About this listen

The great powers are stirring, and Holt and Ash are ready to return to the fight.

A summons from the Life Elder sets them on a perilous mission, leading to steaming jungles and blistering islands where ancient secrets will challenge everything they know of magic and dragons.

Talia, the Red Queen, is beset on all sides by pirate raiders and marauding mercenaries. Empress Skadi has abandoned her, battling uprisings in her own lands. As the noose tightens on Feorlen, Talia faces a difficult choice: let her people suffer or turn her powers against mortal foes?

Osric Agravain has found hope with his newly bonded black dragon, but some wounds run deeper than flesh and bone. Along the Fallow Frontier, he seeks the inner peace that has long eluded him.

And within the sanctum at Falcaer, Paragon Adaskar is struggling to unite the fracturing riders. If he fails, ruinous chaos will break across the world.

For when Elders and Paragons quarrel, kingdoms will fall.

With every new book I like it more!

Every new book in this series I love the story more and more. I feel for the characters and can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. Considering listening to other series by this writer too now.

Great

I really wanted more time with Holts' perspective and struggled with impatience during the others! But overall, this book is mostly a good building of the tensions happening in the world towards their tipping points while having just enough feel-good bits to leave you feeling alright at the end.

An amazing book 3

Loved the change in perspectives, seeing situations from so many sides, it really gives the book another layer of depth.

Beyond that, the great things about this book are simply too numerous. You have heros with flaws who try to work and grow, strong female sub-leads that feel authentic and inspiring. A great magic system that's explained very well and utilized in such a way as not to be OP. Not to mention the audio performance, they really breathe life into the characters.

Hope others enjoy the series as much as I, looking forward to book 4.

A book worth savouring

This was a hard book to get through. Not because it's bad. Not by any stretch. It was fantastic. I savoured every minute of this book. It was emotionally difficult.

At the end, when Holt and Ash said their sense sharing phrase, I got goosebumps. So good!
