Gideon's Dawn

The Pearlsong Refounding, Book One

By: Michael Warden

Narrated by: Stacy Carolan

A shattered man.

A wounded land.
An ancient prophecy links their fate,
balancing destiny
on the edge of a knife.

GIDEON, a shattered loner from our world, finds himself in a wounded land where an ancient prophecy has cast him as the catalyst for the doom or deliverance of an entire people…maybe even an entire world.

Trapped between mystical forces with powers he doesn’t understand, he tries to escape, tries to tell them they’ve got the wrong guy. But no one believes him, and everyone wants a piece of him. Those who don’t want to proclaim him as a great deliverer want to kill him as a harbinger of doom.

He’s got no way home, and nowhere to run. But it’s too late to escape now anyway. The dark lords know his name, and have unleashed their incredible power to hunt him down and destroy him, along with anyone who gathers around him.

Is he a pawn, or a prophet?

Only time will tell.

But time is the one thing he no longer has.

Absolutely Stunning

From start to finish the story was excellent in ever way. Hearing this book read out loud was a real treat.

The places and the people

This feels like a fully realized new world, with a deep lore that connects everything. It’s a great adventure that I couldn’t help binge-listen! Awaiting audio book 2!

Loved it!!

I listen to a ton of books - the story and narration here are excellent! Can’t wait for the next book!
