Publisher's summary
Sloane, sheltered, yet persistent, believes she’s capable, and longs for everyone to see past her disabled leg. Selling at Market Day unaccompanied is the chance to prove herself. But when she returns home to her village, she’s shattered to discover the Befallen has killed everyone. Having nothing but her faith in the goddesses of the moon, she’s forced to test her strength in the outside world. Sloane realizes the kingdom is dangerous even without the Befallen: full of thieves, thugs, and, worse, heretics.
Sloane is further shocked no one seems to know the entire legend, which promises a hero will defeat the Befallen. When she learns an order of knights have vowed to fulfill the legend, she’s determined to help them as she alone was taught that a weapon will be gifted from the seldom-seen goddess of the Azure Moon.
Sir Tolvar, a banished, famed knight, wrestling with the demons of his past, is skeptical. He’s reluctant to let Sloane join their cause until she convinces him that faith carries its own power.
As the two uncover the mysteries surrounding the Befallen—growing steadily stronger—an impossible task is thrust upon Sloane that makes her question everything...

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. 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.

Story
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.

Story
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.

Story
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.

Loved it
Wow. This book has many twists & turns & they start in the beginning. Everything Sloane goes through. At first like many who have lots a trials she is just happy to be alive & considers herself a bad luck charm. Thanks to Alvie (sp) who shows her that the has had bad luck too & bringing her on their wagon would not change anything. These two become inseparable like brother & sister. It a wonderful relationship see develop.
The Wolf who has his own horrors is looking for the Unsung. The unsung will defeat The Befallen whom is raving cities & towns & killing them where they stand, without bias. On this journey Sloane learns lots about herself, those around her, who to trust, & putting piece of the Edan Law Puzzle together. I also over the narrator the voices really brought the book to life but too often the voices were so soft that even with my phone all the way up I still couldn’t understand what was being said. I had to listen to it through a speaker that could play louder.
A great high fantasy book. I recommend to fantasy, & adventure lovers.

A Story of Moon Magic and Hope
This is a story of the moon, magic, hope, and love over evil. I love Sloane's character. She represents goodness and strength. She is relatable as she is on a journey of letting go of her self-doubts and embracing her inner strength. My favorite character might be Alvie. He is light-hearted and fun to be around. He isn't charismatic and attractive but humble, friendly, and a light to be around. I connected personally to William’s characters and felt close to them while reading. This story is an incredible read that I highly recommend.

Excited for the next book!
I loved The Lord of the Rings Series and Harry Potter, but I generally am not drawn to fantasy books. I have trouble with my eyes and reading the written word now days, and so rely on mostly audiobooks for my reading enjoyment. With that said, I have not read the Befallen paperback.
It was a slow go at first for me because I don't really go in for fantasy, but at some point I got into the story and the play between the characters. I appreciated Cambria not being afraid to get into the grittiness of Lord Tolvar. The war/fight scenes seemed real as well. Though I'll admit I was able to predict some of what happened, Cambria held some information back and was able to build suspense in the story. I am very surprised this is Cambria Williams' first book.
Ink Arnadine was a remarkable reader. Her voices were terribly good. The only thing difficult for me was she read rather slowly. Her pace was just a little bit slower than it ought to be. So in order to make it a more enjoyable read, I changed the speed to 1.2. Choosing a British reader was wise. It just wouldn't have worked with an American accent.
As I stated in the header, I am looking forward to Cambria Williams' next book in the series. At least I hope it's going to be a series!

An epic dark fantasy delivers on every level!
I loved reading this book when it came out a few months ago. The author's prose, characterization and worldbuilding is up there with the best of them. You'd never know this was Cambria Williams's debut fantasy novel. When I read it, I couldn't put it down. I was engrossed by everything the novel has to offer.
The audiobook is on another level. It matches the tone and feel that the novel accomplished. Ink Arnadine's voice as Sloane and the other characters in her journey is positively haunting. It feels almost ethereal in a way.
Check out The Befallen! You will not regret it.

inspiring!!
over and above the action and fantasy, this is a story about triumph over personal adversity. About not letting one's circumstances dictate their path. Ink Arnadine flawlessly brings out the nuances of the characters and the story

Cambria’s writing is exquisite!
I don’t like to give away much in a review, other than my overall opinion of the writing and the story, both of which were absolutely exquisite. A true character driven story with a beautiful world to accompany it! Cambria’s message to all of us is on of courage and honor and duty, but most of all, purpose. A message we all need at some point in our lives. This book is well worth the read! I hope you enjoy it much as I.
