Alee, a courageous warrior with a heart as strong as her blade, accompanies Marin on her quest. Shadows of the past follow them, as echoes of forgotten tales converge upon their journey. Alee’s loyalty and bravery, coupled with Marin’s thirst for knowledge, are tested to their limits as they navigate treacherous terrains and confront formidable adversaries.
Amongst their companions is Elion, a sagacious enchanter, who deciphers the veil between realms. His cryptic words lead them through the shadows and into the lair of the guardian, Oris, who has kept vigil over the Codex for centuries. A stoic figure bound by ancient oaths, Oris presents challenges that twist the very fabric of their beings.
Marin’s journey, as the companions approach the Codex, they are beset by the sinister Vartai, whose venomous whispers threaten to tear them apart. A creature born from darkness, Vartai’s insidious tendrils of deceit strain the bonds between Marin, Alee, and Elion.
A confrontation as monumental as the ancient trees around them ensues, with spells and swords clashing, and the air pregnant with the power of the ages. The Codex, a seemingly sentient tome, reveals itself not merely as a repository of knowledge, but as the embodiment of a forgotten age. It beckons Marin to accept the mantle of its guardian.
As the final chapter fades and Sarah Beth Goer’s voice lulls the last echoes of Marin’s world, listeners are left with their hearts entwined in the roots of the ancient forest, and minds alight with the eternal flame of knowledge and adventure. Ancient Ruins provided a lot of opportunity to us in order to enjoy wonderful fantasy and Chosen of Chaos could be one of the better options as well if your appetite is not fulfilled with only one novel.
