Acerca de esta escucha
My name is Dagan. There are few alive with more blood on their hands than me.
I have lived a life of degeneracy. I have studied the teachings of the dark mage Helosis and walked the path of the dead. I have been to the shadowrealm and emerged with my soul intact. I have challenged the Black Brotherhood and ridden with the Knights of Valamor as a brother-in-arms. I have spoken to Xune.
I've killed indiscriminately - for money, for fame. For vengeance.
When I was young, I fell in love with a princess and was punished by her death. I have scampered, begged, and thieved. I have been homeless. I have ruled the greatest city ever built.
I began a succession war. I alone know who lifted the Seals of Regor - and how. I was there when magic was restored to this world. If I'd been born in a different age, I would have been the greatest sorcerer known to man.
My name is Dagan. This is my tale.

Betrayal cuts deepest when someone you love wields the knife. For Kellik, a once-rising star of Port Gloom's guild of thieves, it also leaves him floating in the bay, bleeding out and without hope or allies. Saved by an urchin and healed by a disgraced saint, Kellick is consumed by a single desire: to find out why his guild master ordered him cut down moments after passing his initiation trial. Burning with injustice, Kellik recruits a number of gorgeous rogues to his side: fallen assassins, dark elf witches, and unnervingly polite necromancers.

To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord.

Any additional comments?
I have to admit that I was expecting this to be pretty bad going in. But this book pleasantly surprised me, it was actually a decently written entertaining story. While not the best thing I've ever read in the Genre, it is a good debut novel, and I think any fan of fantasy will find it a fun read. And it only cost me $2, so it was worst the price without a doubt.I give it about 3.5 stars.
Pleasantly Surprised

I like the story I really do, but I can't finish it...How could the performance have been better?
A different reader. Any other reader. A computer generated voice even. I just couldn't take itGreat Story, but OMG the reader

The main issue I had was with the reader. For the two main characters. he chose a way of speaking that made it sound like they were making profound declarations with every sentence. every word. Everything was drawn out and over emphasized. And at times the sentences ran together. as if the reader were trying to get through them quickly by ignoring punctuation.
For all of the other characters, the reader's choice of voice and prose was fine. In fact, one of the problem characters often spoke in different accents as part of a disguise, and whenever he did the problem with that character's voice went away.
Of course, since its the two main characters I had an issue with, much of the book was actually kind of annoying to listen to. I would have rated this much higher if not for those two specific voices, which is a shame. Like I said, the rest were absolutely fine.
I think that when I continue this series, I'll do so on my Kindle. The story is good, and I enjoyed the way the main character's tale is presented.
Good story, not so good narration

Dramatic baratone voice.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The whole story was intriguing.Any additional comments?
I am constantly complaining of the choices audible makes when new releases come out. A lot of times, it becomes obvious my taste differs from the average reader/listener. I typically agree with the obvious stuff,( i.e."song of ice and fire"), etc. Then, there are book ratings I don't get at all,(i.e." Lies of Locke Lamora"). This book is not reflected fairly in the ratings it has recieved. It should be a solid 4 stars on anyone's rank. I chose 5 stars for the hidden gem aspect.With all that said, check my ratings and see if you agree with most of my choices and grab this title.I don't get you people!
