A prequel to the lauded Coldfire trilogy, Friedman's latest novel mixes the best of dark fantasy and chilling sci-fi.
A ship full of colonists arrive on a seemingly hospitable planet, only to discover that it harbors a terrifying secret. Soon the settlers find themselves caught up in a desperate battle for survival against the fae, a natural force with the power to prey upon the human mind itself, bringing a person’s greatest fears and darkest nightmares to life.
As Colony Commander Leon Case and Chief Medic Lise Perez struggle to find a way to control the fae before more people die, other settlers have ideas of their own…and they may prove more of a threat to colony than the fae itself.
Nightborn: Coldfire Rising is a tale that blends sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, suspenseful and emotionally intense, as a handful of humans struggle to survive on an alien world that seems determined to kill them. In the end they will have to draw upon both scientific knowledge and mystical traditions to save themselves.
Whether you're just discovering the Coldfire universe through this prequel or returning to it as a classic favorite, Nightborn: Coldfire Rising is the perfect entry point to this unique, genre-blending space fantasy epic.

Interesting characters and vivid storytelling.
A detailed prequel

Audible absolutely needs to do a better job at telling it's customers what they are buying, because nowhere in the description does it say that this contains Nightborn and Dominion.
As for the book itself, I can already see how the dark fantasy world of Erna will function in the trilogy itself, and how the monsters in that world will gain their specific shapes, and how people will be able to fight them with specific methods.
Dominion itself is also an interesting prequel, but I think that one might make more sense to delve into after you've listened to Coldfire trilogy. It's just a two hour long novella, one that doesn't waste time on too much world building or explaining the magic system. So I basically went from listening to Nightborn and wondering how they might actually learn how to use magic to listening to a short story about some guy who seems to be a master of it, using all sorts of terms I have no context for.
Regardless, both make me very excited for the actual trilogy, which I'll listen to as soon as possible.
A really interesting prequel and a starting point
