Publisher's summary

Few people survive the suffering that Kael Symes has experienced. Hot steel, demonic magic, and the loss of those he loved.

After escaping the horrors of Arkum Zul, Kael and his companions survive a terror-filled night on the ocean only to find themselves shipwrecked and stranded in the Wildlands. With forest tribals on the warpath and old enemies roaming the forest, Kael struggles to come to terms with what he is slowly becoming - a killer. A DeathWizard.

In the fight against the evil that threatens to consume him, Kael learns that the Dwarven Mountains far to the north may hide an ancient monolith that holds the answer to the corruption that flows in his veins.

But trekking across Talohna is a dangerous prospect. It is a world that holds its secrets close. The cost of uncovering them may very well be his soul and, quite possibly, his life.

Good bones, good story, needs a decent editor

Simon Vance was great; a lot of voices to act, and well done overall. The story is great, enjoyable to listen to, lots of action and a cool world to visit; I bought both sequels on strength of the first one. However there are some simple but irritating mistakes around comtinuity, awkward grammar, flawed and weak connections made that stretched credibility; a lot that could have been fixed with better editing. But hey it’s fiction, and I do care about the characters, so it worked for me. Overall I’m glad I listened,

Too much manufactured drama

There is such a thing as too much drama. Like soap operas like "The young and the restless" or "Dynasty", or "Dallas", the author seemed more intent on dragging this story out unnecessarily by manufacturing drama when none was necessary if just a little common sense was applied. This is the source of the frustration many are expressing here and in my opinion, it ruins a potentially great story that could have been much greater if it was less overtly dramatic.

I hope the author tones down the drama in future versions of this book.

Get sick of kale dying.

It seems that Kale the hero of the book dies about every other chapter. At this point I know he’s going to die and I know he’s going to get resurrected. And the same goes for his wife.
