About this listen

The final book in the best-selling Books of Beginning trilogy that began with The Emerald Atlas, which the New York Times called "a new Narnia for the tween set."

The adventures of siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma come to a stunning conclusion when they must find the last Book of Beginning - the Book of Death - before the Dire Magnus does, for when all three books are united, their combined power will be unstoppable.

Soon Emma is on a journey to places both worldly and otherworldly, confronting terrifying monsters and ghosts, and what is darkest within herself. As the fabric of time begins to fray, she becomes the final piece of an extraordinary puzzle. Only if she can master the powers of this most dangerous book will she, Kate, and Michael be able to save the world from the dramatic, deadly final confrontation between magical and ordinary people that the Dire Magnus has in store.

Loved the story and performance.

Any book read by Jim dale is a winner in my opinion.

While I am a fan of Jim Dale, the story itself really kept me interested from start to finish.

Great easy listening story.

I got it because I liked Jim dale.

It turned out to be a really good trilogy. It has a well thought out plot. My only complaint is it wasn’t longer. A couple more books and it would have really fleshed the story out. Perfect road trip story!
