Tempest of Bravoure

Kingdom Ascent

By: Valena D'Angelis

Narrated by: Kathryn Vinclaire

A failed prophecy. A conquered kingdom and a Resistance fighting against the odds. Will the return of a runaway mage change the fate of Bravoure? Can our heroes unite or will secrets tear everything apart?

We live brave. We die free.

Darkness has fallen upon the golden kingdom of Bravoure. Once the beacon of an alliance uniting four races, Bravoure is now under the oppression of an elven prince from beneath the surface. Not even the prophecy, the one that foretold his demise in the holy fires of the Dragonborn, was able to stop him.

Ahna, a runaway mage, rises above the decades of grief and returns to the fight, joining the united soldiers of the Resistance. Despite her origins, she is accepted by these brave heroes who will never let their differences stand in the way of freedom.

She and the rebels embark on a covert mission to save the kingdom, but the past and the secrets she keeps will soon come knocking, and Ahna will face her demons as she faces the false king.

Critic reviews

"An emotionally charged adventure that sword and sorcery fans will devour. It seems like we're only scratching the surface of some deeper lore." (Literary Titan)

Battle the darkness. Battle inner demons

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Gorgeously narrated by Kathryn Vinclaire, Kingdom Ascent is a wildly, adventurous fantasy you won't soon forget. Ahna is an amazing protagonist character: well fleshed out, flawed yet fiery determined to bring together the necessary allies to bring the kingdom of Bravoure out of the darkness of the dark elf king and back to peace. With a unique narrative take upon the mythical elven races and parted with wickedly intense, engaging action; this first book of the Tempest of Bravoure, lives up to the expectations that comes with epic fantasy. Highly recommended.
