About this audiobook
The call of fire beckons Arden Ashwen towards an inevitable oblivion, one he wishes with his whole heart would soon come to end him. Despite his trepidations, he is tasked with a mission to calm the rising tension of The Kin, a species said to be descended from Dragons.
Sailing to the South to fulfill his mission, can Arden survive against the rising of the tide which threatens to sweep him away? Or, in the end, will he be just another casualty to the flame?
