About this listen

In a world of magical power, merciless evil, and eternal darkness, the only light worth fighting for is the light you can never let die . . .

In Underland, hope has nearly been extinguished. There is no sky, only endless stone above. All things living and undead exist under the dominion of the Dark Lords, whose power is all but unlimited and whose evil is all but eternal.

Sorcerer Valdemar Verney is not one of them. The last of his line, Valdemar has devoted himself to locating his grandfather’s realm, a legendary place called Earth, where there is air and vibrant life, and where a sun shines in a blue sky. His latest attempt to uncover the way to Earth is thwarted, however, when the cunning Dark Lord Och captures him—not to imprison him, but to nurture Valdemar’s untrained yet formidable talents for his own ends.

As Valdemar learns more than he ever dreamed possible, Och’s loyal and lethal swordmistress, Lady Reynard, is on her own quest for knowledge about Valdemar’s true heritage and brutal past, which he has thus far kept hidden—even from himself. But the more the sorcerer and swordswoman discover, the closer they come to unearthing an awesome truth that will either usher the world into a new era of light or plunge it into the darkest terror . . .

The first volume of the hit dark-fantasy series—with more than 800,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Well written, engaging and entertaining

Found this after finishing (and completely LOVING) the 'perfect run' series written by the same author as this series. Although this books general story type isnt as appealing to me as that one was, it still had all the same traits and aspects that make a good story IMO. Void Herold seems to have a knack for creating solid, likable, complex characters and writing good dialog to go along with them. The plot is very interesting and puts a unique spin on a very common genre. What i like the most about this author so far from what I've seen of him is he has a special way of creating a serious plot and writing all the ups and downs that go along with it in a humorous kind of way without detracting from the severity of the overall situation. He doesnt surpass that fine line from humorous to silly or stupid but is able to keep the book from getting too dark and keeps things lighthearted. Glad i got this, you should too

A Great Dark Fantasy

I was under the impression this was LitRPG based series based on the suggest for the book, to me, it is not… However it was a fun read/listen either way.

I was happy to discover that the MC’s secret don’t just stop at what could have been the high point in the book, its has a somewhat slow start but it’s didn’t abruptly end leaving you hanging but left just enough for an appropriate ending and left me wanting more !

I would suggest the series and will happily be picking up book 2.

Really like the narrator Tim Campbell

Shaping up to be maxime’s best series yet

I enjoyed this book even more than the first final run book, which is definitely in my top ten. Hopefully there will not be a long wait for the next.

Very excited to hear the rest of the series

Strange that no one mentioned that the lore seems heavily inspired by Bloodborne. Story reads like an occult detective, but action scenes are done very well. Narration is perfect. Give this story a shot. I also greatly enjoyed Perfect Run by the same author, although they aren't of the same genre.

Underdark

Everytime something gets an explanation or whenever something gets described it almost always turns out worse then it looked at first, despite that so many characters turn out dang near chippy or come off as more playful or joking then serious or depressed I loved it

Excellent Lovecraftian story with immense world building

I loved this story, although ended in media res, so I can’t wait for Underland 2 to come out in December and see the story brought to its conclusion!! It’s killing me not knowing whether Lord Och is fully evil or actually kind of good. (Or at least pro-humans)

Echoes of a familiar story with good writing

A well written book. Definitely not what I was expecting though. Worth the time and gore.
