Chronicles of Ancient Darkness: Audiobooks in Order

Let us be clear about the main attraction: Ian McKellen reads these books with the full weight of his craft, finding hushed menace, dry wit and genuine tenderness in Paver’s ancient world. The result is the rare family audiobook that silences the whole car; you could know nothing of the series and still be held by the voice alone.The two volumes in our catalogue, Soul Eater and Outcast, are the third and fourth books, each a manageable seven hours or so, fourteen in total. Younger listeners meeting the series here will follow well enough, though starting earlier deepens everything.Ideal for shared listening on long journeys, for confident readers of ten and up, and for any adult who suspects, correctly, that great children’s fiction is simply great fiction.
