Kingdoms and mountains crumble, but legenders endure...


Arkos, a reclusive artisan, bides the long age of peace carving animal bones and remembering his days of adventure. In the ancient city of Tierrion where he dwells, no one suspects he is one of the legenders—those forces of nature clad in human form who spoke with the elements and shaped them into mighty beasts. After the legenders fought in the bygone war against the Living Shadow, they faded into myth and have remained in historical obscurity. That is, until a great evil strikes Tierrion and Arkos saves the city with his power over the elements. This grand revelation of his true identity comes at a cost, however, for there are kings and politicians who would use a legender for their own purposes. Bound by an oath of service, Arkos must obey their commands—dire consequences descend upon legenders unfaithful to their vows.


Fearful that Tierrion’s catastrophe portends war, the kingdoms order Arkos to the uncharted wastelands of the north to discover if the Living Shadow and his legions are preparing to mount an attack once again. Arkos’ journey takes him over perilous mountains and through hostile terrain where he must use his elemental abilities to overcome dangers fatal to man. As he travels onward, a sinister and mysterious figure watches from afar, awaiting his dreadful schemes to unfold. When Arkos reaches the dark unknown and finds secrets lost in history, an unexpected choice confronts him: to take his long-awaited freedom or save the kingdoms that would enslave him.


A thoughtful page-turner, The Legender draws the audience into a fantastical new world of rich characters. Beyond the excitement invoked by adventure and political intrigue, the story at its core resounds with identities redeemed and courage found, arguing that there is more to us than we ourselves would believe.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Jason Link has come back to the US after many years of living in Nicaragua, the tropical land where he proposed to his wife on an active volcano. This makes him sound more adventurous than he really is. Instead of cutting his way through the jungles with a machete, he cuts his way through academia with a pen. He has taught high school English and is now a student at Fuller Theological Seminary. The question he has been asked the most is: “Are you lost?” It may seem that he is, but he is most likely wandering while deep in thought. He dwells often on the art of story, for he sees God’s beauty in the finely crafted plot.

5,0 su 5 stelle Fantasy at it's best
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 31 gennaio 2014

I am not one to lightly compare a fantasy author to Tolkien, for so few have succeeded in creating such vast worlds and peoples as Tolkien did, and even fewer have produced Tolkien's world-spanning mythology. Jason Link has created a vast and beautiful world, peopling it with fantastic creatures and races, while deeply respecting the spiritual underpinnings of the world he has created. While not quite the linguist that Tolkien was, Link excels at poetic description, with striking reminders of epic poetry like Milton's Paradise Lost. There were sections that wanted a bit more polish, but the overall work was truly breathtaking. If there were one negative, it would be that the next installment is not out yet, nor does it seem close. Definitely an author to keep your eye on.

5,0 su 5 stelle Brilliant & Exhilarating
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 25 luglio 2014

I was gripped by intrigue the moment I picked up this book. The characters lend you their eyes and every emotion they feel and the mindlessness of their adversaries are laid bare. The author is a master craftsman, the writing is fluid, the character development is original and authentic, the journey is fast paced, if you think you can guess what's coming next, you have another thing coming.

This book was a joy to read. I cried, laughed and got frustrated, I basically pondered the brilliance of the mind this universe sprang up from. Very unexpectedly mature in delivery, yet accessible.

I have, since reading it way back in February not found any other book that has come close and genuinely cannot wait for the follow-up.

I can only hope the author will keep writing with the same level of confidence, the style is unique and exhilarating, and the story must go on. EPIC!

Couldn't finish it. Too dull and I just didn't care enough about the characters to wade through it. I guess you could say it's high/epic fantasy, so others might enjoy it more. For me, it dragged. (34%,so I gave it a solid go.)

4,0 su 5 stelle Good One.

This book is for people who enjoy the Wheel of Time series and the Kingkiller series. You do have to be someone that enjoys soaking up "world building", as there is a lot of that here.

While all the book descriptions only mention the legender himself, about 40% of the book also concurrently follows the story of a young queen and her first foray into the politics of her own court. I would probably have enjoyed more details of her upbringing that was briefly alluded to in passing, and less poetry/epics about the nations first battle of light vs dark, but hopefully some of that will come up later.

I thought it was a good read. Will get the next one when it comes out.

4,0 su 5 stelle Overall worth sticking with
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 febbraio 2014

The main story line is fine with an indestructible hero getting stuck in, saving the lives of a pretty ungrateful and very forgetful population. Some good original thinking, though possibly tried to cram in one too many plots into this first book. The scene setting was a little disjointed, but the main gist of the tale has its moments. I didn't quite get the attempt at writing a saga as an annex and ended up skipping that bit. The author is obviously developing his craft and the storyline, but has set a good standard. I expect the second helping of this story to improve as the central character seeks his brethren while pursued by a horde of evil conquerors he needs to destroy. Trouble is he can't do it on his own, and I'm not sure that his lost kin are going to be overjoyed at his reappearance when they realised what is following ........ I'm looking forward to the next installment.
