About this listen
In the land of monsters, you'll want her by your side. Nyrielle Tam - better known by her code name, Thorn - is a Dark Lantern sent undercover to a summit in the monstrous kingdom of Droaam. The beasts of Droaam have organized and want recognition from the kingdoms of Khorvaire. Breland attends to gauge its neighbors' reaction to the new state's demands of equality... and to take the opportunity to recover something long ago stolen by the mysterious Sheshka, Queen of the Medusas. It's up to Thorn to accomplish both, while keeping her King and Country out of war. The creator of the world of Eberron returns with a series that shows off Eberron's cross-genre capabilities - all the smarts and action of a spy thriller, with the magic and depth of world only fantasy can create. There's something here for every fan!

Story
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

Story
In the first chapter of this epic trilogy, the outcome of the historic War of the Ancients is forever altered by the arrival of three time-lost heroes: Krasus, the dragon mage whose great power and memories of the ancient conflict have inexplicably diminished; the human wizard Rhonin, whose thoughts are divided between his family and the seductive source of his now-growing power; and Broxigar, a weathered orc veteran who seeks a glorious death in combat.

A good story
In Ebarron, things are a bit different. These are not the characterizations that we all expect from reading the ecologies in the monster manuals. The author really brings the diverse characters in the story alive in ways that are unexpected and unique whatever their ‘monster type’ may happen to be.
Keith Baker is a fine storyteller, Well worth a listen.

Intrigue and more monsters
Overall I enjoyed the story. I might have been hampered by the time it took me to finish this one, but some of the twists just didn't feel like they fit, almost as if they were just there to get the protagonist out of something she was in over her head with. I'm starting to get Baker's "grotesque monsters are people too" theme, attributing selfless motivations and even dare I say love to them; something I've noted quite prevalent and unique to Eberron.The author showing what he really wants to of his official D&D setting beyond the geography.

Great story, the characters keep you locked in just to see what's next. The narrator's voice really does the books characters justice, she brought the story to life.

Fun action and intrigue-packed story
An imaginative mystery-adventure in the brilliant and robust setting of Eberron. I normally don't like assassin type characters but Thorn has some interesting facets to her and the supporting characters feel multidimensional as well. Offers a thoughtful view into the workings and culture of Droaam, the nation of monsters, creating for scenes like hydras fighting werebear trolls in forests of petrified armies. Keith improved greatly as a writer between this and the Dreaming Dark series.

Thoroughly enjoyed learning about Droaam. The Sisters are absolutely terrifying. This seemed much better written than the Dreaming Dark trilogy. Looking forward to the next book.

Good, but not as good as The Dreaming Dark
Title says it all. It was very enjoyable, and it's been great inspiration for my Ebberon campaign. But I still liked The Dreaming Dark more.

A Solid Eberron Book with Interesting Characters
I enjoy books set in the D&D or Ebarron worlds as long as they are well-written. It's not just the world that I like - the story and characters have to be engaging as well. I want a well-crafted story. Baker really built the world of Eberron, so he does a good job of fleshing it out on the written page, and this novel is pretty solid for what it is. It does start kind of chaotically, and the beginning was a little hard to follow. However, it does settle into a cohesive story that kept me interested. Like a lot of these genre books, it does try to cram a little too many elements into one story. But there is a good level of consistency that brought the book around to a satisfying conclusion in the end.
