About this listen
The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable war for generations. The lucky ones are born gifted: some have the power to call down dragons, others can be magically transformed into bigger, stronger, faster killing machines.
Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war. Tau Tafari wants more than this, but his plans of escape are destroyed when those closest to him are brutally murdered.
With too few gifted left the Omehi are facing genocide, but Tau cares only for revenge. Following an unthinkable path, he will strive to become the greatest swordsman to ever live, willing to die a hundred thousand times for the chance to kill three of his own people.
The Rage of Dragons launches an unmissable epic fantasy series about a world caught in an endless war and the young man who will become his people's only hope for survival.

Outstanding! Couldn't stop listening
Absolutely loved it. Admittedly the beginning was a bit on the slow side but once Tau's mission was established it took off from there. Absolutely loved Tau and his development shaped by revenge, you can feel his anger and his pain. The development of Tau's swordbrothers throughout the story are fantastic.
A lot of fantasy is influenced largely by english history and culture. Winter went a completely different path and took a lot of his inspiration from african/Zulu history and culture. You can see it in his description of Omehi and how they are built. It is a huge breath of fresh air in the genre and one that gripped me from start to finish. Cannot wait for Book 2 which looks set for release end of July 2020.
5/5

Wow
Rand Al Thor eat your heart out. Make way for the new tortured hero, Tau. Set in an African inspired world of bronze and dragons with magic infused “Enraged” warriors this has to be one of the most original yet familiar stories I’ve ever read. It pays off so many times and still manages to surprise you at how it does this. You have to listen to this book. The narrator is brilliant. Cannot wait for the next audiobook.

Simply Amazing.
Whilst slow to start, once the main charatcer Tau goes to join the military everything kicks off and the story of vengeance that follows is simply amazing.

great story, okay narrator
Loved the story itself, only complaint was that I wished it was longer.
the performance was okay, he didn't stumble on any words and his cadence and timing was pretty good, but there was little distinction between character voices and its always told as if it was a shorter personal story the narrator was sharing, which is a little off putting

great story
slow start but very compelling and great build up.
I was abit deterred by the lack of distinction between different characters voices ( I blame Rupert Degas being so good at it)
but you come to easily understand little nuances
