Resumen del Editor

The Gods are dead. In their absence, there can be only chaos, only war. And they are not all that has faded from the world of Verda...

Once there were heroes. Brave men and women who showed their quality to be above the rest. Those whose deeds earned them the heart of a dragon. Those whose courage and strength resonated with the unborn, who, in their eggs, can wait thousands of years for a warrior worthy of them.

These heroes rose up on young battlefields and defended the weak and oppressed across all of Erador. They did so because they were inspired. They had only to look up and see.

Dragons Riders!

The last noble warriors in the realm. Only heroes can embolden the ordinary. For centuries, millennia, the Dragon Riders galvanized generation after generation, adding Riders to their ranks and birthing dragons from their eggs.

But there are no more heroes. War with the Andarens is like nothing the Riders, nor the armies of Erador, have ever faced. In the place of heroes, there are only soldiers now. Fodder for the machine of war.

This time of twilight is set to be the crowning hour of the dark when the light is losing its grip. There are those who have been waiting, biding their time in the shadows while the heroes of Verda die out. They worship something ancient, something forgotten by myth and legend, something evil.

It falls on a few to keep back that darkness. A few who must rise without inspiration and prove themselves worthy.

can't wait for the next book

the best book I've listened to in a very long time. the story moved along with a lot of action, twists and turns, all told by who I think is the best narrator steven brand.

Great read!

Great story and characters. If you have read Echoes of Fate series you will def enjoy this. You can listen to this w/o having read the other books.

Imagining

It’s a well told and well thought out world! The creature invention and the history makes for a large world. It’s got it all without a lot of current romance.

love the dwarf orgins

I am a huge fan of all character involved especially the father-smuggler character. absolutely amazing please write fasterrrrrrrrr.

A DQ 4-esque fantasy

Great narrating and greater story, loved the characters and the pace of the narrative. Everything comes together while leaving you wanting more

the characters and page turning adventures

great book nothing to dislike about it great naration and world building can't wait for the next book

Total Package

It’s got the magic of fantasy. It’s got the races of fantasy, humans, dwarves, elves and much more. The monsters, I’ll try not to spoil the surprises there. A page turner of epic fantasy, with a start to a great adventure that I’m sad I found so quick because book 2 is not out yet…ill try to cope by reading previous books from this author I guess.

Amazing story telling

From start to finish, this audiobook delivers an enthralling narrative that kept me hooked throughout. The storytelling is exceptional, weaving a tale of transformation and triumph that captivated my attention from the very beginning. What truly elevates this audiobook is the remarkable narration, which is hands down the best I've ever encountered. Each character and scene is brought to life with precision and passion, making it an unforgettable listening experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a riveting story with impeccable narration. I honestly really love this book and cannot wait for the next one

Fantastic

Couldn’t stop listening, the narrator is by far my favorite of all. The characters and building of the story are far better then what I was expecting. Although this author has pumped out some pretty amazing books this has the potential to be top 10.

Awesome listen

Love all of it and ready for more. Can’t wait for the next one. Hope it is fulfilling as the other books are.
