About this listen

No armies march. No generals marshal their troops on some distant battlefield. Yet the people of Entarna are at war.

And they are losing.

The nightwalkers have returned, creatures that roam the darkness searching for anyone foolish or unfortunate enough to find themselves without light to protect them. And the people of Entarna carry lanterns and torches, wielding them as shields against the night's creatures.

But sooner or later all lights fade. All flames go out.

Torrik and his wife were once soldiers in the war against the Dark. But when their son Alesh was born, they left that life behind them in the hopes of keeping him safe. But Alesh is no normal child, and Torrik will be forced to learn a hard truth.

Mortals plan. Mortals hope. And the gods laugh.

Finding themselves in the center of a conspiracy threatening the entire realm, Torrik and his wife must try to become the people they once were, people they'd thought they'd left behind long ago.

For when all lights go out...darkness reigns.

The Forging of Dawn is the prequel book to The Nightfall Wars, a new series by Jacob Peppers, the author of the best-selling epic fantasy series, The Seven Virtues. The Nightfall Wars is a dark fantasy series in the tradition of Joe Abercrombie, Brent Weeks, and David Gemmell.

Jacob Peppers paints with a dark brush in this story, but not so much as to obscure the subtle beauty of his words. Words Derek Perkins so skillfully brings to life.

There is poetry in the Prose.

The story was predictable at points, but was still exciting to read. It was an obvious beginning to possibly greater things. Lots of room to grow.

Excellent Beginning to Possibly an Epic Adventure

when I started this book it was right after I finished another type of book gender and I wasn't sure if I were going to stick with it but the story got interesting and it's Lefty with a cliffhanger what is going to happen to this boy so I give it four stars to make me by the other book the next book

it a start

Can't wait to listen to the rest of his books. Highly recommend if you are into fantasy and other imaginary worlds that pull you right into the story.

Excellent!@

The fight between light and dark is a boring trope of fantasy, but Peppers made it interesting with his characters.

Will definitely check out this series.

Enjoyed this one

pretty good

I have not listened to the entire series this far, only the novella. I very much enjoyed it and hope to enjoy the series as much, should it be as well written. Being a light in the darkness is old symbolism, but I've never seen it taken this literally.

An enjoyable short story

short but sets up an interesting story

Love Jacob Peppers’ work and Derek Perkins does an awesome job narrating. This prequel nicely sets up the backstory for what comes in The Son of Morning. I’m off to listen book two in the series now!

Keep up the great work Mr. Peppers!

Awesome Prequel
