Brotherhood of the Wolf

The Runelords, Book 2

By: David Farland

Narrated by: Ray Porter

David Farland delivers the second in his high fantasy Runelords series, featuring a complex system of magic and a wondrous, expertly realized world.

Raj Ahten, ruler of Indhopal, has used enough forcibles to transform himself into the ultimate warrior: the Sum of All Men. Ahten seeks to bring all of humanity under his rule, destroying anyone in his path. But young Prince Gaborn has fulfilled a 2000-year-old prophecy and become the Earth King, a mythic figure who can unleash the forces of the Earth itself. He has managed to drive off Raj Ahten, but Ahten is far from defeated.

Striking at far-flung cities and fortresses, Ahten seeks to draw out the Earth King from his seat of power and to crush him. But as they weaken each other's forces in battle, the armies of an ancient and implacable inhuman enemy issue forth from the very bowels of the Earth.

Critic reviews

"Substantial plotting, inventive magics, and enough fighting to gratify the most bloodthirsty fan." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Farland's action-packed climax is gripping." (Publishers Weekly)

Unique yet feels classic

This was a great listen. I struggled to finish for some reason but I found just interesting enough. Somehow I still loved it and will be listening to book three.

Solid sequel

I liked how this book opened up the world that Farland created. I really hate the antagonist which I guess is the point. The multiple point of views through out the book keep you on edge because you glimpse what the protagonist and antagonist are plotting throughout the book.

My new favorite author.

OMG....NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO IMMERSED IN A BOOK. David Farland is a master story writer and Ray Porter is a master performer. The characters are REAL and the world they live in is extremely vivid. Don't miss out on this amazing adventure.

Very good character development

I enjoyed the story very much. It was creative and had just enough personality to make it interesting. the characters were well developed.

Better and better

I enjoyed the first book but I was hooked into this one. A huge war with different sides all trying to survive. I love the new characters
