Publisher's Summary

On the Oestend prairie, only the strong survive.

Artist Aren Montrell has heard tales of the Oestend wraiths - mysterious creatures that come in the night and kill anyone who’s not indoors. Aren’s never believed the stories, but when he takes a job as a bookkeeper on the BarChi, a dusty cattle ranch in the furthest reaches of Oestend, he learns the wraiths are very real. And they’re only one of the many dangers in the wild, treacherous place he now calls home.

Aren becomes the one and only confidant of Deacon, the BarChi’s burly foreman. Deacon runs the BarChi with an iron fist and is glad to finally have a friend. But Deacon is a man with many secrets. He’s determined to deny both his Oestend heritage and any claim he may have to the BarChi ranch. If Aren wants to survive the perils of the prairie, he’ll have to convince Deacon to stop running from the past and finally claim everything that’s his.

Loved it!

Narrator John Solo lyrically delivered one of the most intriguing, post-apocalyptic, dark fantasies of the year. I have no clue on what planet this story was staged, and I have no clue where in the universe Oestend is, but listeners will be carried away to that place to enjoy the broad scope of creativity and highly imaginative, world-building. The blended tropes and historical native or indigenous elements like symbols, songs, and culture tied to the harsh farm life, created a feeling of deep connectivity to the same old story of land annexation, but in this case, the land and the spirit of the land exterminated the intruders one by one. We love the cover, it has a sexy cowboy yes, but also highlights the fantasy element, it is unique and eyecatching.

We had the privilege to hear John record book two, it was amaze-balls! The songs or chants he sang were soul-touching. Marie Sexton wrote them all from scratch, she is extremely talented. You can also listen to him record his audiobooks, on Discord.

We chose to put this one forward as Audiobook of the Month February 2021.
This audiobook is definitely a recommendation.

Happy Listening
