About this listen

An ancient evil is rising. Only the Embers can stand against it.

For centuries, the flame-wielding warriors have been the last line of defense against the nightmare creatures of the World Apart. But their light is fading, and few remain to push back the darkness.

When Kole Reyna, Ember of Last Lake is wounded by a demon unlike any they have seen before, the Emberfolk believe it is a sign of an ancient enemy returned - a powerful Sage known as the Eastern Dark.

With the tribes of the valley besieged, the land's mightiest champions rise up to meet the coming threat, but even the combined might of the last Embers and their elemental kin may not be enough to stem the tide of chaos.

Kole has never believed in destiny, but with his people hanging on the precipice and his home on the brink of ruin, he must discover the limits of the one power he fears above all else.

His own.

For when an Ember's fire awakens, even the gods take notice.

Publisher’s Note: Valley of Embers 3rd Edition represents a re-written and improved version of the 2016 self-published release, with new prose, expanded lore, a fresh intro and extended ending.

I'm still going through it but ...

I'll update this review once I finish the book but so far I just wanted to beg the author to stop using a billion names for the same person, especially in a story with many many characters it gets really confusing. I've had to rewind to understand what's going on multiple times and I haven't had that issue with other audiobooks (I've listened to nearly 90 on audible alone). It just randomly cycles between referring to a character by their first name, then maybe their surname, then their position/job, then their nickname1, then nickname2... etc. etc.. It would be fine if the author did this with just the protagonist but it's literally with every character. It's very distracting, confusing, and unnecessary, which is a shame because the plot and dialogue seem good.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
