Publisher's summary

Ahren can hardly believe his luck. His apprenticeship finally comes to an end, and Khara's interest in him is growing by the minute. He and his companions leave the Southern Jungles and sail westward, this time in search of two Paladins, who are apparently living a peaceful existence on one of the Isles of the Cutlass Sea.

Yet their quest proves full of difficulties, for a war among the pirates has transformed the Cutlass Sea into a bubbling cauldron, hiding its own tragic drama. While Ahren and his friends do their utmost to win over the two Paladins in their attempts to defeat HIM, WHO FORCES, the High Fang, SVEN, is nearing the consummation of his fiendish plan.

Great books

Can’t wait for the next translation all of these books have been a delight to listen to

Last few hours were subpar.

This was an excellent continuation of the story and well performed my issue with this is that the last few hours of the production were marred by multiple edit errors and mistakes. I am not sure who is in charge of this but it should have been caught before being released to market and if it were caught afterwards should be fixed and re-released as I've seen this noted by multiple people. Still a great story but this takes away from the overall experience.

An excellent addition to the series

This installment was written, and developed, well. The story was captivating, and interesting. Characters were developed well, also.

I am would love more.

I would like to hear the rest of the books from this series. Is there any way to find out when that might happen?

This series is very interesting to me and I would love to hear the rest of it.

Great Listen

I don't remember how many times it has happened, but I know I have had a few tears in my eyes on more than one occasion while listening to this series, this book was no exception.

Amazing

I have loved this series. The book has been read with such character. Such clarity. I’m looking forward to hear the whole series.

Poor Editing

This is a great story, and the performance has been pretty good so far, but the editing of the last two hours is horrible. It's almost as if they forgot to edit out the starts and restarts. Sounds like a scratch on a CD in places. It's very distracting.

recording issues?

I don't know if the performer had recording issues or if there was some editing issues but closer to the end of the story maybe around chapter 8 it started sounding like a scratched cd it would skip and stutter and a few times start reading again from a few words before. outside of that another great story

Very satisfying

I thoroughly enjoy this series so far. The author has thought out the storyline and carries it on from one book to the next. He intelligently ages his characters. They arent immediately "all-powerful and knowing". They grow and mature.
The narrator is amazing.

editing mistakes

I'm in audio editor, specifically audiobooks, and I noticed no fewer than a dozen errors left in this book, specifically were the performer had to reread the lines, and the rereads were not cut out.

I didn't notice this in any of the other books in the series, and the publisher should be aware

other than that, it's a fantastic story by a fantastic author
