The Sealed Citadel

The Cycle of the Scour, Book 1

By: Edward W. Robertson

Narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds

From USA Today best seller and Audie nominee for Best Fantasy Novel Edward W. Robertson comes the hotly anticipated spin-off from the Cycle of Galand universe.

Young Cally is an apprentice within the most unusual order of sorcerers in the known world: the only one that forbids its members from using their powers to kill.

Despite his lowly status, Cally's chosen by the Master of the Order to join a delegation to see their allies the Lannovians. The meeting will be historic: 60 years ago, the Order's enemies attacked them with a host of demons, forcing the Order to trap the monsters inside their own citadel and seal it shut with impenetrable wards. The trick worked so well the Order hasn't been able to get it back open since.

But the Lannovians may have just discovered a way.

As the meet unfolds, the Order's day of joy turns into a massacre. Cally and a grim soldier named Rowe are the only two to make it out of the ambush alive. As they flee into the wilds, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens to destroy everything Cally holds dear - but in order to stop it, he may have to betray every one of the Order's beliefs.

Dante and Blaze have competition!

I did not expect the adventure to continue into the past, with another set of characters, one well known. Great to have more by pre-visiting adventures to save Narashotovik and find that darn book!

great story great performance

The story was awesome and so was the performance. like many other people have said the audio was horrible part of the time. I normally don't post anything negative on reviews but it was definitely jarring at times. I would still recommend the book.

another awesome read by EWR!

loved this book as all the others! always exciting and cant beat the narrator.

Looking forward to the new books.

Prequels are always a tentative arena. But the story was as solid as the rest of the series has left me to expect.

Poor audio/recording quality repeatedly pops up in the first half, but it tapers off and was remedied by the end.

more 9 of our story, and the NOREN!

it's like coming home, but with Kally as a youngun.....

learning how Cally learned to use the shadow is a wonderful thing.
