Publisher's Summary

The first book in the series by the master of epic fantasy, Raymond E. Feist. Ten years after the cataclysmic events of Wrath of A Mad God took place, Midkenia now faces a new danger thought buried in myth and antiquity.

A lost race of elves, the taredhel or ‘people of the stars’, have found a way across the universe to reach Midkemia. On their current home world, these elves are hard pressed by a ravaging demon horde, and what was once a huge empire has been reduced to a handful of survivors. The cornerstone of taredhel lore is the tale of their lost origins in the world they call simply ‘Home’, a place lost in the mists of time. Now they are convinced that Midkemia is that place, and they are coming to reclaim it.

Ruthless and arrogant, the taredhel intend to let nothing stand in their way; but before long, Pug and the Conclave realise that it's not necessarily the elves, but the demon horde pursuing them where the true danger lies. And hanging over Pug always is the prophecy that he will be doomed to watch everyone he loves die before him…

Peter Joyce question mark explanation mark

Ive listened to all of Peter Joyce's work narrating feist's magician series, thus far. ( a couple to go).
no way that was same bloke, who narrated this book. did he have laryngitis and went to work any way. Joyce changed the sounds of all of the voices. Thomas most notably.
still good read. but damm what that

Narration and recording somewhat off-putting.

As many have already noted, character voices are different to previous stories and the overall editing seems hastily done.

Not Peter Joyce

The narrator sounds similar to Peter Joyce but doesn't seem to be him. This narrator pronounces names, and towns wrong/ differently and uses new voices for well established characters.

Chapters out of sync

Another great book from Raymond E Feist. Also another great reading from Peter Joyce. Not sure if I had a download error but my chapters in audible for this book was all out of sync with 13 hour long chapters when I think there was about 20. Small error can be easily fixed.

great story, good performance.

The story as usual is well paced and enjoyable to the end.

I personally don't think the voices of some of the characters are portrayed well, especially that of Thomas. and the pronunciation of some words borders on rediculous.

Wow

Stunned by the events in this latest ongoing story of Midkemia. This was a powerfully told tale with a shocking ending. Highly recommend reading or listening. About to start the next book very saddened and knowing the evil the characters face am gearing up for more tragedy. Again Peter Joyce was faultless.
