The Wanderer of the Night, Book1: For the Greater Good

By: Olesia Hukriede

Narrated by: Kyle Snyder

Under the sunless sky of The Beyond, Gael can truly only count on one person. Himself. He knows his comrade-in-arms, the only man he calls friend, David, is hiding secrets. Secrets that have to do with Gael’s fiancée, who’s been missing for 90 years. And he is determined to find the truth.

A prisoner of his own immortal body, Gael’s sole duty to his ruler, the White Prince, is reduced to a title. Executioner. Unable to let go of the nobility that made him human, Gael is thrown into an unimaginable nightmare. And with a new purpose–to save seven-year-old Maddie McDaniel.

Through her childlike wonder, Maddie has no idea of the power she wields and the forces that protect her. She is a danger to everything the White Prince has built over centuries and his dreams of the future.

Faced with an impossible task, one filled with violence and destruction, Gael must choose between loyalty and what he knows in his heart is right. A decision that will alter both his and Maddie’s lives forever. Whatever his choice, he knows one thing–he must protect the girl. Before they get to her.

Great listen, I enjoyed this one a bunch.

This was a good listen, love the voices. Solid writing and what a cool world. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Good intro to a new universe.

The book is overall well written and the pacing of the story is good in my opinion. None of the characters fall flat in my opinion. It is easy to follow the story but you need to be actively listening to understand whats going on. It is not a story that is good for background noise like most black library books. The narator did a good and did a satisfactory job with all the characters and kept the voice consistency throughout the story. I cant wait for the next instalment and hope this story continues.

Great Character Diversity

This was a really intriguing book, I wasn't really sure where it was going early on as themically its quite unique. I'm glad I kept going through, it was really cool. The narrator Kyle Snyder's vocal range is insane, really great example of a fully equipped narrator. Worth a listen for sure

Not my usual listen but it was good

I was very intrigued by this fantasy book. At first I was a little confused as to what was going on, but thankfully everything gets explained as you listen and it all works out for a great story in the end. Definitely recommend for fantasy lovers.

Intriguing story and characters

First off, the writing and the narration are superb. The description is uniquely described to fill the imagination, made more so by the talented narrator giving the characters a vocal persona.

For me, the pacing was done exceptional, easy to follow, and didn't feel sluggish. The characters' back stories gave meaning to their purpose and behavior. Being a fantasy genre fan, this didn't let me down. I enjoyed listening. The story gave something new that I haven't heard.

Though the description to characters and their actions are top notch in filling the imagination, I was let free to imagine how the atmosphere would be most of the time.

Overall, book 1 is an excellent start to the series worth following. Intriguing characters, both likable and loathful. Dark moments and mystery yet to be uncovered, creating weight to see what's next.
