A breathtaking talent makes her debut with this first audiobook in a dark epic-fantasy trilogy, in which a mismatched band of mortals led by a violent, secretive man must stand against a pair of resentful gods to save their world.
Eons ago, a pair of gods known as the Twins grew powerful in the world of Fiatera, until the Divine Mother and Almighty Father exiled them, binding them deep in the earth. But the price of keeping the fire lands safe is steep. To prevent these young gods from rising again, all twins in the land must be killed at birth, a safeguard that has worked until now.
Trapped for centuries, the Twins are gathering their latent powers to break free and destroy the Parents for their tyranny - to set off a fight between two generations of gods for control of the world and the mortals who dwell in it.
When the gods make war, only one side can be victorious. Joros, a mysterious and cunning priest, has devised a dangerous plan to win. Over eight years, he gathers a team of disparate fighters - Scal, a lost and damaged swordsman from the North; Vatri, a scarred priestess who claims to see the future in her fires; Anddyr, a drug-addled mage wandering between sanity and madness; and Rora and Aro, a pair of twins who have secretly survived beyond the reach of the law.
These warriors must learn to stand together against the unfathomable power of vengeful gods to stop them from tearing down the sun...and plunging their world into darkness.

Then, somewhere near the middle, we find the twins young again being tunnel urchins under a city with no hint as to how this happened. Then, when they finally meet up with Joro, neither he nor they knew the other. It was as if somewhere during the recording of the story, they decided to change the beginning and forgot to delete the initial recording.
I enjoyed the story that was mostly eerily dark but the abrupt change in the story made understanding of the whole story itself frustrating and disappointing. Audible should consider editing the performance to adhere to a single genesis backstory.
Story inexplicably changes midway

Just no. The language and world building was good, much can be improved, as this book fell a bit flat.
Didn’t like a SINGLE character. Not one.
Nothing happens really in this story. Don’t recommend.
Slow, dragging, good narrator
