Summary

Legend. Myth. Nightfall has long been rumored to be nothing more than whispers on the breeze.

If only it were so. In those halls of darkness, where children are taken from the world and given to shadow and dust, Asher is destined for that same fate. He will become the myth. He will become the legend. He will become the whisper of Death itself.

That which he was is dead; forgotten. Now he is a blade in the dark, a weapon to be wielded by his masters. A killer.

Yet, despite all his training and years of spilling blood, there is a crack in Asher’s conditioning. Something within him is broken, unbound even. A sliver of humanity has survived and dreams of freedom. Now, standing on a knife’s edge, his mind threatens to unravel, taking him from the only path he has ever known and away from the clutches of Nightfall.

It has never been done. Exile is not a choice. It is a death sentence.

But there is another life that calls to him, a life roaming the wilds and protecting the innocent from the monsters which would prey upon them. Hunting monsters, however, is no easy task, especially when Asher himself is hunted by those who would drag him back to Nightfall.

Back to the darkness.

Non stop action

Thoroughly enjoyed this, the action is fast paced, diverse and a few twists and turns thrown in for good measure. Highly recommended.

Well read. Good story line.

An enjoyable listen. Asha has had a troubled past. Looking for redemption he finds the rangers. Not all though is at it seems. I found myself drawn to wanting the best for Asha. To best the bad guys. I’m definitely going to listen to the next volume.

Like a pair of comfortable shoes

Asher without doubt was the best character within the previous chronicles. This further exploration of his past is a very welcome addition and doesn’t disappoint. Fast paced and with some good plot twists thrown in. A very welcome and comfortable addition to the series can’t wait for the next book !

brilliant, simply brilliant

I love the work of philip, Asher is such an interesting character. I thought his story was to progress as a sequel to the previous saga. I hadn't guessed it would be a prequel. just simply brilliant. Steven Brand again brings a book and the characters to life. fantastic work.
