A Sellsword's Hope

The Seven Virtues, Book 7

By: Jacob Peppers

Narrated by: Steven Brand

The final battle has come.

Grinner and his conspiracy to overthrow Perennia have been defeated, but victory came at a high cost. The alliance suffered losses it could ill afford, for the true enemy still lies in Baresh, growing stronger with each day that passes.

Leading the combined armies of three kingdoms, Aaron and his companions march to the city, but even with such a force, even with the power of the Virtues, victory is anything but assured.

For when blades are drawn, when battle begins, the only certainty is blood.

Aaron knows this, just as he knows the terrible odds he faces. Yet, he is not alone. His allies march with him - creatures out of myth and legend, cut-throats and thieves, sailors and smugglers, and the mysterious Akalians who have finally chosen to step out of the shadows and into the light.

But the ancient mage has allies of his own, creatures endowed with speed and strength greater than any man, bereft of any human feeling, including pain. But there is strength in emotion, a power that even the thousand-year-old mage, even creatures out of legend, cannot stand against.

For with emotion comes valor and courage, honor and duty.

With emotion comes hope.

Excellent Story

While I recognize the often repetitive and mundane nature of some of the writing, it did not detract from the story as a whole. It was very easy to follow and the characters were llikable.The story culminates into an exciting conclusion which wrapped up all loose ends. I enjoyed this series and look forward to the next by this author. The performer is excellent as he always is.

Epic Conclusion

Wow! Love this series from the first book, but was completely blown away by the series finale. Epic conclusion to an epic series! Well done Mr. Peppers, well done.

Great ending to the series!

Great job by Jacob writing this story and finishing this series with gusto! I enjoyed the whole thing, great peak and great build up getting there. Unlikely heros, criminals, magic, all make this story so powerful. I also enjoyed the short chapter at the end, but don't want to say anything specific so i don't spoil it for anyone.

Great Series

You will not be disappointed with any of the books in this series. Well written and keeps you interested. Steven Brand's narration is soooooo good. Don't miss out on this series. I am going to check out more of Jacob Pepper's work. I am a fan. 😄

A great finale!

A truly enjoyable adventure with memorable characters and a great ending, wrapping up all storylines nicely!

Amazing Ending to this series!

This has been a great series! Wishing we had more to go but glad about the way it ended.

Enjoyable series

This was, overall, a very enjoyable series. The characters were well developed and relatable. The story moved well for the most part. What holds it back from a full 5 star review, in my opinion, was the "too happy" ending in the final chapter. Given the overall character arc, one would expect the protagonist to be much more conflicted given the story's conclution. That aside, the story was a fun listen. I would have preferred a bit more nuanced conclusion, but was well satisfied.

The narration was very very well done. Characters maintaind their "voice" and their "personality" very well throughout several volumes, which is a great feat for a narrator.

Loved the series!

I enjoyed all of the series. The humor that was in there was great and the way all the characters interacted with each other was at times hilarious. Even the sad times had me shed some tears. I really enjoyed listening to the series and they will most likely be ones that I listen to again.

Thank you to the author (Jacob Peppers) for sharing your characters and thank you to the narrator (Steven Brand) who brought the characters to life.

Absolutely Love this series

I'm sad to have finished all the books, definitely planning on listening to them again.

loved it

just loved this series, the only problem I had if you could call it one was that it was really hard to find a place to put it down.
