Weapons and Wielders, Book 2

By: Andrew Rowe

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

After bonding with Dawnbringer, the Sacred Sword of Light, Keras Selyrian travels to the nation of Edria to compete in the Tournament of the Sacred Sword. The winner of the tournament will be given a chance to fight for the Sacred Sword of Stone if they can defeat the current wielder, the impossibly powerful Emperor of Edria, in single combat.

Winning the tournament will be no simple endeavor. To succeed, Keras will have to face representatives from every nation, other foreign travelers of great skill, his own allies, other sacred sword wielders...and even a familiar face from his past.

But the tournament itself won't be the only challenge.

When tournament contestants are found dead, Keras discovers the telltale signs of a familiar type of enemy - one that even his own formidable powers might fail to match.

Author's note: This book is designed to set the foundation for plot and character arcs for several books to come, and this means that by necessity, there will be a number of elements introduced in this book that aren't resolved by the end. This is intentional, but it may not work for all listeners. If you prefer stories that feel self-contained, you may be best waiting for at least one more book to come out to listen to them back-to-back.

Another great story told by an amazing narrator

This series has quickly rose into my top 10, and I have around 300 Audible titles. A lot of times a series with a bunch of books will have some lackluster filler books in them. BUT NOT THIS ONE! Seems like Nick Podehl is either that good that he can make any story sound good or he is very picky and obly chooses ones that will be a blockbuster of a series. listened the whole time on a 11 hour road trip and still wasn't ready to take a break when I arrived! that should tell you about all you need to know

the only downside

to these books is, sequels cannot come out fast enough... like you can't release something with that much of a cliffhanger and then tell us the sequel will be out sometime next year if maybe

this book kept me up all night

really enjoyed this book with the arena fights always got a laugh out of dawn bringer the sword sound like a true gal for a sword an the enemies in it are very interesting hope another book comes out for this series. an has good info in it form the authors other books like how he adds info in this that deal with all his book

another good listen.

only complaint is that it isn't longer. can't wait for another book in the universe.

a great find

I stumbled upon the beginning of this series a while ago and this has quickly become one of my favorite book series and I cannot wait for the next book to come out
