The Grey War Saga

Book One: The Gathering

By: Damon R. Laws

Narrated by: Keval Shah

D’Lean, a member of a long-forgotten order of mystical monks, believes something has gone wrong with the Prophecy of Return. A prophecy that has given hope for thousands of years to the people against the evil rule of the dragon King Marcus the Red.

However, with the capturing of Balor, the king’s brother, he finds out the truth and so much more. The prophecy has indeed been interrupted, plus the king is breeding half-breed abominations for a sinister and vile purpose.

Soon D’Lean, a redeemed Balor, and Laurana, the first woman monk in thousands of years, set out to give life to the broken prophecy. Along the way, they gather a group of unlikely help. Mara a thief that cannot help her wandering hands, Hayden, a boy, and would-be knight, and twins Na’Resse and Thrace, a brother and sister born into slavery.

Will their bonds of friendship and love be enough to overcome thousands of years of oppression and hate, or will the darkness emerge and destroy the world?

Keval Shah's AWESOME narration rocked the book!

Keval Shah is going to the name to listen for in fantasy! I'm here to see what else he can do as a narrator and he knocked this out of the ballpark! Author Damon R. Laws couldn't have found a better reader for 'The Grey War Saga'. In the book, we find that something has gone horribly wrong with the Prophecy of Return, which has been deliberately 'corrupted' in service to King Marcus the Red. The dragon ruler is propagating half-breed abominations that will insure his evil rule indefinitely. D'Lean and a group of other unlikely heroes go forth to give life to the broken prophecy. Talk about an epic adventure! This is an incredible start to a promising series. The writer takes special care in developing a story all his own with a premise that is unique in the quality of the heroes! This makes the fantasy a bit more realistic with flawed characters we can identify with and grow to love. He takes time to develop a world we can see so very clearly in our mind's eye with richly descriptive text that breathes a special life into the narrative. I came along on this beautiful adventure because of the narration. What a pleasure and privilege to stay for the incredible story. Thanks for sharing this with us all.

WOW

I love this story and can't wait for more. No one could have narrated this story like Keval. THANK YOU

A world of Fantasy, Dragons, and Tattoos!

Love this story! The characters are dynamic (both written and voiced) and the world brings the reader to a wonderful place! Favorite part involves purple glitter yarn!

Not A Good Listen

I seem to be in the minority, but I found the narration to be rather lacking. I won’t call it horrible, but it wasn’t too far removed. The pacing, the absence of emotion, the inflection, the mix-and-match character voice, and the random-seeming placement of emphasis… . It’s disjointed and awkward,

With a good narration and editing, a story can be magical and transport me to fantastic places. I returned the book after a dozen chapters.
