Summary
Born in fire. Tempered in blood.
Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North.
In the remote villages of Southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving - a test of courage and skill that not all survive. But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war that has been raging for centuries.
There is no prophecy. His coming was not foretold. He bleeds like any man, and bleed he will.
Includes bonus story The Fall.

WOW you have another fan
This book gets a hold on you and you will have trouble putting it down. When I started it I was thinking it would be like any other fantasy book, but from the moment the story starts you are in the middle of everything!
Very well written and I am looking forward to all the rest.
I loved the whole book. Please don't stop writing.

the ending resonates with the phantom menace ( star wars)
not the greatest story. enjoyable. seems like it's clearly written with the intent to be a netflix script. Nice light read. the trouble is that there is absolutely nothing original in it.

Narrator far to Whiney !
Love the story by Ryan . Narrator is great when reading the story , describing places etc. But the character voices are awful. All sound the same and so whiny , Rist , Dan and Calen all sound like a pack of teenage girls. And it’s not the writing. It’s the tone the narrator uses . I certainly will be buying the physical copy of the second book as it’s annoying me too much

Old school fantasy at its best
This is a story reminiscent of Lord of the Rings which although borrowing from this epic it is done so with love and admiration. It does contain adult themes, violence etc but at its core is heart, family and adventure. I'm also told book 2 and book 3 are even better, so highly recommended

Outstanding
I enjoyed reading this so much I decided to listen to the Audible version and I was not disappointed.
Great plot, wonderful world building and brilliant characters. An example of high fantasy at its finest and it even came with a copy of the the prequel Fallen which Derek Perkins brought alive as only he can.
If you are looking for a new series to immerse yourself in then I can not recommend this highly enough.

A fantastic fantasy debut with excellent narration
I'll have a full review up on goodreads and my instagram (dublin_book_review).
This is a brilliant debut from a fantastic Irish novelist. I read the fall novella prior to reading this. It's an excellent blend of classic and modern fantasy elements. With intricate and powerful magic, an excellent cast of characters of all fantasy races, and story that while builds slowly. Is captivating and interesting. I'd reccomend this book to anyone, the fall is a ripping roller-coaster 90 minute battle that grabs hold of you and doesn't let go. Can't wait to check out book 2 this November. I'm very interested to see where this story goes

Really enjoyable book. Brilliantly narrated.
My first audio book from the Fantasy genre. Loved it! It was recommended to me by a friend. Can't believe that it is the author's debut novel, it is so polished and engaging. His descriptions have you 'in the scene' with the characters - a real testimony to his writing talents. Am looking forward to the next book in the series.
