Historia
Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North. In the remote villages of Southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving - a test of courage and skill that not all survive. But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war.

Korendir’s name was the stuff of legend... Man of mystery...deadly mercenary...obsessed adventurer... From a life of misery, chained as a galley slave under the whips of the marauding Mhurgai, Korendir contrived an escape against impossible odds, only to gamble his hard-won freedom against ever more deadly stakes - in a world endangered by elementals, shape-changers, demons and perilous wizardry. Even Haldeth, fellow captive at the oar and his only accepted friend, can not understand what drives Korendir to repeated risk.

The small island of Malaz and its city gave the great empire its name, but now it is little more than a sleepy, backwater port. Tonight, however, things are different. Tonight the city is on edge, a hive of hurried, sometimes violent activity; its citizens bustle about, barring doors, shuttering windows, avoiding any stranger's stare. Because tonight there is to be a convergence, the once-in-a-generation appearance of a Shadow Moon - an occasion that threatens the good people of Malaz with demon hounds and other, darker things....

Resumen del Editor
For the first time in audio, the Cycle of Fire Trilogy, a stout and epic tale mixing sci-fi and fantasy by acclaimed author Janny Wurts. This classic fantasy trilogy follows three young people struggling to free the Stormwarden, the last of the elemental power-wielding Vaere sorcerers, so that he can battle the humanity-threatening demonkind.
Far in the future, a human-crewed starship crashes on a distant planet, carrying alien POWs taken to help discover the secrets of a deadly foe, the group mind known as the Gierj. In time, the humans revert to a feudal society, the aliens are seen as "demons", and the starship's computer survives as a "magical" entity known as the Vaere.
In Book 1, Stormwarden, Auskiere, wizard of wind and water, binds the Mharg-demons with the aid of Ivan, master of fire and earth. But at the moment of his greatest peril, Ivan is betrayed and he swears a terrible oath against his betrayer - an oath so powerful that it begins a relentless "cycle of fire".
Janny Wurts is the author of several fantasy series, including the internationally best-selling Empire trilogy, written in collaboration with Raymond E. Feist. She paints all her own covers, depicting her vision of characters and setting. She is also an expert horsewoman, sailor, musician, and archer.

Historia
In the beginning there was the Namsara: the child of sky and spirit who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But where there is light, there must be darkness - and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death bringer. These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up learning in hushed whispers, drawn to the forbidden figures of the past. But it isn't until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari.

Lindisfarne, AD 793. There had been portents - famine, whirlwinds, lightning from clear skies, serpents seen flying through the air. But when the raiders came, no one was prepared. They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site. It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground.

Not suitable for audio
This applies for the entire series. The books are complicated and I believe not suitable for audio book format. I have enjoyed Janny Wurtz in the past and enjoy her stories but only in the written word in future.

Too much about feelings
What did you like best about Stormwarden? What did you like least?
The concept of a computer guarding mankind was the best part.. It used myth, legend and advanced technology as magic. I did not like all the dealings with feelings and emotions. Give me more action.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Not as whinny.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
He did good voices. A lot of it was monotone.
Could you see Stormwarden being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No

Extremely over the top...but also ..interesting...
The author's verbiage is a tad melodramatic. The storyline is most unusual and quite interesting in and of itself...but....hmmm....but... ... The narration is extremely over the top and completely over acted (I "think" the narrator is...Australian?). The character voices range from deep slavic to sober japanese peeps and most of them are VERY excited a LOT of the time (except for the "bad" witch, she's quite calm in her wickedness). Sheesh. I remember this story as being awesome (the written hardcopy version). That was a LONG time ago. It IS (kinda) interesting but also.... (kinda) nerve wracking in this version. Too funny.

Great Story Great Narration
Loved this book the story was wonderful and the narration by, David Thorpe is Fantastic! His voices and accents are first rate he has become one of my favorite narrators just from this one book. He has great range and cannot wait to hear him read the rest of this series and anything else I can find narrated by him. Please audible hurry up and release the second book in this series!

A great fun fantasy romp for YA
A big Janny Wurts fan from reading her later magnum opus, the Wars of Light and Shadow (which I have requested from Audible, hint hint!) I snatched this one up as soon as I saw it. And I was not disappointed. Janny Wurts is one of the best and most under-appreciated fantasy writers around today. This book proves the elements were there even in her early writing.
Diverse characters are brought together to save the Stormwarden who is under enchantment by the evil sorceress, Tathagres, in league with demons. In beautiful Wurts style, the action swoops into a very exciting climax. I can't wait for the next two books to be released! Hurry, Audible!
David Thorpe does a bang up job as narrator, with an ability to create a variety of voices appropriate to the characters and with expression that helps the tension build.
Audible: More Janny Wurts please! In particular The Curse of the Mistwraith, The Ships of Merior, The Warhost of Vastmark, The Fugitive Prince, Grand Conspiracy, Peril's Gate, Traitor's Knot, and Stormed Fortress. I'll buy them all! I promise!

It's a great time to be an audiobook reader!
I???m so pleased with Audible Frontiers for bringing us some older fantasy literature on audio! Stormwarden is a coming-of-age story that focuses on three youth (Jaric, Emien, and Taen) who get caught up in a battle between kingdoms, sorcerers, demons, and aliens. There are some now-classic fantasy characters here ??? scrawny orphan boy who gets a sword, white-bearded sorcerer who controls the weather, a beautiful enchantress with white hair and violet eyes, and a beautiful dreamweaver with black hair, but they're treated with respect by both author and audiobook reader (David Thorpe) who pack them full of vigor, drive, and both admirable and reprehensible character traits and emotions.
There???s plenty of the unexpected, too. For example, much of the story takes place at sea. Also, an alien endows humans with supernatural powers by injecting them with crystallized demons. For a coming-of-age story, the plot is refreshingly unpredictable and Stormwarden ends with an exciting action-packed climax ??? a trademark Janny Wurts feature. The reader also gets a sense of Wurts??? expertise in sailing, horsemanship, and other outdoor pursuits ??? all of these elements feel real and this is something that sets this fantasy novel apart from most of its peers. The narrative style is more expository than is my preference, and sometimes it???s wordy, but it???s full of passion and David Thorpe???s perfect performance lends enthusiasm and verve.

Good Story but
The whole concept of the story is great and the choice of reader makes the Nordic sounding story line as if you were there or at least listening to a host of different characters.
The unfortunate aspect is the writers need to use technical terms inappropriatly; such as a young pessent fishermans son knowing all the nautical terms and even how to navigate away from landand the Author using a plethora of these terms (as an example) in incidental description distracting from the main story line. This somewhat takes away from following a most interesting story line which combines Sorcery witha touch of Sci Fi and other gifts with interesting characters, Sorceresses, Sorcerers and Demons.
Was i happy to listen to it, yes; will i get the 2nd Book; that i don't know yet.

Too much melodrama
Perhaps it was the narrator, who was difficult to listen to, but it was also the extremely melodramatic characters created by author Janny Wurts. There was either too much drama and overwrought emotion, or so little as to be flat and boring. Explanations as to why characters behaved the way they did, did little to make them more likable or sympathetic. I was relieved when the book ended though the ending would leave one to believe that there is a continuation. Think I???ll be passing on any more books in this series.

Narration is lacking
The book sounds interesting but I could not get past the whiny voice the narrator used when the character was upset. The accents were horrible. The dialog was too slow. One of the worse audiobooks I have attempted to listened to. I wish I could get my credit back.
