By: Kel Kade

Length: 12 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's summary

Fate of the Fallen is the start of a brand-new adventure from New York Times best-selling author Kel Kade.

Not all stories have happy endings.

Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in headfirst, pulling his best friend, Aaslo, along for the ride.

However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be or, failing that, how to survive.

Worth a listen

I have listened to the authors other series, Kong’s dark tidings, which I enjoyed a lot. This story is unrelated but has similar writing style. Nick Podehl crushes the performance as always. The story is good all though I felt that it was left a bit unfinished even for the first book of a series. Kind of ends abruptly as a major revelation is revealed. Has that weird, smart humor from KDT that I enjoyed. Still I wish that the author would have finished the KDT series first before starting another....

I miss Rezkin, but welcome Master Forester!

Let me start by saying I love Kel Kade. I was, however, disappointed that he decided to start a new series versus continuing the King's Dark Tidings series (or delaying its continuation). That being said, this book is most certainly an interesting start to a series with a lot of potential. Kade definitely threw in a twist at the beginning that I absolutely did not expect and, frankly, has kept me wondering about that character. I must admit that I would have loved another 15 hours or so, as when it ended it felt like leaving the theater after watching The Empire Strikes Back (yes, I was there). If I cannot have Rezkin, though, I very much look forward to Aaslo's next adventure.

it hurts so good

great story and like his other books kade write fantastically from a person removed from society. but now I need more.... also when is next dark tidings

Kel Kade hits another one out of the park!!!

Good: Kel Kade and Nock Podehl are an outstanding team. She is able to build the world's and Nick breaths life into them. this is just another in the line of Kel Kade masterpieces. Kel Kade has a system, or maybe a process to her writing that is vexing to the reader. her books are engaging and page turners that can't be put down.

BAD: cliff hangers that last for years. I wish she could produce books faster, but

-patience is a virtue???
-good things come to those that wait????
-it takes years for a tree to grow to its full beauty???
-the world turns at its own speed, no matter how much I want tomorrow to come faster???

Regardless, my impatience will not prevent me from buying either of her story lines when they come out.

great read!!!

can't wait for more!!!!

Great story and great performance

This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by Kel Kade, and the first one narrated by Nick Podehl that I have ever listened to. I think Podehl was was the perfect choice for narrator and did a fantastic job. I believe that Kel Kade created an imaginative and creative world, and I can’t wait to see where the series goes!

this is one of the best frickin audible books ever

this book is 👌top quality i definitely recommend not only is Kel Kade an awesome narrator but I love the plot and the characters

Another Amazing performance by Kel and Nick

All I can say is Next book when?

Strongly waiting for the rest of this series as well as more King's Dark Tidings

This is just a fun book to listen to.

Just what I needed fast fun and Nick the awesome Podehl narration. Seriously if you cant enjoy this book you probably need to be on meds or better meds.

An Absolutely amazing book

Wow!!!!
What an amazing book and Nick Podehl is such an awesome reader and narrator, I love it!!!
The story was so different than I have read and the attention to detail as well as character Development is so good I feel like I’m in the story and can picture everything!

I didn't want to like this book

I am looking forward to more King's Dark Tidings so this book coming out was disappointing. After a month I decided to give it a chance and listened to it, I wish I would have trusted Kel and just listened to this, it was great.
