Summary
The assassination of heroes was once a warning... for an invasion that nearly destroyed the world.
Nations were slaughtered, cities were erased from existence, and defending armies were crushed into oblivion. In weeks, all life stood on the verge of extinction. But the end did not come. Instead the black horde vanished, leaving terrified survivors... and rumors. As the centuries passed the holocaust faded into legend, and finally myth. Across the southern sea a gifted young man is completing his training. To him the war is forgotten. To the world a warning goes unheeded. And the killings have already begun.

Continue the series
Brand-new graduate of a military academy 'Taryn' (and his fellow bad-ass swordmasters) leaves his island home to enter a world where something mythically dark is arising from the ancient past.
The pacing is a little bit off, but the author's imagination and unparalleled combat choreography more than make up for any deficiencies.
As to presentation: Reader Derek Perkins narrates the book brilliantly. His character interpretations are occasionally stereotypical, but his diction, timbre, cadence, and tone are spot-on. His pleasant British accent-tinged performance is enjoyable gor hoit after hour. This is a great listening product.
Altogether, I give 'Elseerian' - the first book on the 'Luminea Chronicles' - 9 stars out of 10. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found the book on the 'Plus' menu.. because it merits a Credit.
Outstanding Fantasy. Swashbuckling Action.
