    About this audiobook

    Drew Karpyshyn has made his mark with imaginative, action-packed work on several acclaimed videogames, including Mass Effect and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, as well as in a succession of New York Times bestselling tie-in novels. Now Karpyshyn introduces a brilliantly innovative epic fantasy of perilous quests, tormented heroes, and darkest sorcery—a thrilling adventure that vaults him into the company of such authors as Terry Goodkind, Brandon Sanderson, and Peter V. Brett.

    Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy—a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

    Now the Legacy is fading. On the other side, the banished Daemron stirs. And across the scattered corners of the land, four children are born of suffering and strife, each touched by one aspect of Daemron himself—wizard, warrior, prophet, king.

    Bound by a connection deeper than blood, the Children of Fire will either restore the Legacy or bring it crashing down, freeing Daemron to wreak his vengeance upon the mortal world.

      The pace of this novel was fast and to the point. Sometimes it feels a bit rushed as if the author was required to get things done in a certain amount of words, but the characters are interesting, the storyline fluid, and the world the story takes place in is well constructed and explained.

      Incredible fantasy story full of magic mages monsters and minions
    • 4/5
      Its no Sanderson novel, but it was interesting none the less. A solid B-list book, worth the listen. I'll be finishing the trilogy.
    • 5/5
      Very slow to start off with but once you get into it I think it’s great
    • 4/5
      It’s a good story but be ready for an imperfect recording. At the beginning there are several 20 second gaps of silence and then the recording picks up but you never hear what was said in the 20 second gap.
