Emperor Forged

An Empire Reforged, Book 1

By: K.D. Robertson

Narrated by: Gabriel Michael, Katana Jones

The emperor is dead. Betrayed. Now a new ruler must rise from the ashes.

Mykah had been the Empire’s greatest general before it had rotted to corruption. Now he builds his own empire in order to crush the greatest nation in the world. At his side is the stunning woman who leads the horned barbarians from the north, known as the oni.

The Empire’s armies are limitless. They have dragons, vampires, scores of mages, space-bending foxes, and more patriotic knights than one can imagine. Their industrial network can outfit an army in days.

Sometimes, winning requires a lot more than just a good army and tactics.

Mykah is up against the clock as the Empire rushes to crush his rebellion. He needs to find an edge over his opponent. His old allies turn on him even as he gathers new ones: elite sorceresses, energetic berserkers, and the horned beauty that leads the oni.

Establishing a new empire is hard. Mykah needs to do it before his past catches up to him and grinds him into the dust.

Loved it!!

Always enjoy these type of come back, build from nothing type of stories and this one didn’t disappoint. A fun story come to life in my ear holes!! Well done!!

Unique and Epic!

You can hear it just from the tone and the words the narrator uses. The story best way to describe is epic, very different to a lot of current works, well made and very involving. You get lost in the story, a power struggle that is well told. It is action packed, fast paced, with some touch of harem lit but we'll placed and contributing. The narrators are super involved, granting a lot more detail and emotion than you can feel in other works. I definitely recommend this listen!

High Fantasy Game of Thrones

A loyal Vassal is avenging his betrayed liege, Political intrigue in every corner, and not knowing who to trust. Earned the loyalty of the "Savages" from beyond the border, and his personal cadre of mages. Fighting and capturing Dragon Lords. This story is basically what John Snow from Game of Thrones would be like if his original character development was allowed to progress naturally. Can't wait for the next book.

My only complaint is that with Katana's performance for one character, she made her sound like she was constantly having a panic attack.

A little predictable but doesn’t shy away from intimate scenes.

The overall book was decent. It was Defined, well flushed out, with a clear sense of direction.

Performance was good. Only thing I could say is during the intimate scenes they overlay audio of male and female at times. I understand they are trying to be more realistic. However, I couldn’t hear either at times. Definitely not a negative just different.

The story itself was a little predictable. It has a few twist and turns, but it’s a nice point a-b story. If I could give 3.5 I would. I think it is worth the credit.

good progression fantasy

starts off a little slow and in middle of things but the story really evens out and turns out very well. looking forwards to more
