About this listen
Winner of 2019 Voice Arts Award, Audiobook Narration - Fantasy
"Closer, mortal. You are here, finally, to feed the Aching God...."
The days of adventure are passed for Auric Manteo. Retired to the countryside and isolated with his scars and riches, he no longer delves into forbidden ruins seeking dark wisdom and treasure. But just as old nightmares begin plaguing his sleep, he receives an urgent summons back to that old life.
To save his only daughter, he must return to the place of his greatest trauma: the haunted Barrowlands. Along with a group of inexperienced companions and an old soldier, he must confront the dangers of the ancient and wicked Djao civilization. He has survived fell beasts, insidious traps, and deadly hazards before. But how can he contend with the malice of a bloodthirsty living god?

A D&D quest gone horribly wrong (in a good way)
I listened to this one on audiobook, which was narrated by Simon Vance, and damn did he do a great job.
The Aching God takes place in a setting that just begs to be a pen and paper roleplaying game. It feels like a classic quest, but one infused with rising dread instead of hopeful optimism. The world is fleshed out in vivid detail; its politics and religion play vital roles, and every npc--er, I mean character is brimming with unique personality. If, like me, you like your books like you like your games: full of harrowing adventures, magic swords, cursed relics, and terribly hazardous dungeon-crawls, then this book is not to be missed.
While it does have a satisfying conclusion there's plenty world left to explore, and the sequel (Sin Eater) is already upon us.

Intriguing characters, rich history, adventure!
I listened to the short story on audible and it piqued my interest. I’m glad I pursued that interest because this was a great listen. I developed a connection to the characters that usually doesn’t happen until book 2 or 3 in a series. There is a tapestry of rich history that carries the characters through their journey. The story itself if well-told and interesting. The pace is exciting and will carry you into late nights! I can’t wait to listen to the next one.
