The Crescent Moon

Teargarden the Rise, Book One

By: R. L. Lutz

Narrated by: David Pickering

To kill an angel

Welcome to Teargarden, a town bereft of law and order. It's controlled by two individuals–the devious innkeeper Therolim, and the mysterious yet beautiful Celina. Their rivalry was about to tear the town part, but all that would change with the arrival of the Archon. Archons were supposedly celestial saviors, sworn to protect the citizens of Agarath from demons, but Celina knew better. In order to protect herself and the rest of the town, she would need to devise a way to kill an angel.

Visit Teargarden, a lawless place on the frontier of nowhere, where ancient prophesies and the might of empires collide. A sword-and-sorcery epic set in a place not unlike Deadwood, Teargarden is a fantasy adventure with a demonic, western twist.

A Fantastic Listen!

This is a great, fast listen that left me hungry for the next installment. David Pickering is an incredible narrator and does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. Highly recommended!

An Amazing Tale!

R. L. Lutz does an amazing job with this first book into the Teargarden Series. The world building isn't done heavily up front but rather progressively revealed as the story progresses. Characters have motives that drive them, though it doesn't always tell you what they are right away. But when it does it is mind blowing. This is probably one of my favorite fantasy novels to come out recently. Definitely recommend.
