In a world where the damned must climb an eternally growing tower only to die and try again, Daniel is giving a chance to start anew with his memories intact and the ability to slay the wraith that supervise the climbs. Behind the scenes, deities who feel the tower is a perversion work to eliminate its creator, and the tower’s creator has his own agenda to keep the end of the world at bay. Welcome to the Tower of Ruin.
This audio book is a bit on the short side, yet is an amazing set up for the events sure to come. The main character finds that this climb has changed just enough that he can’t forsee everything, but has heard enough tales of what had come from companions in a past cycle that he has a general idea of what to expect. There is a weight to his actions, and the way he handles the danger in front of him is frankly refreshing.
This Audiobook is easy to recommend for fans of old school Ravenloft, or who just want a dark tower climb where the stakes are real.
