À propos de cet audio
Winner of the Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut, 2013
The world is broken....
Corban wants nothing more than to be a warrior under King Brenin's rule—to protect and serve. But that day will come all too soon. And the price he pays will be in blood.
Evnis has sacrificed—too much it seems. But what he wants—the power to rule—will soon be in his grasp. And nothing will stop him once he has started on his path.
Veradis is the newest member of the warband for the High Prince, Nathair. He is one of the most skilled swordsman to come out of his homeland, yet he is always under the shadow of his older brother.
Nathair has ideas—and a lot of plans. Many of them don't involve his father, the High King Aquilus. Nor does he agree with his father's idea to summon his fellow kings to council.
The Banished Lands has a violent past where armies of men and giants clashed in battle, but now giants are seen, the stones weep blood, and giant wyrms are stirring. Those who can still read the signs see a threat far greater than the ancient wars. For if the Black Sun gains ascendancy, mankind's hopes and dreams will fall to dust....
...and it can never be made whole again.
Malice is a dark epic fantasy tale of blind greed, ambition, and betrayal.

The Tower of Babel is the greatest marvel in the world. Immense as a mountain, the ancient Tower holds unnumbered ringdoms, warring and peaceful, stacked one on the other like the layers of a cake. It is a world of geniuses and tyrants, of airships and steam engines, of unusual animals and mysterious machines. Soon after arriving for his honeymoon at the Tower, the mild-mannered headmaster of a small village school, Thomas Senlin, gets separated from his wife, Marya, in the overwhelming swarm of tourists, residents, and miscreants.

Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North. In the remote villages of Southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving - a test of courage and skill that not all survive. But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war.

A siege is approaching, and the city has little time to prepare. The people have no food and no weapons, and the enemy has sworn to slaughter them all. To save the city will take a miracle, but what it has is Orhan. A colonel of engineers, Orhan has far more experience with bridge building than battles, is a cheat and a liar, and has a serious problem with authority. He is, in other words, perfect for the job.

Devin Eveson is a Soulkeeper, traveling through remote villages as a preacher and healer. But when a mysterious black water washes over the world, the veil is torn, flooding the land with ancient magic and forgotten races: fire that dances as if alive, corpses that walk, and creatures that can manipulate time itself. And not all the creatures that have reawakened remember humanity fondly. As the land grows more dangerous and more chaotic, Soulkeepers are turning up dead, their bodies transformed into macabre works of art.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Excellent Fantasy
Love the story action and well written characters. Jumping into Valor now!
Well performed, but pauses between paragraph, action and certain chapters were not taken as the book was written. For example action of a different scene takes place in the very next sentence without a breath and this is not how it was crafted. Diminishes the style slightly.
Overall excellent though.

Great narrator in the fight scenes.
The narrator manages to make each major fight all the more exciting with his great tone and pitch control. some of the conversations are read a bit too haltingly, but all in all not bad. the story itself, well, the names are all too similar. lots of main characters have very similar sounding names, which makes things quite confusing when you are only half listening while driving or doing something else. Aside from that it wasn't as dark as I was expecting, nor do I really care about most of the characters besides the main family. Just didn't completely jive with me. I know there's a lot more to this story now that it's over, but I just don't know if I liked it enough to read the rest, or even the next instalment.

Lots of jumping around and lots of plot armour.
This story was so hard to finish because there was not one single character that I cared about. Fight scenes that don't make any sense like charging an enemy on horses only to dismount and go in with swords.

It has potential
I've seen this book pop up as a recommended title for some time and decided to give it a shot knowing ahead of time that the intro might be a little slow. I did find the first half of the book to be slow and considered returning the book more than once for a few reasons (the story didn't grab me, it was difficult to follow so many characters, the narration at times was jarring).
The narration was difficult for me mainly due to the cadence of the narrator (it was very halting with many unnecessary pauses and that took me out of the scene on many occasions). Some people say his voices are too similar but I found enough difference between them for the majority of the time. I could tell the passion was there and I think over time he will develop into a fantastic narrator (I also think a few of my issues could have been smoothed with a bit more editing).
I enjoyed the development of the main character Corban but didn't gain much of a connection with the other main characters. The book definitely picks up towards the end and it did enough that I'll give the second book a try.
Overall, prepare yourself for more actively listening to really enjoy this book.

Fantastic story!
I came across this book when I was looking for my next series to read online. This is a fantastic story with just the right amount of fantasy elements. I also cannot say enough about the narrator! He has fantastic pacing and delivers the characters perfectly. I’m looking forward to the next book!

Great World-Building. Poor Pacing.
John Gwynne establishes a reality where two major races - men and giants - vie for supremacy in a medieval-level-of-development, low-magic world. The reappearance of giant Wyrms and the horrific massive "Wolfen" herald the rekindling of an ancient battle between the gods. Gwynne does a marvelous job establishing political rivalries & alliances between feudal lords and kings across the "Banished Lands" (and teases the coming near-apocalyptic war most effectively). The imaginative setting is engrossing.. and the author enriches it with well-scripted, pulsepounding - occasionally gory - battle.
Less fortunately, he presents almost half of the book before even starting an encompassing plot and he struggles to consolidate the multiple Points Of View into something that flows. The book is entertaining for an enthusiastic Fantasy fan like me, but slow to start and somewhat klunky.
Reader Damian Lynch is similarly outstanding with a couple of deficiencies. His diction, timbre, voice-acting, and tone are spot-on, for example.. but he displays an odd hesitant/halting cadence. Overall, Hachette Audio Inc. did a praiseworthy job casting the project and provide commendable technical support.
'Malice' is worthy of 8 stars out of 10. Fans of Epic Fantasy could easily find themselves captivated by the interesting characters and rich setting. I, personally, enjoyed the book and judge it worth a Credit.. but won't be continuing with the 'Faithful and Fallen' series. It didn't do enough to grab me.
ATTN PRODUCERS: There are a huge number of competing factions in this book. An appended PDF with a map showing the various kingdoms - and a dramatis personae - would improve this product immeasurably.
