Pendragon #5: Black Water by D.J. Machale | Narrated by William Dufris
Hobey-Ho! Lets Go!
If I thought the previous book in the series, was the turning point in the ten book story arc, then I was only half right, in Pendragon: Black Water, everything changes, Saint Dane is more powerful than ever, and the story telling much more intense.

Hobey-ho!

When Sara and Jamie discovered the artifacts, they sensed the pull of a dim, distant place, a world of misty forests, ancient magics, mythical beings, ageless bards, and restless evil.

It’s a real treat to hear the author read his other own work, especially when like Gaiman, they are as equally proficient at telling tales as they are at writing them. His narration is as good as any I have heard, whether it be author, actor or professional audio-book artist, always clear [...]
