About this listen

In this epic fantasy, a man and his fae allies confront Goblins seeking to restore their race to power.

Locked in an eternal Autumn, Airlann, the Source Isle of Magic, is dying. Nearly a millennium earlier, the last of the Goblin Kings were assassinated. Now a fanatical army of Goblins known as the Red Caps are determined to bring their bloodline back to the throne via an heir whose identity is a deeply guarded secret.

Padric, a human cast aside as cursed by his own people, travels alongside the alluring piskie Rosheen, his lifelong friend. As the Red Caps wage war, Padric and Rosheen find themselves in midst of the battle, having allied themselves with the unlikeliest of creatures: Deglan Loamtoes, a healer gnome, and Pocket, an orphaned changeling fostered by the avian Knights of the Valiant Spur.

Soon this ragtag posse of wayfarers is confronting skin-changers, bloodthirsty marauders, and fire-crazed fanatics—determined to discover the true identity of the long-lost heir before the Red Caps release forces powerful enough to destroy Airlann once and for all. But is this band of unlikely heroes strong enough to stand against the descendant of the dreadful Goblin Kings?

since nobody has written a review yet, I suppose I should. This is a solidly written fantasy based loosely around celtic faerie mythology. it is light and unchallenging fare.
The performance is very good. The pronunciation of towards as "towerds" is jarring, but I am assuming that this is an affectation contained in the text, as the narrator can pronounce the words warlock and watch.
Overall... entertaining, but nothing special.

solid well written fantasy
