Publisher's summary

Abramm has dedicated the last eight years of his life to becoming worthy to touch and tend the Sacred Flames of Eidon, and he expects to be blessed for his devotion and sacrifice. But on the eve of taking the vows that will irrevocably separate him from the life he was born to—as Abramm Kalladorne, fifth son of the king of Kiriath—he is betrayed by his spiritual mentor and sold into slavery by his brothers.

Swept along by the winds of a new destiny, Abramm is forced to compete as a gladiator. When the oppressed masses rally around his success, he discovers his suffering has molded him into something greater than he ever thought possible—to serve a purpose he never imagined.

Set in a world of swords and cloaks, of glittering palaces and mystical temples, of galley ships and ancient mist-bound cities, The Light of Eidon is the first volume of an epic series, Legends of the Guardian-King.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

NEED A PREQUEL OR SEQUEL PLEASE KAREN

I really enjoy these books and am so glad for the audio book form. Hoping for the remainer to be released in audiobook. Wish, wish Karen Hancock would write a prequel ... or a sequel.

A prequel about Abram's life would be great.

What a delightful surprise!

I have long loved, read, and re-read this quadology. What a joy to discover the Audible book. The story and writing is of high quality, as is the performance by the voice actor. I've always recommend the books. Now I can recommend the Audible book. I greatly look forward to the publication of the Audible book for the next three books! If love Christian analogies you will want to read/listen to this one.

Amazing Storytelling

If you want intriguing characters, a beautifully developed world, and a strong message of faith and hope, this is your book. Set amid both high fantasy palaces and action filled arenas, this book offers both philosophical depth, and adventurous action! Religious fantasy can sometimes be too heavy handed or lack interesting plot and relatable characters, but The Light of Eidon has all too human people struggling to find faith and destiny in a captivating world.

I 100% recommend this book, and always will.

Love this world and story of Abram, Trap and its other leading characters.

Before it was an audio book I read this book multiple times on my kindle and now that’s in Audio it will be a new go to for re-listening. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life and bringing you into the story.
