Dark Lord's Commands

By: M.E. Thorne

Narrated by: Renée Nolen

From the shadows, I shall rise, the Dark Lord of a shattered land and a broken people.

My name is Robert Grailmont. Since I was young, I felt called to serve my fellow citizens, rising through the political ranks with a senator’s seat in my near future. But when I tried to reveal the scandal of the century, I found myself framed by the very people I was trying to expose.

I thought I’d hit rock bottom, never to get back up, but then I heard a call from another world.

"Dark Lord, we need you!"

Now I find myself the king of a ruined kingdom, its people enslaved and its territory occupied by a corrupt empire. It’ll take all my wits, skills, and guile, along with the aid of my ascendant queens, to save Duskhaven and to restore what was lost.

pretty solid start

although a little slow starting for my liking this first book was a pretty solid start. the narration was good also. I'll penalty check out the second one.

A great story with fun and interesting characters.

M.E. Thorne writes a great story overall. Well written characters that are different and fun and the plot moves on at a good pace once it gets going. I look forward to the next book from M.E. Thorne. Audio Version: Renée Nolen does a wonderful job with the story and characters.

First book by Thorne

this was my first book by Thorne so I wasn't exactly sure when I was getting into, but I was also pleasantly surprised. The narrator didn't excellent job with all the voices. I was scintillated and mesmerized by her performance.

love the book

Renée Nolen did a grate job wish she did duet with some one

It was a great read, with an interesting twist.
I enjoyed the book and it's a worthy listen. Now we just have to see where book 2 takes us.

Another great start from Thorne

As always M. E. Thorne has given us a great start to a new series. I thoroughly enjoyed I Don't Want To Be The Hero and I can tell I will enjoy this series just as much. I loved the characters and world. While it is the first time listening to Renée Nolen she does a good job giving each character a unique personality and helps breath life into the world, they do a great job making the story fun and entertaining and I can't wait for the next book in the series.
