Publisher's summary
For five long years the land of Homana had been strangling in the grasp of a usurper king—its people ravaged by strife, poverty and despair; its magical race, the Cheysuli, forced to flee or face extermination at the hands of their evil counterparts, the sorcerous Ilhini.
The time had come for Prince Carillon, Homana's rightful ruler, to return from exile with his Cheysuli liege man, free his land from the evil domination of the tyrant Bellam and his villainous magicians, restore the Cheysuli to their rightful position of grace, and claim his birthright. To do this, he would not only have to raise an army, but overcome the fear and prejudice of an ignorant population and answer the call of a prophecy he never chose to serve!

He was Tiger, born of the desert winds, raised as a slave and winning his freedom by weaving a special kind of magic with a warrior's skill. Now he was an almost legendary sword-dancer, ready to take on any challenge - if the price was right…or if the woman pretty enough. She was Del, born of ice and storm, trained by the greatest of Northern sword masters. Now, her ritual training completed and steeped in the special magic of her own rune sword, she had come South in search of the young brother stolen five years before.

It is an age when Valdemar is yet unfounded, its organization of Heralds yet unformed, and magic is still a wild and uncontrolled force. Skandranon Rashkae is perhaps the finest specimen of his race, with gleaming ebony feathers, a majestic wingspan, keen magesight, and sharp intelligence. Courageous, bold, and crafty, Skan is everything a gryphon should be. He is the fulfillment of everything that the Mage of Silence, the human sorcerer called Urtho, intended to achieve when he created these magical beings to be his champions, the defenders of his realm.

In this full-length novel written exclusively for audio, authors A. J. Hartley and David Hewson rethink literature’s most infamous married couple, grounding them in a medieval Scotland whose military and political upheavals are as stark and dramatic as the landscape in which they are played.

Scattered about the galaxy were the time-space Gates of a vanished but not forgotten alien race. In their time, long before the rise of the native civilizations, they had terrorized a hundred worlds—not from villainy but from folly, from tampering with the strands that held a universe together.
Now the task was to uproot these Gates, destroy their potency for mischief, take horror out of the hands of the few who hungered for power by misuse of the Gates.

plummy narration and unlikeable hero
I had to put this book down in the middle because I just couldn't listen to any more of it. With a different narrator, I probably would have at least finished, but Mr. Pinchot was not to my taste. The pacing was too slow and the voice too plummy.
As to the story, I read some of these books many years ago when they were first published and I was much younger. I recall liking them. Now that I'm fiftysomething, though, I just couldn't relate to the characters, particularly the hero.
I pretty much lost all respect for and interest in Carillon at the point when he decided on sight that he would "have" this woman, come what may. What's a little murder and forced marriage if you're feeling lusty, after all? Ugh. Not only despicable, but a very shallow characterization.

Like the story but not the narrator
I heard the fist book and was very much displeased with Bronson Pinchot reading. I wanted to see if it was just a bad reading and would improve. I will not be continuing my reading of the Cheysuli series. It's a good story and I like it, just can not listen to the way the narrator is sub par.
