Veiled Threats (A High Fantasy Romance Prequel)

A Talnarin Novel, Book 1

By: D.E. Chapman

Narrated by: Claire Duncan

Vengeance never tasted so sweet.

Malik and Abel were young men who enjoyed the small pleasures of life. Life was easy and routine with no unexpected surprises along the way. They had little care for the world around them, but all that changed when their life went up in flames.

Literally.

The two brothers managed to escape with their lives but the marks on their soul left them far from unscathed. Hardened and set on revenge, Malik puts his focus on protecting the only family he has left, his brother. While Abel is more than capable of protecting himself, Malik isn't leaving anything to chance.

With the song of revenge drawing Malik in, can he put aside his fury for the sake of his people? Or is the call for blood too strong for him to resist?

Warning: There is a glossary at the end of the book. The events of this short story take place years before the start of Fractured Past, book one of a Talnarin Novel Series. This prequel is told from the perspective of Malik, the main protagonist of the series.

Setting the stage for the series.

This is the backstory of Malik and Abel and sets the stage for the rest of the series. Having read some of the books in the series, I'd wondered about what had happened to set them on their course, especially for Malik. For him, there seems to be no rest at all in his quest for justice. Although it may not be a necessary read, this prequel was a good surprised from the author and helped answered some of my questions. Narrator was good, kept me engaged. Hope the rest of the series will go to audio too.
