A Sellsword’s Compassion Audiobook – The Seven Virtues, Book 1

It was a crisp morning, the kind where the air feels fresh and full of possibilities. I sat in my backyard garden, wrapped in a cozy blanket, with a steaming cup of tea in hand. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden glow over the dew-covered grass. It was the perfect setting to dive into “A Sellsword’s Compassion Audiobook” by Jacob Peppers, narrated by Steven Brand. As the first words flowed through my headphones, I felt myself being pulled into a world of intrigue, danger, and unexpected humor.

Aaron Envelar is not your typical hero. He’s a sellsword – cynical, battle-hardened, and utterly disillusioned with the world. Life has taught him that hope is for fools and causes are just another way to get killed. But when he stumbles upon the corpse of a prince and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the entire realm, Aaron finds himself thrust into a war he never wanted any part of. What follows is a gripping tale of survival, loyalty, and yes – compassion.

What struck me most about this story was how relatable Aaron felt despite his rough exterior. His dry wit and sarcastic commentary had me chuckling more than once, even as I found myself rooting for him to navigate the chaos around him. The introduction of the “nagging ball of light” who claims to be the embodiment of compassion added an unexpected layer of humor and depth to the narrative. It’s not often that you find such a unique blend of epic fantasy and comedic relief.

Steven Brand’s narration was impeccable. His voice brought Aaron’s gruff personality to life while also capturing the nuances of other characters – from mythical assassins to madmen with superhuman strength. The pacing kept me hooked throughout, making it hard to pause even when my tea grew cold.

By the time I finished listening, I felt like I had been on an adventure myself – one filled with twists, turns, and moments that made me reflect on what it truly means to show compassion in a harsh world. This audiobook is more than just an epic fantasy; it’s a story about finding humanity in unexpected places.
