About this listen
Born amidst the greatest storm Eodarrin has ever witnessed, Baelen's arrival heralds a new era fraught with peril and prophecy. On the night of his birth, the dreaded Storm Lord, Jerith Al'Sut, leads the northern horde from the frozen lands of Ver'Sut to conquer Baelen's homeland of Terrenholdt. King Josiah Dross, Baelen's noble and valiant father, falls in battle against Jerith, sacrificing himself so that Queen Liana, along with his closest friend—the Fae Guardian Aerendil Monwhisper—and a small band of loyalists can escape into the mystical Eldwood Forest.
In A Tempest of Shadows, Baelen becomes the central figure in a saga where ancient magic awakens and dark forces clash. Hidden from the eyes of the enemy, he grows under the protection of his mother and Aerendil, bearing the weight of his heritage and the fate of a kingdom on his young shoulders.
What you’ll discover:
- An Epic Hero's Journey: Follow Baelen as he evolves from a child born in chaos to a symbol of hope against the encroaching darkness.
- Immersive World-Building: Explore the richly detailed lands of Eodarrin, from the enchanted depths of Eldwood Forest to the ethereal realms of the Faewild.
Will Baelen rise to challenge the Storm Lord who shattered his family and homeland, or will Jerith Al'Sut's dark magic engulf all of Eodarrin? Embark on an unforgettable journey with A Tempest of Shadows and witness the dawn of a legend.

Might is right. This is the primal law of the jungle, and this creed not only rules the animal kingdom, but also shapes the lives of men. Having harnessed the elusive Qi energy, humanity has divided the world into zones and mastered the creation of extraordinary artifacts, edging closer to immortality. Yet, this evolution has only entrenched the fundamental law: power grants privilege. The strongest claim the finest resources as well as the right to rise above others. What chance does an ordinary youth from the neglected zero zone have in such a world?

Seems to be the start of an Epic Saga.
The story starts slow like many books, but really picks up pace as the characters develop. Narrator was a little dry, and I did have to listen to a few parts more than once. Feels like a book that is setting up for much more to come. Excited to hear the rest of the story.
By the end, I wanted more.
