About this listen

Rich in magic and adventure, Michael J. Sullivan’s soaring fantasy novels are masterworks of heroism, love, and sacrifice. Now, in the New York Times best-selling Age of War, the epic battle between humankind and the cruel godlike beings who once ruled them finally ignites in all its fury.

The alliance of humans and renegade Fhrey is fragile - and about to be tested as never before. Persephone keeps the human clans from turning on one another through her iron will and a compassionate heart. The arrogant Fhrey are barely held in check by their leader, Nyphron, who seeks to advance his own nefarious agenda through a loveless marriage that will result in the betrayal of the person Persephone loves most: Raithe, the God Killer.

As the Fhrey overlords marshal their army and sorcerers to crush the rebellion, old loyalties will be challenged while fresh conspiracies will threaten to undo all that Persephone has accomplished. In the darkest hour, when hope is all but lost, new heroes will rise...but at what terrible cost?

Amazing Journey

I have been a big fan of the Ryira series and this is the back story of how it all began. I would love to see this book as a movie and I thank #Audible1 for making it available!!!

Great continuation of an exciting series

Once again, Michael J Sullivan does not disappoint. This series is as addictive as Riyria, and hidden references between the two is a pleasant bonus. Tim Gerard Reynolds is phenomenal, as usual. Can't wait for the next book!

Sullivan is on a roll

the continuation off the history and legend from the ryera chronicles are a blast to go through. the story by itself is worth the read even if u have not read the ryera chronicles. #audible1

Really bummed out....

that the next book isn't available. I was totally plugged into the story and wanted to know more. It is another excellent book in the series written by Michael J. Sullivan, as well the narration by T.G. Reynolds who raises anything he narrates to a whole new level. The ending was such a surprise' not at all what what I thought would happen, but I guess this is what makes this series such an amazing journey. The 'Age of War' will not disappoint!

Yes yes yes

Loved it. Probably my favorite of all the series in the Elan universe, including Revelations and Chronicles.

Story was beyond solid.
Tim Reynolds was on point.

The waiting for the next one will be the hardest part.

There is loss, but the characters still shine.

Maybe not quite as compelling as the first two books, but still, so so good. Threds are tied, answerable given, more questions are asked. War is in the name so you know there is loss, so much of it. Still the characters shine and I love them all, even the horrible ones.

Aside from that, how was the parade?

This book contains a senseless death, an inexplicable explosion, a manipulative gosling, unresolved treachery, star-crossed love, many miraculous coincidences, and innumerable loose ends. If there wasn’t an immediately available sequel I would be very unhappy.
