About this audiobook
The endless road and life of a monster-hunting Runer has gone stale for Tzarik and death is the only alternative. Tired of risking his life for the prejudiced people of Al’Myrah, it’s time to just let go. The only thing that stands in his way: A Runer cannot take his own life, breaking his oath to the dark magic that binds him to the hunt.
When a warlord from the far east threatens her family, Sybal, a young diamond mine heiress with a lavish lifestyle, takes action to protect her family and estate. But when her crime is witnessed, she must stand trial for murder. To save her own life, Sybal calls for a trial by Runing—a dangerous and often fatal dark pact with unknown magic.
Thrown together by law and dark magic oaths, Tzarik and Sybal find themselves entangled with an eldritch force when alone necromancer hell-bent on devastation, rises up, and ravages the eastern continents. Tzarik must conquer his desire for his own demise and train the empathic Sybal to save the people from a risen death.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Once I got over how similar the premise was to the Witcher series I noticed how well written and paced the story was. Only wish the book had a bit more dialogue to flesh out character relationships, but I guess there are 4 more books in the series for that! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Face-paced, dark. Pretty good. The setting and characters are so unique. Don't see "middle eastern" fantasy often.
