About this audiobook
Travel to the Burgdale valleys in a sweeping romance that inspired the landscapes of modern high fantasy. The story details the alliance between the dalesmen and the "sons of the wolf" as they unite to drive out a horde of Huns threatening their peaceful existence. With its detailed descriptions of clothing, architecture, and the natural world, the novel builds a fully realized setting that feels both historic and mythic. It is a celebration of the simple life and the courage required to defend it.
