About this listen

Every city has its dangers. But in the city of Embrenil, the thieves steal eyesight as well as coin. No one knows why its citizens are being mystically blinded. Is it merely a way to make victims easier to rob? Or are these blindings part of a greater conspiracy? With no leads and options limited, the Embrenil Civic Police enlist the aid of four supernatural individuals to solve the case and combat the dark powers of the Mystic Mafia. This first volume in the series introduces a team like no other as they seek answers, get wrongly accused, get drunk, get lucky, fight undead assassins, protect a vain beer baron, battle powerful theurges, fall from high places, and learn the secrets that threaten the entire city. In a world where anything is possible, the truth becomes harder to find.

This is the first volume in the Four Winds-One Storm saga.

This was a really great first book in a series!Thrown together in a town after a murder,four 'people' come together as a team to track down who is blinding people.They become ao much more. Steve Vito was a wonderful narrator.I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

Enter a new world,, "yeh heard that one before" but in this world, possibly eons to the future, or just in the mind of Author Aaron Hollingsworth. Written in a way we can focus ourselves in each of the characters, without being Tolken sculpted into his world but left to our own imaginings, I don't write but feel multiple direction the author could take each character. Being an avid Audio book fan, that makes for good times, as I already want to know where they go next. The narrator Steve Vito, did a great job lending voice to each, I am not always a fan of this type of narration, however it worked, I can hear as I write this, the characters echoing in my mind. Great book Jim

I really loved the narrator Steve Vito, his range of voices is amazing and I know who is who without having to be told. So much easier to just listen when you know that. Also he does the female characters really naturally and well.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the story. I wasn't sure what to expect when I chose it but the blurb sounded interesting. It vastly exceeded my expectations. I loved all the twists and turns and finding out about the characters and watching them build their relationships. The different species (can I call them species?) are brilliant. The world building is great, enough to know where you are and what's going on but not overwhelming enough to pull you out of the story. Like any book it did take a little while to settle into the book and the characters, but once I had I was hooked. I'm hoping that there is another to follow this as it feels like there could be.

Excellent story, fabulous narration

This is a mix of scifi Western, Japanese Shogun and the Mafia. A group of mercenaries are pulled together, each with special fighting abilities and powers. They are up against a powerful master criminal. There are plot twists and turns with lots of action. The premise is good but could have benefitted from further editing to tighten up the plot and dialogue. A decent start to a series with good narration.

The characters are a well developed and the four main characters were all unique and able to use their own special talents to help the team as a whole. The author created great character from his own head, which he was able to developed without leaving the reader lost and confused nor with excessive exposition.

I really wanted to like this more than I did unfortunately.
Whilst it was narrated well with some good character voices and the story has a lot of potential, I just found it a little magic heavy (ie. there’s a magic skill owned by someone to counter absolutely anything thrown their way!) and too much to take onboard in this alternative universe where everything needs overly explaining.
The overall plot is pretty cool and should appeal to all adventure fantasy fans, but I couldn’t figure out whether it was YA or not... it goes a long time almost like a children’s book using swear alternatives, then suddenly there’s some expletives thrown in... unfortunately it felt like a pick and mix selection where some off all the sweets had been chosen and thrown in rather than just a few of my favourites.
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

Magic, adventure & plenty of action.
