About this listen

BOOK ONE OF THE ILLBORN SAGA

Long ago, The Lord Aiduel emerged from the deserts of the Holy Land, possessed with divine powers. He used these to forcibly unite the peoples of Angall, before His ascension to heaven. Over eight hundred years later, in a medieval world which is threatened by war and religious persecution, four young men and women begin to develop supernatural abilities. These forbidden and secret powers will shatter the lives that they have known, and will force each of them to confront the mystery of the ethereal Gate which haunts their dreams. What does the dream mean, and how is it connected to their burgeoning abilities? As they experience conflict, love, lust and betrayal, in lands which are being overtaken by war, they must try to stay ahead of and to survive the sinister forces which are now pursuing them. For they are being hunted…

Illborn is Daniel T. Jackson’s powerful and gritty debut novel, and is the thrilling opening chapter in the epic fantasy story of The Illborn Saga.

Really loved this story along with the character. Very eager to jump into the next book!

Fantastic narration to go along with a great book.

A good, solid fantasy story, tracking multiple characters and weaving in just enough magic to excite the imagination. Voracious consumers of fantasy literature may find the basic concepts and character arcs predictable, but the author’s pacing of the story, as well as the relatable character work make it all a fun and engaging ride full of highs and lows from beginning to end. If you’re looking for something new to try, and prefer a softer magic system with a focus on character work, I cannot think of a better book to recommend.

A Fun and Compelling Story

quality grimdark fantasy. this is the first book in a series that I can only hope gets enough traction to be able to continue.

fantastic start to a series

The book starts with an interesting story but it doesn’t last long. There’s a divide with the 4 MCs. Only 2 have any plot direction while the other 2 are just painful to listen to. I don’t think the author knows where he wants this story to go because it just seems to go in circles.

Not sure what the point was.

This is a meandering mess of awful. There's zero actual point to this and you should not read it.

Of this book has a plot, I never found it.
