Betrayal by one you love is the cruelest cut of all. And when the Lord of Crisfell betrays it is done on a grand scale.

Ashi'mei Candre feels her life is destroyed in that instant, but her love's betrayal goes far further- he is sacrificing his own people.

Amongst the islands of Crisfell, honour and clan is everything, but that may also be their undoing. A dark secret from the past will now come back with a vengeance, and Ashi'mei must put her own troubles aside to face this greater danger. For over the dark sea is a menace of flesh and hunger, which having been turned back once, is only more determined to remake Crisfell in its image. When the danger comes from within as well as without, Ashi'mei's world is doomed. And yet there are two from beyond the island who may help, one a passionate young man from their traditional enemy, and the other a compelling creature with mastery of the flesh to rival the menace beyond the sea.

With friends and clan her only hope, the time to stand and fight has come. Ashi'mei must search within herself for salvation for her people, face her darkest fears, and risk everything she loves.

I really enjoyed this story. It kept me listening with rapt attention the entire time. Admittedly, as a "Yank," it was a bit difficult getting past the Kiwi accent, but that wasn't my biggest problem with the narration. Rather, it had to do with the poor audio editing. I found ...

Thanks PuddyRat - sorry can't do much about the accent, but my technical ability has gone considerably since this was recorded in 2006. Chasing the Bard should be coming to Podiobooks in the next month or so- -the indie feed is live over at Chasingthebard.com but if you prefer you ...

Loved it. can't wait for the sequel- it was left with all the hallmarks of a sequel on the, "last page", as it were. Anyway- Audio quality poor. Naration excellent. Story great. Took me where it intended to take me and got me involved with the lives of the characters ...

I left it open for a sequel and sometime I would like to get back to Ashi'mei's world and see what happened to them. I'm planning on turning my second novel Chasing the Bard into a podiobook and then see what happens after that. Thanks for listening and leaving feedback!

From a huge Chasing the Bard fan, I'm a little disappointed. I listened to the first episode or 2, and found the story less focussed, and spottier. Pip's voice is, as always, worth the price of admission though, so I'll listen on.

Wish you had announced the chapters as they start. I tend to listen as I'm laying in bed falling asleep and I never know where I does off, then have to keep scanning through the next day. But, good story.

I started with chasing the bard/digital magic (both great btw) and worked my was backwards it seems, but i enjoyed the book and look forward to what ever else you will put up for us =p

I’m about to listen to this one again. I really liked it. You took some classic concepts and twisted them into new designs. Love this story and your reading/writing style.
