Dragons Riders: The last noble warriors in the realm. Only heroes can embolden the ordinary. For centuries, millennia, the Dragon Riders galvanized generation after generation, adding Riders to their ranks and birthing dragons from their eggs. But there are no more heroes. War with the Andarens is like nothing the Riders, nor the armies of Erador, have ever faced. In the place of heroes, there are only soldiers now. Fodder for the machine of war. This time of twilight is set to be the crowning hour of the dark when the light is losing its grip.

The adventuring industry drives the economy of Arth, a world much like our own but with more magic and fewer vowels. Monsters' hoards are claimed, bought by corporate interests, and sold off to plunder funds long before the Heroes' Guild actually kills the beasts. Of course, that's a terrible arrangement for the Shadowkin; orcs, goblins, kobolds, and their ilk must apply for to become Noncombatant Paper Carriers (or NPCs) to avoid being killed and looted by heroes.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

The Echoes of Fate, a Prophecy Uttered Unto the World a Thousand Years Ago, Cannot Be Denied....
Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium - elves are superior. They are faster, stronger, and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them.
Unaware of the shadow that looms in the east, the six kingdoms of man are fractured, unallied, and clawing at each other's gates for more power.
This isn't just war set to ravage the land, but a slaughter - the world of man cannot hope to survive.
Thrown into the heart of this war is a man known by many names; an Outlander of the wilds, an assassin, a ranger. Asher was born a thousand years ago, to a life he doesn't remember. Forty years of brutal training and killing for money has beaten the earliest years of his life away, leaving his ties to the oldest of evils a mystery to all....
Rise of The Ranger Launches an Unmissable Epic Fantasy Series.

Listen to this
There’s a bad review about the narrator that initially put me off this book until I sampled it and realised that they were the miserable type of person that would complain if they won the lotto....Anywho, I’m so glad I got this book as the trilogy is one of the best I’ve ever listened too/read. All the action you could want but with a Brandon Sanderson style story. There’s always something going on, but you can easily follow as the words paint such a vivid picture in your mind. The characters are flawlessly written and you feel really connected to them as they go through their individual trials and tribulations. I can’t say enough good things about this book and the two that follow it. Great pacing, action aplenty and a gripping tale. I highly recommend this series.

Slow basic storyline, poor narration
The storyline was a little too basic and was let down by poor a narrator whose lack of inflection when speaking as a character often left it confusing as to when one character stopped and another started.

It's ok
The narrator was what made it for me. There were moments where it was extremely cringe worthy and made me angry at myself buying it.
The story is still good enough for me to buy the next book to see what happens. 6 out of 10. Maybe 6.5 out of 10

Throughly enjoyed this book, despite the negative reviews about the narrator.
I found the narrator easy to listen to and follow the different characters.
The story itself kept me hooked to the very end! Looking forward to the next book!
