About this audiobook
Book One of The Weight of True Things
The road goes quiet before the killing starts.
When Shattered Souls pour out of the lowlands and descend on his family’s farm, Caelen Ardyn does what he was trained to do. He stands beside his father and holds the line.
But steel is not enough.
As the fence breaks and his father falls, Caelen reaches for a forbidden token meant to remain untouched. The magic answers. In a single night, he slaughters nearly a hundred creatures and saves everyone inside the farmhouse.
By dawn, he is no longer just a son or a swordsman. He is a transgressor.
The Ordathi Seal arrives with judgment and chains. To preserve his family’s honor, Caelen must face his own father in ritual combat before surrendering himself to custody. The law is clear. Forbidden magic demands consequence.
Yet something is changing in the world. The rifts are widening. The monsters are coming in greater numbers.
And the Seal may soon need the very power it condemns.
