About this audiobook

As winter ravages the Seven Isles, a barbarian drives into the depths to slay the fiends, or die trying. Svarde, with a warband behind him, brings his axes to bear on the monsters far below the surface. If he can find the fiend's source and stop their scourge, then all the hardship will have been worth it. If not, well, at least he'll get to sate his bloodlust one more time. Above, a charmer and a hunter scheme a way to save the Isles without so much blood, only a few knives in a few backs. As their whisper campaign grows, so does the threat of discovery, and what might happen if the wrong hands find the right magic. It's a race against time, against hearts and minds, and winning one might cost the other, as, far to the north, the Renewals press towards the next skar. Blizzards, fiends, and worse threats dog their steps, with any wrong move destined to leave them frozen in the drifts.

Eventually, spending time with podcasting, screenplays, short stories and other novels, he found a story he could fall into and a cast of characters both entertaining and full of heart. A.R. Knight plans on jumping through to other worlds and finding new stories to tell in the limitless borders of our imagination. View all by A.R. Knight
