Publisher's Summary

Fifty years ago, the nightwalkers appeared, creatures of shadow and darkness, thirsting for blood and death. Thousands died, and the kingdom of Entarna was brought to its knees. Then the Chosen came: six men and women endowed with powers by Amedan, the God of Fire and Light. The Chosen joined with the kingdom’s armies, and together, they managed to defeat the night’s creatures. At least for a time.

Alesh, servant to Chosen Olliman, the greatest of Amedan’s priests, knows well what the darkness holds. He saw it, as a child, when his father and mother were killed, and he was left with a blackened, festering scar that refuses to heal.

The day wanes, and the night comes again, but when those chosen to protect the kingdom are unable or unwilling to help; when the fellowships of the past have crumbled, it is left to an orphaned servant - a man many believe to be cursed - to stand against the rising darkness.

Read this series, it's worth it 100%

I wrote a review that was good, but not amazing upon finishing this first book. HOWEVER, after finishing the series I had to come back and fix it. I'm so pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this series, just give it a go!
The books are SO entertaining and the characters grow on you like crazy throughout the 6 installments.
They are hard to stop listening to.

This first and second book are entertaining but flawed, yet they get so much better. There is a fair bit of "plot armor" overall but these books are dark, entertaining, suspenseful. exciting, heart-wrenching, and moving. I'm so glad I listened to them.
Excited to try out Pepper's other books, his writing style and witty remarks in some characters are perfect.

It also goes without saying, the narration is SUPERB as well. Well done Derek Perkins, such a good job.
