Publisher's Summary

Tarkosi Terelta is a nobody. A nobody who will save his world from demons and the hellfire they bring.

The third-born of a shamed family, Tarkosi's lot in life is to spend his days as a worker, feeding temperamental lancewings under a harsh master. His days in the bloodwood city of Shal Gara are full of drudgery, tedium, and pain, his own ambitions cast aside in the name of order.

That is until demons from a broken world invade the forest realm of The Swathe, and an accident born of violence and dark magic intertwines Tarkosi’s fate with the greatest among them.

Forced onto the front lines of a war forgotten by history, Tarkosi must balance battling the royal demon bound to him with the rapid progression of the magical abilities its presence has bestowed. Risking everything, he will need to tread a thin line between hero and heretic to keep Shal Gara from falling into ruin and chaos.

Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Venom in this epic progression fantasy perfect for fans of Iron Prince, Cradle, and Kingfall.

Book promises more than it can deliver

Who would have thought a book about demons could be this boring but here we are. Story's pass was so slow it was unbearable at times the only saving grace was the performer who truly did a good job. There was a lot of good ideas but they were all executed poorly and I'm so disappointed because this could have been such a good story instead it fell short. The main character was so annoying that it becomes comical and all the plot points were so predictable that I could have tell how it would play out by the fifth chapter.

Worse than watching paint dry.

I feel I should preface this with the fact that I gave up after 4 hours and found almost nothing had happened.

I believe this is the third or fourth book now that I have tried listening to that was written by David Estes, and I'm not a fan. I've found his narratives far too slow and most of his characters unlikable. I really want to like his books as they sound very interesting and are well reviewed, but clearly they are not for me.

The narration is very well done however I'm not sure Tim Gerard Reynolds was the best choice when the MC behaves like a sniveling little shit, not sure how old the character is supposed to be but his behaviour is like a blend of an eight year old having a temper tantrum and a teenager that's an asshole.
