About this listen
The gods have been proven mortal, and new heroes will arise as the battle continues in the sequel to Age of Myth - from the author of the Riyria Revelations and Riyria Chronicles series.
In Age of Myth, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan launched listeners on an epic journey of magic and adventure, heroism and betrayal, love and loss. Now the thrilling saga continues as the human uprising is threatened by powerful enemies from without - and bitter rivalries from within.
Raithe, the God Killer, may have started the rebellion by killing a Fhrey, but longstanding enmities dividing the Rhune make it all but impossible to unite against the common foe. And even if the clans can join forces, how will they defeat an enemy whose magical prowess renders them indistinguishable from gods?
The answer lies across the sea in a faraway land populated by a reclusive and dour race who feel nothing but disdain for both Fhrey and mankind. With time running out, Persephone leads the gifted young seer Suri, the Fhrey sorceress Arion, and a small band of misfits in a desperate search for aid - a quest that will take them into the darkest depths of Elan, where waits an ancient adversary as fearsome as it is deadly.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 36
Wolf of the North: It has been generations since the Northlands have seen a hero worthy of the title. Many have made the claim, but few have lived to defend it. Timid, weak, and bullied, Wulfric is as unlikely a candidate as there could be. Jorundyr's Path: Jorundyr's Path is walked only by the brave. As Wulfric pursues Adalhaid's Blood Debt, he soon learns that the path to revenge is never easy. The Blood Debt: A blade fit for a hero. An army for a tyrant. A reckoning long awaited, and a tale reaching its end.

Very good story with nice historical breakthroughs!
Thought at some points characters are too wavering and unsure of themselves to a frustrating point, the story and pace are really good and entertaining! The anticipation is there and the flow of discoveries.

Stunning page turner! Impossible to stop listening
This applies to every book in this gripping group of stories. I haven't taken the time to review all the books but everything I've listened to from this author and by this performer are absolutely brilliant. Like many of you i arrived here after following Hadrian's and Royce's journeys, and I've loved every minute of it.

Very good as Usual
90% female heroes which is rare and I havent decided if its good yet.
Regardless, a very good story and loved the little tells from my favorite heroes Royce and Hadrien.
