About this listen

An aggressive debt collector banished from the kingdom. Now his life depends on his ability to help the less fortunate....

Vireo Reinhold relishes collecting his monarch’s proper dues. Working hard to prolong and fund the king’s never-ending war, the self-centered official revels in the perks of luxury that come with his unorthodox role. But his world upends when he unearths an ancient spellbook that promises to unlock a shadowy, forgotten magic. Embroiled in a secret affair with a fellow noble’s wife, Vireo is mortified when he’s forced to commit an unthinkable act. Driven into exile, no longer able to coerce the vulnerable, and with the powerful tome in his enemy’s hands, the fallen agent’s only shot at survival hangs on his skills at saving others.

Can Vireo redeem himself as the people’s champion before they all fall to a sinister fate?

A Forest of Vanity and Valour is the dark first book in the Tales of Levanthria fantasy-retelling series. If you like fast-paced action, evil-to-good transformations, and classic stories with a twist, then you’ll love A.P Beswick’s ominous tale.

A.P Beswick created an amazing piece of literature, which I can get lost in the story and fantasy he created. Loved the story and can’t wait to start the second book

Fantasy masterpiece

I was engaged and enjoying, however it feels like the ending was for me unsatisfactor.. could be longer by 2 or 3 times. The world-building is good, and the plot pacey

Feels like an intro

A darker, more thought about storyline for a classic story that takes your imagination on a journey through mystic and gruesome times

Great twist on a classic

So I’ve followed Beswick on instagram for quiet a while and loved the idea of all his books out thus far but being dyslexic as hell, I knew there was no point, wasn’t until a few weeks ago I decided to check it they were an audiobook.

My god am I glad I check. This twist on Robin Hood was phenomenal. I won’t lie I did get lost a bit in the first few chapters but regardless. By chapter 3 I was hooked. Vireo being a potentially one of my favourite fantasy characters sing Aragon, it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with Lec & Gillam ( apologies if I butchered the spelling ) I’ve just got the second part of the series about to start that one now.

Already recommended this to a few fellas at work and I am aware that 2 are currently listening to them now. If you’re a fantasy loving nerd who loves to trip, stumble and fall deep into a world away from our own. This book is for you. Amazing.

Phenomenal

Took a while to get used to the writing style and the 1st person perspective. But after the first hour or so, I stopped critiquing and thinking that there were so many extra words that could have been edited out and the story gripped me from then on in. Well worth a listen.

Definitely a grower

Scratched an itch I didn't know I had.
The storyline felt fresh and captivating while also leaving me with a feeling of nostalgia.

Masterful Storytelling
