À propos de cet audio
The first volume in legendary master and New York Times best-selling author Raymond E. Feist’s epic heroic fantasy series, The Firemane Saga - an electrifying tale of two young men whose choices will determine a world’s destiny.
For centuries, the five greatest kingdoms of North and South Tembria, twin continents on the world of Garn, have coexisted in peace. But the balance of power is destroyed when four of the kingdoms violate an ancient covenant and betray the fifth: Ithrace, the Kingdom of Flames, ruled by Steveren Langene, known as "the Firemane" for his brilliant red hair. As war engulfs the world, Ithrace is destroyed, and the Greater Realms of Tembria are thrust into a dangerous struggle for supremacy.
As a Free Lord, Baron Daylon Dumarch owes allegiance to no king. When an abandoned infant is found hidden in Daylon’s pavilion, he realizes that the child must be the missing heir of the slain Steveren. The boy is valuable - and vulnerable. A cunning and patient man, Daylon decides to keep the baby’s existence secret, and sends him to be raised on the Island of Coaltachin, home of the so-called Kingdom of Night, where the powerful and lethal Nocusara, the "Hidden Warriors", legendary assassins and spies, are trained.
Years later, another orphan of mysterious provenance, a young man named Declan, earns his Masters rank as a weapons smith. Blessed with intelligence and skill, he unlocks the secret to forging King’s Steel, the apex of a weapon maker’s trade known by very few. Yet this precious knowledge is also deadly, and Declan is forced to leave his home to safeguard his life. Landing in Lord Daylon’s provinces, he hopes to start anew.
Soon, the two young men - an unknowing rightful heir to a throne and a brilliantly talented young swordsmith - will discover that their fates, and that of Garn, are entwined. The legendary, long-ago War of Betrayal has never truly ended...and they must discover the secret of who truly threatens their world.

A very satisfying beginning to a new series
Raymond E Feist was the author that got into fantasy in 1991 when I found magician apprentice. Have enjoyed all his riftwar books. King of Ashes, although having some typical fantasy tropes (find me one that doesn’t) was a good fun read. I kept wanting more and was sad when the book came to an end. I would recommend this book. The narrator does a very good job to keep the reader engaged.

It was a slog
I loved Fiest's books. Loved the Riftwar Saga. I looked forward to listening to this one. I was disappointed with this book. The characters weren't well developed, particularly the women characters who were only there for sex, marriage, and/or other needs of men. I found the pacing to be slow and the main conflict didn't have enough tension to drive the plot forward. There was, in my opinion, a lack of world building. I think he's trying to modernise an old trope and it's not working. A lot of point of view shifts that weren't necessary.... muddling some scenes.
Narrator was excellent.
