Publisher's Summary

For 1,000 years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive and threatening races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the Furies - elementals of earth, air, fire, water, and metal. But now, the unity of the Alerians hangs in precarious balance. The first lord of Alera has fallen in his efforts to protect his people from the vicious attacks of their enemies. Now, the fate of the Alerians lies in the hands of Tavi, a young man who must use all of his courage and resourcefulness to save his people.

Excellent but has formatting issues.

Story and performance is excellent but for some reason this audiobook got formatted into 5 minute "chapters" that don't sync at all with the book's chapters. So due to technical difficulties it loses one star otherwise I'd give it 5/5.

Well done

What is with the bloody random horn calls in the middle of the story? Very distracting.

very good

This is a really great story and the performance was very well done. I could do without the horns but it was only a small annoyance.
