About this listen

The first in an exciting new series of heroic fantasy novels, Zachareth explores the past of one of Descent: Legends of the Dark's most notorious villains

Zachareth, Baron of Carthridge, is a driven, ruthless, and obsessive man—a man who could be a hero, but he wants so much more. Having watched his father fall under the sway of a sorceress, Zachareth grows up craving knowledge and power. When his tutor at Greyhaven introduces him to forbidden magics, Zachareth discovers there is more to power than meets the eye.

As he returns home to a barony on the verge of rebellion and beset by necromantic foes, Zachareth must choose his true path—the path of virtue and heroism, or that of darkness and villany; the line between the two is finer than most imagine.

Quite simply, it's great. A deadly and layered rise to power is appropriate for a character of this much weight in Terrinoth lore. Performance is powerful, sometimes a hint too intense but overall excellent. I will be reading this more than once!

Solidly okay. Not as good MacNiven's other works but not bad. Good for a long car ride.

Meh.
