Publisher's summary

Grog is a brute (half Human, half Ukar) slave raised from birth to fight in the pits for the entertainment of the crowds. He is content with his role in the city, proud of his barracks, and in awe of his owner, the sour Master Horne. Life, by Grog's reckoning, is good. Then an enigmatic churchwoman enters his life, and Grog finds himself swept from the city which has been his entire world, to travel and learn amid as strange a group as he has ever seen. He knows nothing of the group's mission, just that his skills are necessary and the quest is "a good thing." But slowly, on this strange journey of both distance and spirit, Grog learns of the goal his new employer pursues, and its role in a troubled world. More importantly, he learns the value, and price, of freedom, and neither aspect is anything like what he imagined.

A fast-paced fantasy novel by the author of the popular Dream series (and 18 other novels), Grog takes the listener on a journey through an embattled Empire and a world in which things are seldom as simple as one expects.

loved the point of view of Grog

Good entertaining story. I loved being introduced to Grogs world through his eyes and world concept. This book left me wanting the sequel.

Good classic fantasy fun!

Great classic fantasy! Fun and funny. Like a good D&D adventure. Great characters. Quick plot that actually goes somewhere. Has the feel of the classic pulp magazine stories you’d find in Adventure or Amazing Stories back in the golden age!

Unique perspective in the fantasy genre

I’ve really enjoyed this perspective. The brute who accompanies and protects point of view is really refreshing. His simplistic views of things were really well written.

Great story, great performance

Really enjoyed the book, and the audio. I hope the sequel gets done someday. The Ebon Blades give a quality story.

Excellent story

Very well written and the narration was spot on. There are four books in the series, but only one on Audible unfortunately

A Very Pleasant Surpriss

The narrator does a great job on this, providing a voice for the protagonist that carries throughout the whole book in the prose. Grog is an interesting and thought-provoking read, as well. The entire thing is an interpersonal character study with its own living, breathing world to explore.

Top-tier indie novel, and the audiobook makes the whole experience even better.

A proper book of the old school

A fantastic journey of humor and edge riding from a perspective we could use more of!

Voice acting and narration are spot on

I originally read the book about a year ago and enjoyed the story and character development. Recently started listening to some audio books and the narration and voice acting added a whole new dimension to the story I hadn’t considered before. Top notch all around.
