Publisher's summary

Mighty warriors fight to save the realm from blood magic and evil, in this battle-soaked epic fantasy, from the hugely popular Descent games.

The once-glorious Barony of Kell is a ruin of its former self, assailed by banditry and famine; its noble Baron Frederic is caught between saving his people and defending his borders.

Yet worse is to come...for a new Darkness is rising. Sadistic warrior-priestess Ne'Krul, spying an opportunity to wreak bloody vengeance on behalf of her demonic masters, leads her Uthuk warband into a brutal invasion.

Kell's only hope lies in holy warrior Andira Runehand and legendary hero Trenloe the Strong, both drawn to Kell to defeat an alliance of evil unprecedented in Terrinoth. They must not fail.

Fun story to backdrop a board game

The performance of the narrator is good. However, he is featured in multiple books. Different characters across different books with same voices is off putting when you listen to them back to back.

A fantastic opening to a fantastic setting

This book is phenomenal. Emotionally driving, creatively inspired. more people should read Terrinoth novels. I hugely appreciate the setting and games (Decent, Runewars, etc) and this book does it justice and really makes the world feel alive. No punches were pulled and it felt like a bloody struggle doused in hope. My one criticism is that the narrator occasionally fails to give the weight a sentence or line might deserve, though his character voices are excellent.
