About this audiobook
For a millenium, the Children of Amarid have served the people of Tobyn-Ser. Drawing upon the Mage-Craft, which flows from the psychic bond they forge with their avian familiars, the Mages of the Order have fulfilled their oaths by healing the injured and ill, repelling invasions by the land’s enemies, and caring for the people in times of crisis. They are governed by laws handed down by Amarid, the first of their kind, who committed the Mage-Craft to the people’s protection. Only once in a thousand years has a mage defied those laws. Theron, a contemporary of Amarid, sought to use his powers to gain wealth and glory. For that he was punished, though not before he brought down a terrible curse on his fellow mages and all who would come after them.
Recently, dark rumors have spread across Tobyn-Ser. Children of Amarid have been seen destroying crops, vandalizing homes, massacring men, women, and children. Have the mages forsaken their oaths? Has Theron returned from beyond death to take his vengeance? Or does Tobyn-Ser face a new threat, one it is ill-prepared and ill-equipped to face?
With the land in turmoil and faith in the Mage-Craft badly shaken, it falls to Jaryd, a young mage with extraordinary potential, but little knowledge of the power he wields, to find and destroy Tobyn-Ser’s enemies before they destroy all he holds dear.
Children of Amarid is the first volume of the LonTobyn Chronicle, David B. Coe’s Crawford Award-winning debut series. This is the Author’s Edit of the original book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my favorite fantasy series yet, the world of Tobyn-sur is wonderfully crafted and I instantly became enthralled with the story line. I liked how the main character is not all powerful and all knowing but he does show the beginnings of having great power. The book is full of heart felt moments and plenty of twists and turns. Not only is the world itself wonderfully crafted but the people within it are too you'll feel sorry for them when they hurt happy for them when they rejoice. I highly recommend this book to any fantasy lover.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5poor writing, poor characters, poor story, poor poor poor , when the story needed a solution/ answer to a problem. the answer was "oh we have big john/or whatever is needed. the sad part about this book is that it's a wonderful idea of a world with poorly developed characters/story .basically story and characters make it a bad read
