    About this audiobook

    In 2002 ADR, the Empire of Argens is still reeling from the usurpation of its centuries-old throne by a landless adventurer. A ferocious dwarven warrior named Yula and his sorcerous human allies not only defeated the flower of elvish knighthood, but exposed the former dynasty as nothing less than demons in disguise. Now a young captain, ruined by his loyalty to the old regime, has one last chance to redeem his family name in the officer training corps being established by the hated new emperor.

    Captain Justin gets much more than he bargained for, however, as he is sent on a secret mission to the North Mark, hotbed of disloyalty even in the old days and now on a trip-wire for revolt. Given only days to assemble a company, march north and defuse the conspiracy, the new captain will be tested too often, too hard and far too soon.

    "The Ring and the Flag" is the first story in the Shards of Light saga set in the Lands of Hope, the creation of Wm. L. Hahn. More than twenty years in the making, the Lands hold tremendous adventure, a sense of history, and a strong theme of the difficult choices heroes must make when faced by the power of Despair.

      I listened to this book newly released on audio. The author narrates it himself. He has a great acting voice bringing me into the story and holding my attention.

      Sounds effects were also added at places throughout the narrative which brings it alive. I enjoyed the evil part a lot because of this. Listening to this book was quite fun. It ended too soon, although the storyline was completed.

      There are three more books (ebooks) in this series. I would love to hear the rest on audio. The tale in audio definitely made me happy. I think it also helped me relate better to a very stoic character because of the voice acting. It easier to visualize and connect. The author did a great job with this.

      Definitely, recommend this tale, but especially in audio. I will be reading the rest of the series and checking out more by this author. I listened to it in one sitting. This first book is short and so the audio is too.
