About this listen

It has been a thousand years since the last Seed abandoned their duty. The mists are closing in. Finally, the Morning Bell tolls. A new Seed is born, but is it too late?

The rot eats away at mortals. The Witnesses pray so that they may not turn into one of the forgotten. And the constricting mists infect the lands with fear.

But there is more to this tale than just the Elders and their Seeds. Four mortals will have a part to play in Minethria’s fate.

A farmer girl with only love in her eyes.

A warrior born to the life of a refugee.

A highborn stuck between the realm of gods and men.

And a woman running into front lines and away from home.

Will the cycle finally be completed? Or will the mist swallow all? A seed is born and the evil is slain, so doth another cycle commence. Yet the last Seed born hath turned traitor, and the mists which had been pushed back, returneth.

I found the story so interesting, I wanted more from certain characters that I didn't get. and felt that others got more then I wanted. the action scenes were absolutely fabulous.
triggers: abusive/manipulative parents, loss, rape
The author did a fabulous job at the feel he wanted. I hope there will be another I need more from this world

Fantastic read. Prepare for extremely dark content. Wonderfully dark souls inspired.
The readers have nice voices but insist on switching back and forth between inconsistent accents which don’t really work.
Overall this is definitely worth it! I just found the readers jarring

Great Grimdark - Mediocre Performance
