Can a weapon forged in the darkness ever truly represent the light?

On the fringe of a war-ravaged Delnorian Empire, a mysterious sect harbours an unbelievable secret: an ancient prophecy foretelling the return of a legendary king who will usher in a golden age for humankind.

Amidst the chaos, Malina, a rebellious slave, is unwittingly thrust into the heart of destiny when she's sold at auction and taken to the Mountain of Souls—a dark, mystical place where her future becomes irrevocably entwined with the prophecy.

For if she can survive the deadly training that awaits, she’ll attain sufficient skills, knowledge, and power to join The Chosen, a fearsome cohort assigned to overcome the malevolent forces standing in the way of the king’s ascension.

Failure means certain death and even success will come at a terrible cost: a conscience stained by blood, deceit, betrayal and the sacrifice of her very soul.

But is it a price she’s willing to pay?

Listen, and you'll discover more than just Malina's tale … but the revelation of an astonishing plan spanning millennia, in which myths of the past influence the present to determine the future.

Enjoy this very much! The world building was top tier, main character was captivating, and the plot had surprises at every turn.

Great Read

Nobody to root for. Really nothing to recommend this book other than the narrator. I won’t give any spoilers. I can see why people liked it but really there are no redeeming characters. The end sets up the light bulb moment for redemption. The whole premise is brainwashed to support the dark side, followed by a bunch of books to fight the power and redeem the soul.

Did like any character in the book

Getting into this story, its set up as a universe and as a land is painted beautifully, definitely unique on its own. The story in living through the main character's eyes shows she has great things tied to her, and in the events of the story, it keeps one guessing about the overall achievement and goals of where the story will evolve into. It is definitely a very good story, the narrator conveying the right amount of emotions in the voices when needed. I've gladly enjoyed this story and look forward to the other two books.

Definitely a good story and strong listen

I found this book so hard to listen too , and stay focused on because of it’s narrator. I was hoping she wouldn’t be on the other books but she is. This might be why I don’t finish the series.
There is also a loud weird chime when a chapter ends. Very distracting and annoying.
Story line is mildly an action packed and fairly interesting but not a romantasy.

Decent story with a monotone narrator

Fun story great narration, but the charring noise sounds like a sewing machine dying super loud. It takes you right out of the whole thing. So bad I don’t know if I can buy the next book.

Good story good narration but what in love of god is that noise between chapters!!!!!!

From the beginning it’s crazy, I almost stopped but I’m glad I didn’t . I just finished the first book & starting the next one today. Definitely worth the time

New to dark fantasy , but I think I like it!

I would have liked a more conclusive ending. Felt like it just stopped abruptly. The main characters struggle felt real.

The struggle of right and wrong.
