A broken warrior searching for redemption. A criminal who haunts the darkest shadows. A rising darkness that threatens to consume them both....

A born warrior, Talyn Dynan was the finest fighter of her generation. But after a combat mission goes tragically wrong, she is left broken and wracked with guilt. Sent on a dangerous assignment to the mysterious kingdom of Mithranar, she must contend with the ruthless political games of the royal court while secretly hunting a criminal who is key to a much greater mystery. A single mistake could mean her death.

The Shadowhawk thrives in the darkest of nights. Desperate to help the oppressed human folk of Mithranar, he haunts the streets, stealing from those who have the most. The arrival of a foreign warrior brings him closer than ever before to being unmasked and executed. But is she truly his enemy, or an unwitting pawn in a game being played by the powerful ruling Acondor family?

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to either, a murderous foe stalks the dark corners of Mithranar. One that answers to a single purpose....

Vengeance.

Story

It took 2 or 3 chapters, but by chapter 4 I was hooked! The characters and character development in this series is top tier, and the plot twists and tension keep you in thrall. It was absolutely a 5 star for me and I know I'll be back to visit these characters again. You won't be disappointed, it's beautiful!

The story was interesting enough to keep listening to the series, but took a while to get interesting. This book was mostly world building. The narrator reads suuuuper slowly, and I had to speed up the audio to get to a normal pace. She does fine once the speed is at 1.2.

Decent Story but Slow Narration

This book was very good for those who like epic fantasy with a strong heroine. The narrator was excellent as well.

My only negative is that something about pace of the story and world building felt a little off. I can’t put my finger on anything specific, maybe I’m just used to a different writing style (Sarah j maas, Ilona andrews, Lindsay buroker). By the end of this book I was captivated and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Looking forward to the next book

Let me just say that I was Surprised 😮 at how much I loved this book. Especially because I never had heard of it before and I read 150+ books per year in this category!!!! WHY HAVE YALL BEEN SLEEPING ON THIS SERUES?!? Also never ever seen the ending coming! I kinda thought the Shadow was who he ended up being but after ignoring the signs and going with obvious looks, I shrugged it off for a mysterious unknown character. Then WHAMMO! Yep. That’s how you get me to read book 2 and change my rating from 4 to 5 stars! ⭐️

Yep. That ending is how you get me to read book2!

I found this book recommended deep in a Reddit thread and decided to give it a listen... I absolutely loved it. Per usual, the world building was a little slow, but without realizing it I grew so invested. Each and every character snaked their way under my skin and every interaction had me on an emotional rollercoaster. I had my suspicions but the last two chapters made me jump up and scream. I don’t know how this book isn’t more popular. It’s a literal crime.

Plz plz plz give it a chance …

I very much like that this story was nice and clean and had some interesting magic, but I figured out the ending about halfway through the story so it could’ve been developed a little bit better.

Good story but predictable twist

There were a lot of parts I liked about the book but also some I really found annoying. Basically this book is Ted lasso with a female and no humor. It’s a lot of team building/training montage that dragged for me. And the female lead was annoying at times. But the ending was great and I’ll definitely listen to the next one

An intriguing tale with a complex array of mysteries carefully unspooling. A cast of characters, each with their own skills and challenges, developing bonds of loyalty, dedication and appreciation among unlikely partners and a narration that pulls the listener into their world. I’ve already purchased the next two books, eager to know what happens next ❤️

Rising above what is, sowing seeds of what could be

The beginning of this story was a bit confusing, but as it continued, it dug its claws in and I was hooked! By the final sentence, I said out loud, "Damn! That was good!"
The twist at the end had me gaping. I did not see that coming.
