Publisher's summary
The idyllic kingdom of Parisia sat nuzzled securely into massive basin in the Great Emerald Mountains. The kingdom was protected by the Darkstone, which blessed the kingdom with generations of peace and prosperity. When the elder dragon Darka Mors steals the Darkstone, the entire realm is shaken. Desperate, the King calls on a group of Seekers led by the Disgraced Knight Vale Lox.
To save the realm and everyone they have ever known from the rising shadows of darkness, the team of misfits must survive hostile lands, enemy armies, unspeakable monsters, and each other. With each member motivated by different goals, can they learn to trust each other and work together? Or will their differences bring about their downfall, and the ruin of all?

In the ruins of the world that was lies the city of Dios, a haven protected from the hostile environment known as The Outlands. Ruled by an oppressive Patriarch, the people of Dios are conditioned in fear. The smallest infraction could result in banishment to the Outlands, a fate worse than death. With his make-shift family of “Undesirables”, Jett Lasting struggles to find his place in a world where drawing attention to yourself can get you killed. His very existence is considered a crime.

Story
In the blink of an eye, a wiki editor’s deep and somewhat unhealthy understanding of a game becomes useful, usable knowledge when he inexplicably replaces the once-cruel royal bastard. Before he can start to push his frail body to use his deep understanding of the lore to handle the imminent apocalypse, or go off to stop an invasion, there’s a more personal task he needs to handle first. His cousin has a knife in her hand, and death in her eyes.

Story
Eric was as shocked as everyone else when the apocalypse struck, but unlike his mother's movie, there were no chosen heroes destined to fight the beast hordes now overrunning the planet. Just people trying desperately to survive. Yet there was a glimmer of hope that humanity could hold on to. A chosen few really could level up in this brave new world, and embrace magic, adventure, and the potential for limitless power!

Story
If there's one thing dragons fear, it's a kraken. Even lowly hull-scrubber Zee Tarrow knows that. Like everyone on the island kingdom of Tosh, he grew up frightened by fables and horrible tales of the great beasts of the deep. It seems an odd thing to impress upon the children of the realm, because–luckily for the dragons and their riders–no one has seen a kraken in a thousand years.

He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Wonderful Adventure
This was a 5 out of 5 star read for me! As soon as you start you’re whisked away on an adventure. I’m currently having withdrawals from finishing this book. The way the characters are written they are easy to love and to hate (IYKYK 😒) . It’s hard to pick one character that I loved the most because they were all such an integral part of the journey. Saying good bye at the end was hard 🥺. This book will give you all the feels. I cried, I laughed, I gasped, I had many mini heart attacks. You will be living on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The amount of creativity that went into this book was phenomenal. Hands down Tyler created an epic journey for his readers.
Thank you to the Narrator for bringing these characters to life. His voice was so soothing and creating a different voice for so many different people was amazing! Oh and don’t get me started on RIVIKS songs! That was super special 👏🏽👏🏽
I hope you choose this book for your next fantasy adventure.

loved this audiobook
Sam Legg is a wonderful narrator who manages to give clear differences in the personalities and manners of speech in each character. I have found some audiobooks monotone or flat in the past but this one was certainly not that case,I enjoyed it and look forward to more audiobooks from Legg.

High Fantasy. Entrancing Narration.
Truly. It was a wonderful change of pace from the romances I've been reading. Fantasy is one of my favorite genres and this hit the nail on the head. It was fantastic. Easy to follow story line. Great world building. Great characters. I laughed at the character's wit and banter.
The narrator was excellent. The voice inflections on the characters was wonderful and he really captured the immersiveness of the story.
I'd gladly listen to him narrate future novels by this author.

such a great fantasy
This was action packed and full of adventures and battle. I really liked the ragtag band of travelers, the epic quest, the dragons, and the way that they each had their own purpose that lead them to the same place. The way the author interwove their paths throughout the story without giving too much away was really well done. There were some twists and betrayals that I just did not see coming! A great new book to check out!

Amazing narrator!
2nd read (audiobook): the narrator did an amazing job reading this story! I enjoyed this book even more the second time through.
1st read (e-book): I really enjoyed this book. It was action packed with lots of funny banter. Of course, it had dragons but also elven, witches and a royal family. The quest was unique and a lot of different characters introduced along the way. Overall I thought it was good - some missing pieces but with the budding romance between two characters I feel those parts will be explained in a second book!

An EPIC fantasy—I’m taking NO criticism! 😤
This was such an incredible story. It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book that has evoked so many feelings in me. I laughed, I almost cried, I was shocked, I felt betrayed…there were so many emotions that I went through when listening to this.
The journey in this book was amazing. All the characters were so well written and the story took me on an adventure that had me gripping the edge of my seat the whole time. Edwards does an awesome job at painting vivid pictures throughout the whole book that you can’t help but feel like you are right there with the whole crew. It was fast paced and FAR from predictable. I came up with theories upon theories only to get them smashed to pieces within the next few pages.
And the characters! They were all SO courageous and funny—the banter between them was hilarious and I couldn’t help but fall in love with each one of them. Of course there were the characters that served as villains, but even those were fun to hate. Grom and Rivik have my heart forever 🥹
Don’t even get me STARTED on the performance of Sam Legg, the audiobook narrator. It felt like he was made to tell this story and the energy that he brought into this made the book that much more entertaining and special.
If you’re into fantastical creatures along with epic journeys and the found family trope, I highly recommend you give this book a try. You will not regret it. You might find yourself reading one of your favorite books of all time. 10 outta 10 would reread again.

Thrilling
Wow what an epic journey! People with different skill sets forced to be together by decree of the king. some brought on along the way. Working to save a nation, fighting all manner of creatures, plus also being hunted! This High Stakes Fantasy is captivating, Vale & Calean are my favorite characters. Im looking forward to the second book.
I highly recommend to those who love fantasy, high stakes, adventures, dragons, and magic!
If this was turned into a movie it might be rated R just for gore lol. Descriptive wise there is not a ton of gore but when you think back about just how much killing there is, It’s definitely up there. Great character development! Wonderful moving storyline & lots of action.
I was able to read the book before the audible version came out and so being able to hear all the characters come to life was just amazing and wonderful and I think it works out really really well. The Narrator does a great job at burying voices for everybody and making it feel like the characters are there with you.

What a journey!
At first, I wasn’t sure that I would enjoy the single narration of this book. I had been listening to mostly dual or duet style narrations for a while.
I was so wrong. Sam's performance was awesome!
The story, the characters, I thoroughly enjoyed it all. ❤️😊

Feels like you're in a book/scene
I am absolutely blown away with Tyler’s world building in Shadows of The Realm. I enjoyed every part of this book, from start to finish. This is a huge book filled with tons of quests and an awesome adventure along the way!
The narrator sounds amazing in this audiobook! The way that the book was depicted was *chefs kiss to me. I felt like it brought the book to life for me. I truly felt like I was in the book/scene or watching a movie/show. The way the book was read captured the essence of the voice, era, and the story. It was a really good choice.
Sometimes you end up with an audiobook where the narrator doesn't match the character, and that can really make or break the story. This was really not the case, and even made me want to pull out the reader and read alongside the narrator!
Tyler Edwards’s novel introduces us to the world of Parisia and to our 5 main characters that we follow. The King has formed and has sent out a group of “seekers” to reclaim the Darkstone. The group consists of 5 people. What you would think would be a group of noble and powerful people, you are left with misfits. We have Vale, who is known as the Dark Knight (grumpy if you want to add that into the mix, ha!), Caelan the thief, Azalea the witch, Dante the alchemist/wizard, and Celeste the noble/royal/princess. Each one of these characters have a story to tell, which is great about them. Even though we have them as the main characters, we are later joined by several side characters. Some may find this confusing, but to be honest I think it made it a lot more fun!
I feel like there were times when some characters were meant to make you want to dislike them or hate them, and Tyler made me feel exactly that. What I like about this fantasy story, is that it is far from the typical romantasy that is out at the moment. This book has enemies to friends, all over it. I could be wrong, but I was also getting newfound family vibes. I like that it is highly driven by adventure and its quests. I like that we are focused on building more on each character and their foundation as people, individuals, as a group, and newfound family. I want to say minus Celeste, but maybe she has a purpose of being the nasty person that she is (like I said, unlikeable, ha!).
Let me tell you that when these characters banter, they BANTER. It was probably what made part of the book most enjoyable. It was having to put a set of people together who can’t help, but want to kill each other, only to realize that they need each other. This book gave me Red Rising and the Witcher vibes, and to me that’s an A++ This book was magical, it was enticing, it had creatures, adventure, quests, unlikely heroes, and epic fantasy. I felt like I was not only in the book/scene, but playing a game at the same time. You don’t get many books that make you feel like you’re interacting with it at the same time.
This book is up my alley, and I truly couldn’t have found a perfect book to add to my 5 star 2024 list! I can’t wait to read the next installment.

GROM HAS MY HEART - & SO DOES THIS BOOK!
WOW!
There is a true gift of going into books blind. The suspense of not knowing what you're going to get is always a rush.
I jumped into Shadows Of The Dark Realm head first and I have to say, Sam Legg did a PHENOMENAL job bringing each character to life for this book as the narrator. It takes a gifted individual to have the ability to transition from each character gracefully and keep the reader engaged.
With Tyler's writing, and Sam's narration, there were several moments that I forgot I was reading/listening. I felt like I was watching a movie! The perfect duo to captivate the reader and have them completely escape into another world.
That my friend is GREAT narrating. Sam could read the ingredients of on a cereal box and I would be down to listen!
If this book is not on your TBR yet - what could you possibly be waiting for? ADD IT & I HIGHLY suggest reading it with the audible. The experience was 100x better than a solo read. Prepare for a quest that will change the world forever. Be well friends <3
