The Bladed Faith

By: David Dalglish

Narrated by: Devante Johnson, Imani Parks

A usurped prince prepares to take up the mantle of a deadly assassin and reclaim his kingdom, his people, and his slain gods in this epic fantasy from a USA Today bestselling author.

Cyrus was only twelve years old when his gods were slain, his country invaded, and his parents—the king and queen—beheaded in front of him. Held prisoner in the invader's court for years, Cyrus is suddenly given a chance to escape and claim his revenge when a mysterious group of revolutionaries comes looking for a figurehead. They need a hero to strike fear into the hearts of the imperial and to inspire and unite the people. They need someone to take up the skull mask and swords and to become the legendary "Vagrant"—an unparalleled hero and assassin of otherworldly skill.

But all is not as it seems. Creating the illusion of a hero is the work of many, and Cyrus will soon discover the true price of his vengeance.

Critic reviews

"Dalglish sticks the landing with his final Keepers fantasy ... This is a worthy finale."—Publishers Weekly

"Dalglish manages to combine familiar elements in exciting ways... that's sure to keep readers turning pages."—Publishers Weekly on Soulkeeper

Another solid story!

If you like David's Shadow dance series, you'll like this too. They have a very similar feel about them.

just rough

Honestly, I think I'm just going to have to actually read this one to decide whether or not I like the story itself. The narrators are just shy of monotone, not to mention the number if mispronounced words throughout the entire book. I'm not even going to bother with the rest of the series as audiobook, the story has potential, I just can't tell if it's actually good because the horridness of the narrators make it so hard to focus on the story.

Great author

I enjoyed the plot and characters, and I’m excited to see where the story goes from here!

Great Book but Imani isn’t right

I loved this book and Devante Johnson did great but I dreaded every time the female characters came up because Imani Parks could not voice the characters well at all. If they keep her maybe she won’t sound so monotone in the next book and actually convey emotion through her reading. Honestly I can’t wait for the next book this is my third series I’ve started by Dalglish and I’m ready for more, hopefully we won’t have to wait long.
