À propos de cet audio

"Ashes of the Sun is fantasy at its finest"--Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld
Long ago, a magical war destroyed an empire, and a new one was built in its ashes. But still the old grudges simmer, and two siblings will fight on opposite sides to save their world in the start of Django Wexler's new epic fantasy trilogy.
Gyre hasn't seen his beloved sister since their parents sold her to the mysterious Twilight Order. Now, twelve years after her disappearance, Gyre's sole focus is revenge, and he's willing to risk anything and anyone to claim enough power to destroy the Order.
Chasing rumors of a fabled city protecting a powerful artifact, Gyre comes face-to-face with his lost sister. But she isn't who she once was. Trained to be a warrior, Maya wields magic for the Twilight Order's cause. Standing on opposite sides of a looming civil war, the two siblings will learn that not even the ties of blood will keep them from splitting the world in two.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Ashes of the Sun is fantasy at its finest: deliciously inventive, brimming with ancient evils, fallen empires, mysterious technology, and devastating magic. Best of all, however, are its characters, each one crafted with deliberate care and developed in meaningful ways as their story unfolds."—Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld
"Magic, mutants, and mayhem abound in Django Wexler's Ashes of the Sun, but there's also plenty of brain food to be had in this tale of a post-catastrophe world suffering under the yoke of unbending authoritarian rule. A fast-paced and highly entertaining ride through a compelling and original world"—Anthony Ryan, NYT bestselling author of Blood Song
"Reminiscent of Final Fantasy, Masters of the Universe, and Moorcock's The Jewel in the Skull, ASHES OF THE SUN is a science-fantasy adventure brimming with everything that is weird and wonderful about a world where magic and technology have fused in the fires of a fallen civilization."—Jonathan French, author of The Grey Bastards
"Ashes of the Sun shows that Wexler is a master of high fantasy. His plotting and this post-apocalyptic setting will warp your mind!"—S. M. Stirling, NYT bestselling author
"Gorgeous writing, powerfully-drawn characters, and an exciting storyline!"—K.D. Edwards, Author of The Last Sun and The Hanged Man
"Exciting. Immersive. Epic. A perfect page turner and a phenomenal start to a new series."—Peter Clines, author of The Fold and Ex-Heroes
"This is a book whose characters and world will stay with you well after the last page. Do yourself a favor and read it. Now."—Douglas Hulick, author of Among Thieves and Sworn in Steel
"Ashes of the Sun uses awesome worldbuilding and complex, diverse characters to fuse the aesthetics of Star Wars with the brainfeel of Fullmetal Alchemist. Ancient secrets! Queer ladies! Snark! I demand a TV adaptation ASAP!"—Foz Meadows
"Ashes of the Sun is the best sort of fantasy. With fascinating characters, a richly realized world, and romances both steamy and adorable, Gyre and Maya are epic heroes you'll want to know."—Robyn Bennis, author of The Guns Above
"Ashes of the Sun brings to life an ancient world of magic broken by war. It's a simmering post-apocalyptic fantasy that feels like the literary equivalent of a ticking time bomb. The book lights a fuse in its first few pages, slowly setting up stakes and a conflict big enough to break the bonds of love, loyalty, duty, and even family, all before the full burn of its last few chapters and the finale's thunderous explosion."—Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons

I really enjoyed the story

READ THIS NOW!

As a reader, I am a master of fantasy. It's what I read and love more than any other genre and for my YouTube channel I tend to read about 120 books a year. I'm already more than halfway past that goal as of this book's July publication. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is among the best books I've read in the last 2-3yrs. Ashes of the Sun seriously impressed me and I'm shattered I have to wait so long for a sequel. 


This book follows two siblings who are ideologically opposed after having been torn apart in childhood. Maya belongs to the Twilight Order, the guardians of humanity, sworn to the Chosen who disappeared after wielding destructive power in the war to exterminate the Ghouls 400yrs ago. The Order are the highest authority in the land and they make sure to keep it that way by maintaining their stranglehold on humanity by way of an endless quest to seek out and destroy the technology and magic of the ghouls. 


On the other side we have Gyre, Maya's older brother whose eye and whose family was destroyed by the Order Centarch who abducted Maya as a child. Gyre has been searching his whole life for something powerful enough to cast off the yoke the the Order keeps of humanity, and to get his personal revenge doing it. 


This world is really interesting as it and its economy rely on a lot of Ghoul-derived technology called arcana that people scavenge, ignorant or contemptuous of the Order interdictions against it. The world is also run rampant with a Plague, magical in nature, as well as the humans called Darkeen who wield the Ghoul fleshmagic that seems to have created it in the first place. The Darkeen are humans who are hunted down relentlessly for using Ghoul magic to craft Plague-beasts, nightmarish creatures who ingest other animals (love humans preferably) to repurpose and twist the corpses in order to grow. 


And if that weren't bad enough, it seems like the two sides of that ancient war might not be as dead and buried as everyone thought, for forces are stirring that may plunge the world back into conflict, to unleash a level of horror that saw unfathomable atrocities committed unless someone can stop them in the pulse pounding tale that with see new legends rise–the legends of Silvereye and Burningblade.

TRULY PHENOMENAL!

seriously, if I wanted a tween romance, I wouldn't look in fantasy fiction. I had to stop a little while in, as the story line was ok, but the LGBT romance was not necessary to the plot or theme. like the mysterious sex scenes in movies, they just have to slip it in there somewhere.

very juvenile fiction with adult content
