About this listen

Contains books one and two of Legend of Tal, a sword-and-sorcery, coming-of-age adventure.

A King's Bargain, book one

The legend of Tal Harrenfel is sung across the Westreach, and with each telling, the tales grow taller.

Though he's declared a hero by his king, Tal has never claimed to be more than a man. After three decades of fighting warlocks, killing mythical beasts, and hunting enchanted treasure, Tal has had enough. Running from the deeds of his past, he retreats to his home village under a different name and meets an unlikely companion: Garin, a village boy who dreams of making a name for himself and seeing the world beyond their sleepy town.

When Tal receives a mysterious visitor, both he and Garin find themselves thrown into a sojourn across the kingdom. Soon, they become embroiled in the plots of monarchs, on the frontlines of an ancient war, and at the mercy of a fabled sorcerer. Now Tal must live up to his legend, and Garin must discover his own power, to survive the forces pitted against them.

A Queen's Command, book two

The legend of Tal Harrenfel lives on, and a new song spreads across the Westreach.

Though Tal and Garin overcame one enemy, victory promises to be short-lived. Garin struggles with his inner demons. Tal is haunted by enemies and memories alike. And a long-kept secret has torn a rift between them.

But circumstances force them to continue their travels together. The roads from Avendor to Gladelyl, once the safest in the Westreach, are rife with danger. And Tal is bound to the commands of the Elf Queen whose intentions are unforeseeable. But reaching the elven realm is only the beginning of their troubles, for Gladelyl is in turmoil. The nobles grasp for power. The underclass and Eastern immigrants seek new rights. And an ancient enemy takes advantage of the chaos to turn them all against each other. Now Garin must come to terms with his demons.

Excellent tale - familiar, yet new & exciting.

This story began so similarly to a couple other fantasy stories I read years ago, that I almost put it down & left it. But as I read on, it became clear that this was - while familiar - very different and new. I'm so glad I kept reading and didn't miss out. Great characters, well developed, with real struggles and fears to deal with. The story is also quite good, yet, the writing (style) itself is even better.
Thus, it is a good, easy, enjoyable, all-'round listen. I found myself listening into the small hours, giving up sleep to keep listening; just didn't want to put it down. Going to begin Book Three as soon as I hit 'submit'!

Solid Story line

This book has a great fluid story and world building setting. Characters are developed and you have a good feel for their inner soul nicely done.

flat tone

really enjoy the story the narrator's voice is very flat at times so it's hard to get the inflection of what's going on

Epic!

These two stories wrapped up in one audio were epic and amazing. The world building and character flaws were perfect. I couldn’t stop listening. The actor’s performance was spot on with little changes for character voices be it man, woman, child or elf. Superb! I recommend this book series.

Loved it

I wasn’t so sure when I started the books but now after listening to the first two, I just have to know what happens. If that is not telling than I don’t know what is. I truly fell for the characters and need to know what comes next for them.
If you like Fantasy, this is a great series in my opinion. Creative, entertaining and enthralling.
Now to get the next book!!
