About this listen
After bonding with Dawnbringer, the Sacred Sword of Light, Keras Selyrian travels to the nation of Edria to compete in the Tournament of the Sacred Sword. The winner of the tournament will be given a chance to fight for the Sacred Sword of Stone if they can defeat the current wielder, the impossibly powerful Emperor of Edria, in single combat.
Winning the tournament will be no simple endeavor. To succeed, Keras will have to face representatives from every nation, other foreign travelers of great skill, his own allies, other sacred sword wielders...and even a familiar face from his past.
But the tournament itself won't be the only challenge.
When tournament contestants are found dead, Keras discovers the telltale signs of a familiar type of enemy - one that even his own formidable powers might fail to match.
Author's note: This book is designed to set the foundation for plot and character arcs for several books to come, and this means that by necessity, there will be a number of elements introduced in this book that aren't resolved by the end. This is intentional, but it may not work for all listeners. If you prefer stories that feel self-contained, you may be best waiting for at least one more book to come out to listen to them back-to-back.

Story
Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake. But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

A young man lives among the trees of a primeval forest, raised by a wizened old sage and friend to the faeries and spirits of his home. He bears only half a name—Lien, an ancient word meaning "blade" or "edge"—and no knowledge of his heritage. As he grows, so too does his need for independence and answers. Thus, he begins his adventure, seeking a shattered sword and the truth behind the mysterious mark on his right hand.

Story
For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

The Founders were the first marked, and they used those powers to build kingdoms, subjugate the land, and enrich themselves. They will not suffer another to join their ranks. Lost in a world with levels, stats, and monsters, Hal fights to survive in an unforgiving land, and to escape execution from its rulers. Ingenuity and courage won’t be enough. With marked powers he doesn’t understand, he’s easy prey for all the goblins, bandits, aberrations, and foul monsters that plague the realm. He’ll need to abandon his humanity by embracing the beast within.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Five years ago Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire - a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

But while that strange place may hold the key for Corin to make his final preparations for a long-awaited rescue mission, it also holds hidden dangers. And one final secret tied to the Cadence household.

Story
For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

the only downside
to these books is, sequels cannot come out fast enough... like you can't release something with that much of a cliffhanger and then tell us the sequel will be out sometime next year if maybe

Another great story told by an amazing narrator
This series has quickly rose into my top 10, and I have around 300 Audible titles. A lot of times a series with a bunch of books will have some lackluster filler books in them. BUT NOT THIS ONE! Seems like Nick Podehl is either that good that he can make any story sound good or he is very picky and obly chooses ones that will be a blockbuster of a series. listened the whole time on a 11 hour road trip and still wasn't ready to take a break when I arrived! that should tell you about all you need to know

Fun story, Espially if you like tournament arcs
Now first of all I would still recommend this book to anyone who likes the series, but I wouldnt start anyone off with it of course.
Compared to the other books in the series the best way to describe this one would be the "My Hero Academia" School Festival tournament arc. Tournaments are great Espially in anime, you get to see interesting new characters with new abilities you havnt considered in an ever expanding world, you also get to see your favorite characters show off and really flex. If you've been curious of what our favorite swords men can do in a fight against some daunting odds you'll like this. This book does a good job of making the tournament seem more organic to the characters, Beacuse they like what they do and what they do is fight, but its normally with a reason beyond that.
I personally missed to cleverness and story of the other series with our enchanter pals, or the character driven story of the first 3 books, or the interesting dungon diving and narrative world building of even the 3.5 book. There is a story here but barely, its a lot of what you like in a tournament arc, but with no clear consistency of ability. The author tries to address this at some point directly, but it still seems lacking. Its easy to forget that this is a story within a story and possibly any of your questions of our protagonist's backstory are shifted away from the protag (which isn't a bad thing in my opinion) and more towards other characters.
summary: in anime and other media like it Tournament arcs are great for "filler" in a season with not a lot of plot. However, when the plot does show up its awesome and inpactful. I just would have liked to have a bit more of that cleaver story telling I've grown accustomed to from Mr. Rowe, his characters are certainly interesting and very respectful of one another (rather "woke" on a few tropes in story telling) but this book sure is a fun tournament. I do however, miss the story, but the bits that are shown will make you smile, leave you speechless, or possibly leave you saying "wait...nooo..."
so again, I would still recommend this book as a read but only if you like the series as a whole. I love the series and look forward to the next book when the series plot continues. ;)

Fun
I liked this book even more than the first in the series. Took me a bit of time to remember some of the context since it’s been a few months, but once it got rolling there was no stopping. Can’t wait for the next.

A history you never learned...
Reach back into the mind of your childhood. Where hero’s fought for just causes and dragons were mighty beast slain by those heros.
No throw that away and listen to the real story. The ones we were never told or at least told from a different view point.
