À propos de cet audio
Winner of the Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut, 2013
The world is broken....
Corban wants nothing more than to be a warrior under King Brenin's rule—to protect and serve. But that day will come all too soon. And the price he pays will be in blood.
Evnis has sacrificed—too much it seems. But what he wants—the power to rule—will soon be in his grasp. And nothing will stop him once he has started on his path.
Veradis is the newest member of the warband for the High Prince, Nathair. He is one of the most skilled swordsman to come out of his homeland, yet he is always under the shadow of his older brother.
Nathair has ideas—and a lot of plans. Many of them don't involve his father, the High King Aquilus. Nor does he agree with his father's idea to summon his fellow kings to council.
The Banished Lands has a violent past where armies of men and giants clashed in battle, but now giants are seen, the stones weep blood, and giant wyrms are stirring. Those who can still read the signs see a threat far greater than the ancient wars. For if the Black Sun gains ascendancy, mankind's hopes and dreams will fall to dust....
...and it can never be made whole again.
Malice is a dark epic fantasy tale of blind greed, ambition, and betrayal.

After the old gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrio. Now, power-hungry jarls carve out petty kingdoms, and monsters stalk the shadow-haunted woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame, and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people. All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos.

Now, she has returned with one goal: to trick her way into a noble house, securing her fortune and her sister’s future. But in the city of dreams, her masquerade is just one of many. Enigmatic crime lord Derossi Vargo, stony captain of the guard Grey Serrado, dashing heir Leato Traementis, and the legendary vigilante known as the Rook all have secrets that could unravel her own.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Devin Eveson is a Soulkeeper, traveling through remote villages as a preacher and healer. But when a mysterious black water washes over the world, the veil is torn, flooding the land with ancient magic and forgotten races: fire that dances as if alive, corpses that walk, and creatures that can manipulate time itself. And not all the creatures that have reawakened remember humanity fondly. As the land grows more dangerous and more chaotic, Soulkeepers are turning up dead, their bodies transformed into macabre works of art.

Well performed, but pauses between paragraph, action and certain chapters were not taken as the book was written. For example action of a different scene takes place in the very next sentence without a breath and this is not how it was crafted. Diminishes the style slightly.
Overall excellent though.
Excellent Fantasy

Lots of jumping around and lots of plot armour.
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
The narration was difficult for me mainly due to the cadence of the narrator (it was very halting with many unnecessary pauses and that took me out of the scene on many occasions). Some people say his voices are too similar but I found enough difference between them for the majority of the time. I could tell the passion was there and I think over time he will develop into a fantastic narrator (I also think a few of my issues could have been smoothed with a bit more editing).
I enjoyed the development of the main character Corban but didn't gain much of a connection with the other main characters. The book definitely picks up towards the end and it did enough that I'll give the second book a try.
Overall, prepare yourself for more actively listening to really enjoy this book.
It has potential

Fantastic story!
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
Less fortunately, he presents almost half of the book before even starting an encompassing plot and he struggles to consolidate the multiple Points Of View into something that flows. The book is entertaining for an enthusiastic Fantasy fan like me, but slow to start and somewhat klunky.
Reader Damian Lynch is similarly outstanding with a couple of deficiencies. His diction, timbre, voice-acting, and tone are spot-on, for example.. but he displays an odd hesitant/halting cadence. Overall, Hachette Audio Inc. did a praiseworthy job casting the project and provide commendable technical support.
'Malice' is worthy of 8 stars out of 10. Fans of Epic Fantasy could easily find themselves captivated by the interesting characters and rich setting. I, personally, enjoyed the book and judge it worth a Credit.. but won't be continuing with the 'Faithful and Fallen' series. It didn't do enough to grab me.
ATTN PRODUCERS: There are a huge number of competing factions in this book. An appended PDF with a map showing the various kingdoms - and a dramatis personae - would improve this product immeasurably.
Great World-Building. Poor Pacing.
