The Darkest Dawn

Rings of War, Book 1

By: Marc Mulero

Narrated by: Greg Tremblay

Shunned by his people, called a freak by his peers, an outcast boy will become the land's greatest legend.

Tucked away deep in the forest, Eres is hidden not only due to his condition, but also because he is the forbidden heir to a magical ring - a ring that if in the wrong hands, will end an era of peace sought for centuries. He cannot be discovered by any means, lest the infamous assassin, Seren Night, be one step closer to completing his collection and plunging the world into chaos. Knowing he can't hide forever, Eres disguises himself so he can attend the local academy, Kor Vinsánce, where he will learn to become a Skrol. Proctors will teach him about the magic of Reach, how to duel, and will equip him with the essentials to one day fill the shoes of his legendary father. Will he leave school a savior for his merit or a criminal for his defiance? Will Eres emerge from his mask before everything he's grown to love is lost?

SMHi never leave reviews but I have to on this one

I have listened to almost a thousand audio books and this ending is almost as bad as game of thrones I will not throw out any spoilers cuz that’s just petty but damn the first 30 hours were a complete waste I mean I see what the author was going for but personally I’m cool smh

Slow build to Big Reveal!

Open your mind to a world much different to the one you know and you will find unique concepts, fun characters and an exciting story that sucks you in the more you read.

awsome and hits in all the rite places

great story 👏
great narrator 😊
awsome plot twists 👍
best bang for the buck 💰

Modernized High Fantasy with great narration

the story is compelling with likable characters. the setting is very interesting. the world is built where there is a combo of science and fantasy but leaning toward a high fantasy feel. if you like fantasy, you'll enjoy this but the little bit of technology/science makes it feel a bit different from normal high fantasy settings. Greg Tremblay is also magnificent in his reading. I found it enjoyable, and would suggest it to anyone.

Didn’t like the big reveal.

I was curious about the story initially but then they did the big plot reveal about the main character right in the beginning chapter. It removed any sense of mystery or wonder I had about him and I lost interest in the story almost immediately.
