The Dark Age

De: Traci Harding

Narrado por: Edwina Wren

Late one evening, en route to visit a relative, an accident leaves Tory - the attractive, twenty-something daughter of a prominent history professor - stranded near a ring of stones in Britain. Tory resolves to spend the night at the stone circle and seek help in the morning. But across the vortex of time and space, she is taken back to the Dark Age. There she meets Prince Maelgwn of Gwynedd and his band of warriors.

Initially her 'strange' appearance frightens them and they believe she is the notorious witch fabled to frequent the site. But she overcomes their fear and soon the tales of her adventures, brave deeds and beauty spread across the land.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The first volume of 'The Ancient Future' trilogy by Traci Harding, "The Dark Age" is the story of Tory, a young woman who upon standing within a sacred British 'Ring of Stones' on a Solstice evening finds herself plunged back in time to ancient Britain where she encounters Prince Maelgwn of Gwyneed, his allies and his foes, as well as an incarnation of the fabled wizard Merlyn. A riveting novel of adventure, magic, time-travel, and true love, "The Dark Age" will leave listeners eagerly awaiting the rest of the trilogy. Ably narrated by Edwina Wren, this complete and unabridged audiobook production is technically flawless and highly recommended for personal and community library audiobook collections." (Midwest Book Review)

One of the best beginnings to a superb trillogy!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, because it opens into one of the best trillogies I have ever read. This audio version is excellent.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tori is going to be every ones fave. She represents so much that is true in us and what we should be aspiring to.

What does Edwina Wren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Edwina brough pronunciation of the welsh names that I had only done phonetically from reading the books. Her lilting voice and subtle use of accents and tonal changes for the characters was nicely done.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Many!

Any additional comments?

When do we get the rest of the trillogies as audio books?

Exceptional

I loved this book! It was entertaining right from the beginning. Within minutes her adventure began. I hated for it to end. I also loved the narrator.

Very good performance .

Interesting story. Probably meant for a younger audience..,.maybe teens. Non offensive, really quite fun and easy to follow.

The narrator was extremely irritating.

The book wasn't all that good to begin with but the narration was so irritating at times I can't even consider listening to another book in the series.

A Fantastic example of Audible excellence

Traci Harding has written a brilliant story, no weak characters, the story line is amongst the best that I have read. And then there is Edwina Wren, one of the best narrators, I have even had the pleasure of listening to. The perfect partnership between Author and Narrator, a great example of how a audible book can exceed the printed medium.

The Ancient Future

I have loved the book for years and this audio presentation has been beautifully read by Edwina Wren. If you like Romance, Knights, Magicians, Gods and Goddesses as well as Adventure, Mysticism and Time Travel you will love this book. I highly recommend this production.

Interesting enough to keep listening!

The author places an interesting twist on the Merlin legend. It is a bit lame in the entire goddess section, but redeemed itself at the end.

A Favourite

May not be well written BUT the story is just so engaging & the idea of time travel just sucks me in every time!!
