Iron. Book 1

Andrey No is a young writer working in a difficult genre—at the intersection of traditional science fiction and modern intellectual prose. This time, the author decided to try his hand at epic “dark” fantasy. We present in audio format the first book of his saga “Iron.” The Bleeding Canyon is a sacred place, and its inhabitants follow the highest purpose set forth for them. But an endless hunger, isolation, and moral decay have long been pushing the locals to the thought that there is actually no such goal—the place is cursed. There is almost no vegetation, and the rocks seem to have been washed in blood, so high is the iron content in the ore here. Escape from the canyon is impossible: it is besieged by cannibals, only restrained at the border by the valor of the Brotherhood that Watches the Night. And why escape, when duty to iron is everything above all? Yet the tribe’s unrelenting hardships, confusion in the ancestors’ commandments, the unchanging leadership of the chief, and complete lawlessness among his close circle raise ever more uncomfortable questions among the inhabitants. The heroes from different corners of the canyon will have to grow up separately or together, and figure out what the others have long preferred to ignore… Listen to the first book of this exciting saga!
