About this listen

Long ago, the wizards had vanished from the world, and all knowledge was left hidden in riddles. Morgon, prince of the simple farmers of Hed, proved himself a master of such riddles when he staked his life to win a crown from the dead Lord of Aum.But now ancient, evil forces were threatening him. Shape changers began replacing friends until no man could be trusted. So Morgon was forced to flee to hostile kingdoms, seeking the High One who ruled from mysterious Erlenstar Mountain. Beside him went Deth, the High One's Harper. Ahead lay strange encounters and terrifying adventures. And with him always was the greatest of unsolved riddles - the nature of the three stars on his forehead that seemed to drive him toward his ultimate destiny.

This book absolutely glows. I loved it as a child and fell in love with it again as I read it aloud in turns with my child. It is iridescent . Magical. But the emotions are genuine and of this world, and I think that’s what reaches out to you to grab you, not letting go even when it’s long over. I enjoyed the narrator and am delighted to have this opportunity to dive back into Hed in a totally different way. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Brilliant!
