About this listen

The Witch Queen strikes!

Minalan the Spellmonger has a problem: Mycin Amana, the undead consort of Korbal the Necromancer, is not only occupying one of the largest castles in the kingdom; she’s also occupying the recently-dead body of his former lover, rapist, and mother of his children, Isily of Greenflower.

As the crises in the heart of the kingdom grows, Minalan is tasked to force the so-called Witch Queen of Darkfaller from her new stronghold using any means necessary. Unfortunately, the castle belongs to his rival in the royal court and future monarch Prince Tavard, whose ideas about how to do this are archaic and doomed to failure.

Mycin Amana is a master sorceress who is more than 4,000 years old; Prince Tavard is an entirely mundane and completely self-absorbed knight in his 20s. If Darkfaller is to be retaken, Minalan knows he will have to use the cacophony of ancient memories inside his head to do it.

Alas, those memories are driving him mad as they daily impede his progress as much as they advance it. His bouts of depression, obsession, anxiety, and rage are only getting worse as he plans a daring raid to rescue the hundreds of magi that Mycin Amana plans to turn into an army of undead Nemovorti.

Even as he is producing incredible wonders from his workshop at breakneck speed, whispers flow across the kingdom about his sanity to the point where Minalan is now referred to as the Mad Mage of Sevendor. His best friends begin to conspire to murder him. His allies question his judgement. And his foes close in as they sense his weakness.

But Minalan’s challenge is clear: become the greatest wizard in history, or not only see his war against Darkfaller fail, but leave his entire world to certain doom. Threading the needle between catastrophe and salvation has never been more difficult or cost so much.

Yet as King Rard promotes him to Marshal Arcane—the official responsible for facing the magical threats to the kingdom—Minalan is forced to balance his temporal powers with his thaumaturgical ones and navigate the violent shoals of insanity.

But can he do that without losing the confidence of his friends and the trust of his allies? The hope of his people? The goodwill of the enormously powerful Sea Folk? A new title and position is helpful, but it will take courage and daring to see Minalan the Spellmonger become the Marshal Arcane!

Still great, but not his best

The only reason I didn’t get give five stars, like some of his other books is because I felt he could’ve push the story along further in this book.

Another brilliant, spellmonger novel

In a continuation of the spellmonger saga once again, I found it hard to quit listening. It’s always a surprise when the book reaches the end. And I can’t wait for the next one.

Found this one wasn’t up to expectations

First of the, this was another excellent performance.

I love this series, so I was a little surprised I found myself tuning out a little. For the first time in the series it feels that the story never really moved the storyline.

I was left underwhelmed and to be honest a bit bored.

Whistling S and rushed narration

Just didn't like the rush to get to the next word. The pronunciation of S is harsh too.

A great addition to the series

The story is well imagined and written. The multitude of amazing characters are all balanced while not taking away from the main character’s story and experiences. Can not wait for more.

Spectacular...as usual

The continuity of story lines through the entire series is exceptional . The world is vividly painted in words, the characters comfortably predictable in their nature and the twists still unpredictable. The narrator is the difference between good and great. can't wait for the next chapter.

Wishing for more

I really enjoyed book 15 and like most of the Spellmonger series, I’ll likely listen to again a couple times. Hopefully Terry has the next book ready soon .
