Summary

Gen was a bard's apprentice, his nimble hands meant for the lute and his voice for a song. Then the half-mad and completely bored Shadan Khairn invaded Gen's village to winter there and start a war. He shoved a sword in Gen's hands and tormented his body, shaping a bard into a warrior to be killed for sport. As the days of torture pile up like the snow, Gen searches for death. But the day is at hand when the shattered shards of the world will knit together again, and the world's slain god will be reborn. The mighty Ha'Ulrich will be the father, the mysterious Chalaine the mother. In dangerous times the holy couple doesn't need a bard. They need a warrior. And Gen needs a reason to live.

Loved it

I had Not long started on audible, and as I'm not a huge reader was unsure of what interests me but took a risk. Found it was a great start. The narrator was brilliant as spoke in the first and third person not loosing me in the unfolding story to come. I got hooked instantly purchasing all further books before completing the first one. Would recommend it to anyone.

An engrossing yarn.

An orphan boy with personal charm and the gift of eloquence brings out the best and the worst in the people around him. Love stories like that when there's someone to root for.

If you like powerful protagonists like rand from wheel of time or rezkin from kings dark tidings, or Darrow from red rising, you will love this book.

Not bad, better than a lot of whats out there!

Any additional comments?

Taking all four books together, its not bad at all, its not a patch on the 1st law, or Demon Cycle, but its better than a lot thats out there. Only issue is the fact it is split into four books, is it really worth four credits? No! if this was one book, even two then I would have been much happier, as it is, its a bit off a rip off!
