DAWN OF FIRE The Fire, Book 1

This fantasy audiobook presents a major challenge for narrator Aven Shore. She must voice myriad characters ranging from female teen twins to an ancient male dragon. That's because its setting, the world of Zannondale, is a marvelously diverse place. A small group of warriors, led by the elderly Julius and his surrogate sons, Darion and Dain, wage guerrilla warfare against the nefarious Baron Chronus. Shore portrays the characters with a mix of appropriate accents and timbres. What results is an epic tale pitting good against evil, with Shore driving the action. Happily, this first volume in the Fire series has a conclusion that leaves the listener satisfied but looking forward to the next adventure.
