This is a stand-alone novella set before the events of Revenant Winds.

From Mitchell Hogan - Aurealis Award winner and author of the Sorcery Ascendant Sequence.

Niklaus, master swordsman, has not aged a day since being chosen by his mercurial goddess. A slave to her will, he moves from one cryptic mission to the next in the hope of ascending to become her equal.

But even a man who has lived for centuries can sometimes find himself out of his depth.

When Niklaus is sent to kill a sorcerer of the Tainted Cabal, overconfidence leads to a fatal mistake, and neither experience nor skill with a blade can prevail against the forces unleashed against him.

I've never read Mitchell Hogan. There are so many fantasy-oriented authors who have an epic series that it's easy to become overwhelmed. They all seem to bleed together with similar sounding titles and majestic cover art. This is why I like the novella format as it gives the listener/reader a good sense of style and character before committing to a grand adventure with an author. "Tower of the Forgotten" introduces interesting characters who inhabit a world with a developed sense of rules for magic and deities. I'll definitely read more of Hogan's work.

I really enjoyed the subtle and character-diverse narration of Oliver Wyman. A perfect pairing for Hogan's writing.

A fun prequel to a broader epic

This could be good. How long do we have to wait to find out?

Well I'm ready for the main course, this story was a wonderful appetizer for The Tainted Cabal series. I can see there will be my main ingredient for a good story, and that's interesting characters. Just enough here to spark an interest in Niklaus, (master swordsman and assassin for a mysterious goddess) and a side character to hopefully see again, Sly Diamond (yep, that's what he calls himself) the thief that added a touch of comic relief.
Assassins, thieves, demons, sorcerers, swordplay and goddesses. Looks to be a good start, and with the great narration of Oliver Wyman, you can't go wrong.

Really wets the appetite
