About this listen

From the Drowning of the Earth, nations are born. Old fathers become kings. Early generations live for centuries. Later generations are dying younger. Giants roam. But the gods are weary of the wars of men. To banish war, they intervene. From the sons and daughters of men, they choose champions. To each champion, they give a peculiar gift, shared by no other. And upon each champion, they place also a peculiar mark, which no man can forge. By this all men know them, for they are Ringstraked. By rite of single combat they stand or fall, to thwart the avarice of kings and the cruelty of giants.

But to the east lies Babylon and the Giant King, Imrodin. There, he waits in the shadow of the Tower of Heaven. For the gods have torn the nations from his grasp. But he will not wait forever. To stop him, the King of Heth must raise an army carved of many nations. At his side is Isila, champion of Heth, the Woman of Stone. Together they march north to conquer Thrace, but first they must face the aging King Herapses and his champion, Casban, the Rider of Winds.

A good story, filled to the brim with fights and magic. It’s quite the saga with lots of character building. Sometimes it feels like an Aesop fable and is a bit matter of fact, but that soon disappears when the next fight comes along.
Well narrated with easily distinguishable character voices.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

“No man lives without regret”

I received this book via a promo code and this is my voluntary review.

Brian Keith McPherson uses the the age-old power of storytelling to weave a tale worthy of ancient texts to bring us this saga of Giants, glorious battles and Gods. The world building was rich and the strong characters skillfully brought to life by Guy Barnes made this an epic story.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

3.5 Stars.
