Summary
Seventeen years ago, a long and bloody rebellion wracked the six united regions of the Kingdom. Now the new King wields the vast and unvanquished army of Midlan with his right hand, and with his left has granted a small group of thugs, the nobles he calls his Sovereign Five, unbridled rule over the other regions. As if this weren't bad enough, the King has also outlawed the practice of whispering - which is a problem for Kael.
It's not like he asked to be born a whisperer: He didn't ask for his strange healing powers any more than he asked to be the village runt. And when he rescues a wounded girl from the perils of the Unforgivable Mountains, his luck only gets worse. She couldn't have been just any girl: She had to be Kyleigh - the sword-wielding renegade knight with all of Midlan on her trail. Then one miserable, snowy evening, things go from bad to worse, and Kael is left with no choice but to follow Kyleigh down the mountains and into the tumultuous lowlands. She leads him on one mad quest after the next - eventually pulling off an act of such mischievous proportions that it threatens to change the Kingdom as they know it.

Average standard fantasy
Pretty standard predictable fantasy. Lead character kale is quite annoying, a sullen moody 17 year old, love story with him and dragon girl (400 years old) is frustrating with her also acting like a teenager. It's ok, but I'm not interested in listening to the rest of series as I know what will happen already! Have just listened to age of iron and clash of iron which are great books, amusing and intriguing and a complete contrast to this inane drivel

I love the world that the author created, wish her a lot of success and hopefully we will see it on a tv screen some day.

An enjoyable and engaging listen
I’ve read this series before and loved it. But I’ve been using audio books for the last few months. The narrator was great and told a wonderful tale that flowed nicely. No problems recommending this book and series.

Fun fantasy, bit too much emotion for me... :)
Great book but the story hangs a bit too much off the emotional tie between two characters, it's like watching your favourite series carry into another season with the story arcs never quite closing... Shae has more than enough craft and creativity so it's just a teeny bit frustrating. I enjoyed the book though and escaped into hours of well written story. I definitely recommend it old fantasy fans. One more thing to mention while I think about it, the scenes which include our red headed hero were often an anti climax the way they were described, there is very little explanation about how the magic works so it's difficult, at least for me, to paint the picture fully, I've just bought the second book though, so hoping it's just a case of stringing me along :)

Narrator is awful
The male protagonist sounds like a girl and the female protagonist sounds like a man.

Brilliant
Really enjoyed this listen. Gripping story and excellent narrator. Immediately purchased the sequel and am eagerly awaiting the 3rd.

Fairy tale like fantasy
Fine book. Has a quality about it that makes me think more of a fairy tale than fantasy. I would recommend this to my boys age 10 and 12.

Really poor
Would you try another book written by Shae Ford or narrated by Derek Perkins?
Maybe! I don't understand how this got good reviews
Maybe it's just not for a 33 year old male!
Slow paced, poor links worse characters, rubbish!
Go for night angle by Brent weeks
What was most disappointing about Shae Ford’s story?

Just awful - children’s book
I can only imagine that children are leaving the good reviews for this book. I purchased this book a couple of years ago so sadly no returning it. It’s not obvious from the sample that it is not suited to adults - or even teenagers come to that. My guess is 10-12 year olds may like this series, although maybe too long to hold their attention. I have got about half way through this book. I never like to give up but seriously - life is too short. Narrator should stick to what he does best and stay well clear of this type of book. His range is just too narrow.
