An ancient legend. An enslaved people. Yet the cry of freedom lives on in one man.... The Year 1056. For as long as they can remember, the Agban have been slaves of the great Rameress Empire. Forgotten by the world, they live in squalor in the desert, consigned to work in the mines under brutal guards. Ancient legends whisper about a lost noble race, but the Agban have lost all hope in the old stories...until Dryhten, a simple slave, dares to believe that the stories could be true. Might Imminya, the Most High God of their ancestors, deliver them from tyranny? But first, to convince the people, Dryhten must uncover their secret past...and set out on a journey so arduous that it will test the limits of their strength and faith. An epic fantasy-in the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien- to capture both mind and heart. Book One, The Hidden Kings Trilogy.

Freedom Cry Matthew Burden 9781602901858 Books Reviews
I picked up this book because Matt Burden was a fellow grad student. He was a quiet young man, and yet there was no doubt by his demeanor that he was the kind of guy who thought about life at a deep level. Later, I would catch Matt reading classic books, medieval texts, and profound theological treatises whenever I passed by him in library. In Freedom Cry, this bright young man has transferred his deep thinking into great writing. Freedom Cry has the makings of a classic with its rich characters, well-placed suspense, both human glory and human depravity, and sobering moments for personal reflection.
Burden has created a world that is both shocking and hopeful. I was sad to finish the last page and look forward to his next book, "The Conqueror's Song" to see where the adventure turns next in this superb epic.
If you like Tolkien, you'll appreciate Matt Burden's work. If you like Richard Adams' work, you'll like the robust characters in Freedom Cry.
The Agban, maltrated slaves of the Ramaress Empire, cling deperately to the stories and legends that they are the last remnants of the lost kingdom of Ferranor. When their Ayate, or storyteller, is put to death for telling banned stories of Ferranor, he gives young Dryten a mission with his dying breaths. Ancient secrets are revealed that revive the slaves' flagging hopes. Dryten and his friends concoct a dangerous plan for one last desperate attempt to escape.
The last attempt fifteen years prior left Dryten's father, the rebel leader, and a hundred other slaves dead. The slaves are fearful of trying again, especially with rumors of traitors in their midst. But with the help of a young Ramaressian guard named Jorhaggen, they break free of the slave camps and begin a deperate quest toward their legendary homeland - but to do it they must cross the breadth of the Ramaress Empire. With the most powerful army in the world bearing down on them, they fight terrible battles and make unlikely allies. But can this ragtag bunch of refugees really hope to survive the crushing weight of the Empire long enough to escape to the sea and their ancestors' homeland? Their flight will change the course of an entire Empire.
This is a beautifully written tale of faith, persevereance, forgiveness, and courage in the face of overwhelming adversity. The characters, while many, are very memorable and well created with an excellent storyline and a wonderful depth of scope. One thing odd was the "Special" sword, Allaris, it didn't seem to do much more than light up and look cool. Dryten hardly even used it. Maybe we will see more of it in The Conqueror's Song. There are few fantasy elements to this story. It is a very clean book with no magic, strange creatures, or anything of the like. I will definitely be buying the next two books in the trilogy when they come out. People who love Lord of the Rings or The Blood of Kings trilogy will probably enjoy this epic adventure as well.
Excellent book and looking forward to the next two. hope more folks find your books and read them. Rev. Ron Libby
