Torn

Heirs of Anarwyn, Book 1

By: J.W. Elliot

Narrated by: Joseph Tweedale

The magic knows. It feels. And it is searching for him.

For 2,000 years, the Order of the Varaná has nurtured and protected the Anarwyn, a sentient magic that has developed a symbiotic relationship with humans. The Order has kept the land free of the ageless evil called the Bragamahr that once controlled the destiny of humankind. Over the long years, the secrets of the magic have been lost, and the Varaná have dwindled until only one remains. Then, from the shadows come the Mahrowaiths of the Bragamahr, ancient creatures of evil who attempt to hunt the remaining heirs of Anarwyn to extinction.

The Anarwyn seeks out a young man, named Cam, who can stand between the rise of the Bragamahr and the final destruction of the Anarwyn. When the terror and death of the Mahrowaiths find Cam first, he must choose between saving his friends by assuming the terrible burden of the magic that killed his mother or denying his heritage and remaining free. The Anarwyn might not wait for him to decide.

This series is perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Shadow and Bone, Wheel of Time, and Mistborn.

Great new fantasy series!

Very seldom does one find an audiobook where the narrator captures so clearly the emotion and feeling of a world. Joseph Tweedale's masterful performance brings this interesting cast of characters to life. The world is a fascinating and fresh portrayal of a land divided against itself and in torment. The magic system has all the hallmarks of high fantasy with twists and turns that are surprising and intriguing. In this world magic isn't inert. It's conscious and capable of great mischief. I anxiously await the next installment.
