The First Binding The First Binding

Publisher Description

“Epic fantasy at its finest—an homage to storytelling and legend, richly told and endlessly engaging.”—Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter

Don’t miss the first novel in this stunning Silk Road-inspired epic fantasy series from R.R. Virdi—a saga of legends, lies, and the secretive storyteller who’s spun them all.


All legends are born of truths. And just as much lies. These are mine. Judge me for what you will. But you will hear my story first.

I buried the village of Ampur under a mountain of ice and snow. Then I killed their god. I've stolen old magics and been cursed for it. I started a war with those that walked before mankind and lost the princess I loved, and wanted to save. I've called lightning and bound fire. I am legend. And I am a monster.

My name is Ari.

And this is the story of how I let loose the first evil.

“Rich world-building, plenty of action, and devious twists abound. Very highly recommended!” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Kagen the Damned

Magnificant

If there’s even a hint, a tingle, a whisper, or an unnamed feeling about reading this book give in. With a skill as old as humans, this is Storytelling at its best. I am sure I will be reading this one many times again.

I really enjoyed this book.

First Binding - NOTW Remake

Beautifully written, would be a great book if it wasn’t a remake of NOTW. Same characters, same plot, just different words. In my life I never read anything that constitutes such blatant plagiarism as this. It would be best if it was sold as such, then I would have adjusted my expectations and would not have felt ripped off. All I can think of is that Patrick Rothfuss did not protect its intellectual property.
