About this listen

Tarkosi Terelta is a nobody. A nobody who will save his world from demons and the hellfire they bring.

The third-born of a shamed family, Tarkosi's lot in life is to spend his days as a worker, feeding temperamental lancewings under a harsh master. His days in the bloodwood city of Shal Gara are full of drudgery, tedium, and pain, his own ambitions cast aside in the name of order.

That is until demons from a broken world invade the forest realm of The Swathe, and an accident born of violence and dark magic intertwines Tarkosi’s fate with the greatest among them.

Forced onto the front lines of a war forgotten by history, Tarkosi must balance battling the royal demon bound to him with the rapid progression of the magical abilities its presence has bestowed. Risking everything, he will need to tread a thin line between hero and heretic to keep Shal Gara from falling into ruin and chaos.

Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Venom in this epic progression fantasy perfect for fans of Iron Prince, Cradle, and Kingfall.

Hidden Gem ..

Fantasy is interesting and there are some different ideas here (living in trees, flying on birds, hierarchical caste system), but I finished it just to finish it. I rarely looked forward to the next insight or the next reveal as many of the plot points felt predictable or lackluster. Not hating, just not my cup of tea.

Fantasy, but frustrating characters

very good pacing

Very entertaining will be moving forward with this series. The author is a very talented writer and is well on his way to being one of the greats. And the narrator is as always, masterful and his ability to bring the characters to life is fantastic.

Great book

A fun action packed book with great narration and I'm looking forward to book two.

Fun with action

I really enjoyed this story. The relationship between the MC and his demon was very well written and fun. It had all the classic tropes of a fantasy novel but the world building was excellent and unique. I enjoyed that not every question was answered and leaves the story wide open for the next installment!

Enjoyable
