About this listen
From legendary author Raymond E. Feist, the first installment in an epic new series that will join his acclaimed Firemane Saga with his signature Riftwar Cycle in a riveting, conclusive adventure.
As worlds collide . . .
Hatushaly, last scion of the Firemane dynasty; his beloved Hava, and their dubious friend Donte have been transported across space and time from their war-torn world of Garn to the relative peace of Midkemia.
There, on Sorcerer’s Isle, under the guidance of the great magician Magnus and his reincarnated father Pug, Hatu will explore and expand his unique magical abilities: for if Garn is to be saved, they will be needed.
With the evil Pride Lords defeated, the Church of the One has risen to bring death and destruction to Hatu’s home world. The kingdom of Ilcomen has fallen, and now the Church is sending forces to Marquensas, where Daylon Dumarch has declared himself king, and master swordsmith Declan Smith finds himself suddenly raised to the status of prince and war commander.
But there are even greater menaces than the Church of the One waiting in the wings, beings from the Void, creatures born of Darkness. . .

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Story
A vibrant and powerful epic set against an alternate Bronze Age, this tale of gods, men and monsters, conspiracy and war, is a rich, compelling and original tale from a master of the historical and fantasy genres. The people caught up in toils of the gods are merely trying to survive. Victims of vicious whims, trapped by their circumstances or pushed beyond what the mortal frame can bear, a handful of god-touched mortals—a scribe, a warlord, a dancer and a child - are about to be brought together in a conspiracy of their own.

For centuries, the five greatest kingdoms of North and South Tembria, twin continents on the world of Garn, have coexisted in peace. But the balance of power is destroyed when four of the kingdoms violate an ancient covenant and betray the fifth: Ithrace, the Kingdom of Flames, ruled by Steveren Langene, known as "the Firemane" for his brilliant red hair. As war engulfs the world, Ithrace is destroyed, and the Greater Realms of Tembria are thrust into a dangerous struggle for supremacy.

After nearly 30 years and more than two dozen novels, Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Cycle has become one of the most iconic, beloved, and enduring sagas in modern fantasy. The Riftwars were epic battles between Good and Evil whose ramifications have echoed through generations. The latest entry in the epic, A Kingdom Besieged, ushers in the most fearsome threat the Kingdom has yet faced - the Chaoswar - a magic apocalypse with cataclysmic results.

Great book
I will never understand while Feist is not mentioned in the same breath as Robert Jordan or even Tolkien. This universe that he created is so deep and rich, and the characters are so amazing.

really enjoyed the fact the same narrator was used
I absolutely hate the fact that he pronounced the names different it makes it hard to remember if the characters are the same or if there different... otherwise he did a wonderful job.

Feist forgot his own cannon.
The first book King of ashes was good and the2nd and 3rd were OK, but with this new cycle he is rewriting cannon. As for the narration can a narrator that is new to the serries listen to the previous narrators to get the pronunciations correct.

Great fan of the magician series. This is like oil and water storywise. Peter Joyce is sorely needed. If the narator says Kriddy its like a toothache.

Shallow compared with Magician series
I’m big fan of Magician series, I lost count of how many books I read. This one feels like it was conceived a bit in a rush. Re-explaining concepts for the characters that they should already known just to be re-explained again few chapters later to the point of getting annoying. Other issue was a couple of oversights on the story that were a bummer. (spoiler alert) Ie: 1) chapter 30 Magnus is transporting back and forth in Garn meanwhile Hatu is on Midkemia, that shouldn’t be possible as described in the beginning of the book. 2) why all the trouble of passing a ship through a rift?! Just haul things over the rift! It would be faster, easier and safer. Over engineering doesn’t land well with century old wisdom. It feels like the book spends too much time on trivial things instead of going deeper in complexity and philosophy. In any case, it’s a fun book but not to the level of the Magician series. I hope it gets better on next books.
