About this listen

To save the world, first you have to survive it.

The battle for freedom has left Emaneska reeling and desolated. Both Scalussen and Arka are scattered to the winds. With the Blazing Throne now empty and the Arka Empire for the taking, the race to claim Emaneska has begun.

Farden and Mithrid have been stranded alone in strange eastern lands by errant magick. They battle not to return home, but to uncover an ancient weapon capable of defeating a god. A god who desires nothing but chaos.

In Emaneska, the survivors of the Rogue’s Armada search for safer havens, something rare and lacking in the uncharted waters of the south.

Treachery and pain await them both, but the price of failure is steeper. New enemies lie in wait on those foreign paths. Dark creatures born of nightmares and forgotten powers. Warlords set on mastering magick. And an old threat reborn, doggedly pursuing one fate: the death of Farden.

This book was spectacular!

A worthy finish to the continuing battle so far.

The characters leap out at you to become brilliant unforgettable players in this epic battle between good and evil.

The book series is equal in every way to Game of Thrones and dare I say , Lord of The Rings , in my opinion

Ben Galley you are an outstanding writer ; up there with the best of them .

Can’t wait until the next book in this series is published.

I would this describe this as gritty fantasy. It's set in a world plagued by waring factions and a la d newly plagued by demons once again. I like how the story is gritty, it makes it feel realistic despite the fantasy genre. I would say that you need to listen to the previous books by this author for this story to make sense. If you didn't start right from the beginning when Fardon was a young man before he became a King, this tale being told might not make a lot of sense, as a lot of the characters carry over from that original series of books, not to mention the references to past characters and events. Narrator is good too.

Gritty Fantasy

I found this an extremely hard listen. far to many characters or perhaps it was the jumping from place to place I just lost track of the story line. that'll be a no from me.

very confusing
