Summary

The international bestseller and epic adventure

A fierce and merciless demon has been unleashed on the world, spreading destruction and bloodshed in both the human and the elven realms. Northlander Jarl Mandred witnesses the ruthless attack on his men, and he seeks vengeance with the help of the elf queen, Emerelle. Despite Mandred's barbaric human nature, the queen orchestrates an elfhunt joined by the two strongest warriors in Albenmark to pursue the beast. Farodin, the fiercest fighter in the land, and Nuramon, the healer, seize the opportunity to make history alongside Mandred in a life-defining series of battles waged in parallel universes.

The Elven is an epic tale, bringing heroes together across the boundaries of their worlds to avenge past losses and influence fates yet to be decided.

Interesting

Not my usual genre, but thought I would give it a go. On the whole, I enjoyed this book, but I did find it a little too long. For me it seemed to drag at times. The ending was a sad one, which never helps.

sometimes wordy but overall enjoyable

this story is long, the tone is that of a saga and is sometimes a little drawn out. However the story is overall enjoyable and worth the time.

Truly an epic masterpiece.

A hidden gem I stumbled upon and in few hours of listening, I hoped it will never end. I will listen it again after few years. Thank you for a story with true friendship, eternal love and courage.

Astonishing!

What an absolutely marvellous and epic tale!! I couldn’t wait to purchase the next instalment.
The quality of translation and narration were spectacular! I only hope the rest of the series receive equal translation! An epic to rival the likes of Lord of the Rings

Well worth a listen!

Beautiful epic fantasy mystery. A little slow at the beginning but a truly beautiful journey.

An awesome adventure

Loved the story and the twists. Elves always get me especially their rebirths.

The narrator is great but at times, the voices blend and I wonder who is speaking.

Lovely build up across time and how the beginning meets the end, or is that another beginning. Well. Better in audio than in paper back, although paperback comes with the smell I miss.

Long epic

Entertaining and inventive but the characters lack depth and there seem to me to be some serious logic flaws.
