novella focuses on Dayne we get to see other characters from the main series as well. I absolutely loved learning more about these characters some of which were already favourites of mine while others became new favourites. Cahill's power as a writer truly shows in how he is able to say so much in so few words. He is able to change my view of a character with just a single sentence. Literally.

The pace of the novella is excellent, never a dull moment. The action is incredibly well balanced with deep emotional moments that made me tear up and humorous banter that had me laughing out loud or rolling my eyes.

In the Exile there is darkness, there is grief, there is vengeance and there is blood. But there is also love and laughter and family. In The Exile there is hope.

10/10
