Publisher's Summary
The Tournament of the Sacred Sword sounded like exactly the type of thing Keras would enjoy: a series of challenges for thousands of contestants seeking a chance to fight for the Sacred Sword of Earth.
He knew there would be challenges. It wouldn’t be a high-stakes tournament without a few high-profile assassinations and mysterious murders, after all. But Keras wasn’t ready to run into someone from his homeland, and he certainly wasn’t prepared for the revelations that came from their confrontation.
Still reeling from the strange revelations of their meeting, Keras plunges back into the fight, preparing for the battle royale - a massive free-for-all contest outside of the scope of the standard tournament rounds. When the consequences of that match tear at the bonds between his allies, he’ll have to face new challenges alone.
Satoshi Muramasa, the strange swordsman from the distant kingdom of Artinia. Crown Princess Edria Song, the Wielder of Diamantine. Ishyeal Dawnsglow, the Wielder of Soulbrand.
When their blades clash, the heart of the world will tremble.

Story
Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake. But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

Story
For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Oh MY GOD, you learn so many things in this book.
First of all this book 3rd in the weapons and wielders series wrapped up the sacred sword tournament and there are so many Twists and turns you're not sure where to look. Friends become foes and foes become friends, alliances are made and deadly battles fought. We get some serious back story for lots of different characters including some from other series in this universe.
Of course this series is filled with fights, sparring matches, magical trinkets, tricky maneuvers, sass, and sharp quips and jabs.
Andrew Rowe does an amazing job at building a world (worlds) that are so real you feel what they feel. and Nick Podehl really brings it into 3D Technicolor. the two together are unstoppable.
I can't wait for more of their stories.

I found some of the long long battle scenes a bit *too* long but I'll still re-listen again someday. huge fan of this series, and loved the creativity, and item descriptions, and the way they were used in battles creatively. Nick always brings such life to these stories as well!

A well written story, would 100% recommend
Ok, so the only thing I didn't like but understood was the amount of Filler stuff there was as the tournament progressed. However, I understood it and appreciated the little side antics and adventures we went on. Overall, this book was awesome! was a pleasure to both read and listen to it on Audible.
Sadly, like all good storytelling, I was left wanting more when it ended. Not sure if I will survive the waiting for the next book to come out. I need MORE! :'(

amazing world building for an amazing series.
Nick: I honestly look for audio books based on your involvement, and your ability to play multiple characters makes you a treasure.
Andrew: You have created an inclusion army world built of out characters with dimension. There are things in your writing that apply good role models for younger audiences and I hope you know how appreciated that is in a fantasy series.
overall : this isn't my favorite series in this world. yet it still manages to keep me tuned in, interested, and feeds me information on the world. it has some luls, but each one is used to set up another point of action or emotional payoff.
