Fans of the role-playing video game "Dragon Age: Origins" may find the background presented in this prequel of particular interest. Maric becomes a somewhat-reluctant heir to the throne when his mother is betrayed and murdered. Stephen Hoye gives an authoritative and nuanced presentation that shows Maric's emotional growth as he puts his youth behind him and takes on his destiny as leader of the rebel forces who seek to regain the throne. Hoye is a deliberate narrator who maintains a steady, forceful pace as he recounts the many challenges Maric encounters through battles and ordeals against strong odds.
