Publisher's Summary

This audiobook features dramatized audio performances by a full cast - featuring some your favourite Riot voices.

Discover an epic tale of magic, revenge, and an empire on the verge of ruin in the first ever novel set in the blockbuster universe of League of Legends.

Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy. Where the empire's knights go, slaughter follows.

Kalista seeks to change that. When her young and narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes king, she vows to temper his destructive instincts, as his loyal confidant, advisor, and military general. But her plans are thwarted when an assassin's poisoned blade strikes Viego's wife, Isolde, afflicting her with a malady for which there is no cure.

As Isolde's condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a desperate gambit to save the kingdom: she searches for the long lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen's salvation, if only Kalista can find them.

But corruption grows in the Blessed Isles' capital, where a vengeful warden seeks to ensnare Kalista in his cruel machinations. She will be forced to choose between her loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right-for even in the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that saves the world.

the cinematics for the ruination event where meh , but boy was the audio book worth it !

the voice acting is impeccable, kalistas voice actress was really lovely and it was great to hear the lore of some of the champions.

pleasantly surprised

I am an avid LoL gamer and fan of the universe but I was hesitant about this book as I was worried it would live up to the idea I had in my head. It ended up surpassing it greatly. Well written, true to lore, excellent narration for each character and good plot.
My only gripe is that during the editing/equalising of the audio some characters (Viego and Hearing most notably) vary so much in volume between their usual speech, shouts and whispers that I had to keep fiddling with the volume. A pain but not a reflection of the performance or story

Epic

As a huge league fan, this did it justice. It's a bit slow to get into but just wait for it.
