About this listen
In 1717, it was a time of darkness, where stations kept to their own and people struggled to survive. A time where pirates still roamed the seas, slavery was suffered, and ignorance reigned supreme. But there is coming a greater darkness that man can't hope to fight - a darkness that will consume every soul on earth.
One young girl named Eve, born with a mark on her hand, outcast and abused, learns that she is the chosen one that must stop the rising evil. The last of a known race who protected the world, she must fight a horde of demonic hell hounds, demons, and her worst fears. Together with six others, she must learn to use powers she never knew she had if she ever hopes to defeat Nyx...the most powerful Necromancer ever born.

When he finally corners an old foe, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is drawn into a sinister conspiracy. As events unfold and he gathers allies - and enemies - Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power: an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.

Story
Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.

As for narration...considering this is Wesley Bruff’s first audiobook narration I am honestly blown away. He juggled 15-20 characters throughout the book, giving them each their own unique personality is truly impressive. Cannot wait to hear him narrate the rest of the series.
The cliffhanger is a real doozie on this one #TeamLycaon
Such a great read

I liked the author's writing style, the characters' arcs, the descriptions and the dark atmosphere that permeates throughout Eve of Darkness and I'm curious to find out what's next for Eve and her unlikely allies.
The audiobook version of Eve of Darkness is narrated by Wesley Bruf. He has a very interesting approach to this performance. He acts much more than he reads, infusing the story with passion, but he can't deliver consistent character voices. I'm sure that Mr. Bruf did his best and had only good intentions, but I prefer a much more balanced and immersive narrative experience.
I admit that some other listener might enjoy Wesley Bruf as a narrator and what I suggest is that if you are interested in this story, give a listen to the sample here. If you like it, go ahead and purchase the audiobook.
Narration aside, I consider Eve of Darkness a good first novel in a series that could become very interesting in the long run. If you like the dark fantasy genre, Eve's adventures might be just right up your alley.

The overall book was good if you like this time period. I compared this book to a couple of other books that are similar that I have read/listened to and that is why I rated it the way I did. It does a good job with the story but it is nothing that was truly fantastic - other than the narration.
A note about the audio sample of this book - I feel like it is a misrepresentation of what the whole book is going to be about. The sample made me think that the book would have a lot of background effects like growls or whatever - but that only accounted for maybe 2% of the book. Just be aware that it is very rare that you hear any background effects. With this in mind though, Wesley Bruff does do some very unique voice alterations that really add to the story and make it a great listen!
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. My review does not spoil anything and shares my thoughts on this book after I have completed it.
Wesley Bruff does an amazing job!

GREAT READ!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narration by Wesley Bruff is absolutely mesmerizing. Straight out of the gate, readers will appreciate the tone with which he delivers the story, the change of accent, and modulation. A dark and horrifying story calls for a performance that can communicate the atrocities effectively, and Bruff does that tenfold. His narration makes me forget who and where I am–honestly a stunning performance.
Readers who enjoy fantasy will find Eve’s plight enthralling. Her journey is one of resilience and determination, and her story is one readers won’t want to put down. I highly recommend Wesley Bruff’s narration, as well. It is not often you find an audio book so full of rich visuals. The Dark Age Chronicles: Eve of Darkness, the audio book, is not to be missed.
