About this listen

A dangerous game of ancient power will push the last raven to the edge of his limits in the fifth installment of this hardboiled fantasy noir series.

Lucas Rurik is used to being on the bad end of a terrible deal. He's survived wars, seen his entire Guild murdered, and saved reality from certain doom more times than he'd care to count. But none of that has prepared him for the mess he's currently in.

It seems his nemesis, Dr. Callie Mitchell, has tapped into the deepest magic in the Rift and destroyed an Ancient: one of the oldest rift-fused beings, tasked with ensuring the balance of power in the universe. No one knows what she'll do next, and the surviving Ancients seem too distracted by their petty squabbles to take matters into their own all-powerful hands. So it's once again up to Lucas to poke his nose where it doesn't belong and attempt to negotiate with beings that most definitely don't want to be reasoned with.

The clock is ticking, and Lucas will have to tap alliances and use every trick he has up his sleeve to stop a cosmically mighty madwoman on a mission. And time isn't the only thing working against him. The secrets he uncovers could spell the undoing of everything, both on Earth and in the Rift.

A fast-paced, character-driven, quick-quipping tale from the bestselling author of the Hellequin novels, Riftborn is perfect for fans of Lucifer, The Witcher, and the Dresden Files.
