Sagas of Vaelora: Burrow and the Blade
Epic Fantasy (YA 12 - 18+)By Desmond Robertson
Length27h 43m
About this audiobook
Fifteen centuries have passed since Merris Brightpaw drove her blade through the heart of darkness beneath the Burrowlands. Her deeds echo in tavern songs, her sword rests in sacred stone—yet something stirs in the deep places where light fears to tread.
Babax Merrifur seeks nothing more than answers when he volunteers for his family's westward expedition.
Merris herself haunts his dreams now, her ghostly warnings sharp as the blade she once wielded. Around him gathers a fellowship marked by shadow and flame—warriors bearing scars from forgotten battles, wanderers who speak with the voices of the dead, and allies whose very souls burn with otherworldly fire. Together they walk a path that leads beyond family loyalty and into the realm where prophecies take flesh and legends bleed.
The blade rose once to save the world. But can a merchant's son wield what a hero forged when the truth he seeks may destroy everything he holds dear?
