Resumen del Editor

From R. A. Salvatore, the legendary creator of Drizzt Do'Urden, comes the start of a brand new epic journey.

When Aoleyn loses her parents, she is left to fend for herself among a tribe of vicious barbarians. Bound by rigid traditions, she dreams of escaping to the world beyond her mountain home.

The only hope for achieving the kind of freedom she searches for is to learn how to wield the mysterious power used by the tribe's coven known as the Song of Usgar. Thankfully, Aoleyn may be the strongest witch to have ever lived, but magic comes at price. Not only has her abilities caught the eye of the brutish warlord that leads the tribe, but the demon of the mountain hunts all who wield the Coven's power, and Aoleyn's talent has made her a beacon in the night.

I tried...i really REALLY tried!

Couldnt get into this book for all the meandering the author is doing. Long on dialog short on action. If it wasn't for Mr Reynolds I would have not made it to the mid point.

Holy crap

Listened to this after listening to the first two trilogies of The Legend of Drizzt and really like the change of scenery. Interesting uses of magic. TGR gave an epic performance.

Promise made promise kept

Mr Salvador again has us on the edge and deep in the pine forest on another great journey. LDH

Another Amazing Tale

Salvatore, again, shows that whether writing of Dark Elves or lake men or demons from a mountain his ability to capture you and take you on an unforgettable Journey is as strong as ever.

Salvatore does it again

This is a great book one as always for Salvatore! If you compare it 1 for 1 against the Crystal Shard or Canticle where there has to be a lot of character development I find that this stands up and maybe even surpasses those books. One reason some may say it is better is because it is a bit longer of a book for Salvatore. I personally found myself falling quickly in love with his main character's, I laughed and despaired as they went through there journey's. I also found myself quickly learning to hate the main antagonists so it definitely looks like Salvatore has done it again!

Worthy of a standing ovation

This was a really well written story elevated to amazing by the beautiful narration of Tim Gerard Reynolds.

I am now a fan of R.A. Salvatore and look forward to listening to more of his work.

Enjoyed Greatly

As usual R.A.S., delivers superbly! Performance, well done. I look forward to hearing the whole series.

It is R. A. Salvatore so yeah.

Good story setting up a new adventure. Hope we get to see what happens to Night Hawk soon.

Tiptoeing into Corona

Salvatore does it again with his incredible talent and vast world-building. This was my first adventure into the world of Corona, introduced in the Demonwars series. I haven't read or listened to any of those books but I fully intend to! It's gonna be rough waiting until January 2019 for Reckoning of the Fallen Gods!

The audiobook does not disappoint; it is easy on the ears and the narrator is talented at giving characters unique voices. However, while the heavy accents in the book's dialogues are well-performed, REALLY make sure you are listening on moderate- to high-quality headphones or sound devices. I had a cheap pair of drugstore ear buds and I originally thought I wouldn't be able to plug through the book!

I guarantee you, though--it is worth the read and I wait for the next book with anticipation.

Great read!

Darker than the Drizzt books but no less engaging. I can't wait for book two.
