Summary

In this gritty and breathtaking conclusion to the Sorcery Ascendant Sequence, the award-winning fantasy series, a young sorcerer must learn to wield his extraordinary powers to defeat two warring empires.

In a battle of armies and sorcerers, empires will fall.

After young Caldan's parents were slain, a group of monks raised the boy and initiated him into the arcane mysteries of sorcery. But when the Mahruse Empire was attacked and the lives of his friends hung in the balance, he was forced to make a dangerous choice.

Now, as two mighty empires face off in a deadly game of supremacy, potent sorcery and creatures from legend have been unleashed. To turn the tide of war and prevent annihilation, Caldan must learn to harness his fearsome and forbidden magic. But as he grows into his powers, the young sorcerer realizes that not all the monsters are on the other side.

And though traps and pitfalls lie ahead, and countless lives are at stake, one thing is certain: To save his life, his friends, and his world, Caldan must risk all to defeat a sorcerer of immense power.

Failure will doom the world.

Success will doom Caldan.

A Shattering...

A fantastic book with lots of twists and turns. I have loved all the books in this series and this one did not disappoint. A great ending to a great series. Loved the characters who were all well developed and kept my interest throughout, their internal turmoil's only adding to a great story! Well worth ready and well narrated. Big thumbs up from me!

Fitting Finale

If you enjoyed the other 2 it's a satisfying conclusion with some genuinely exciting moments. Throughout the book the various characters have their motives explored and not everything is black and white .

overall an enjoyable experience.

Solid read throughout

This series had its ups and downs.
The story was solid from start to finish. Very few plots did not have me enthralled.
The performance was good, nothing spectacular. Some voices were indistinguishable but most main characters were fine.
Overall a wonderful experience. If you enjoy the classic zero to hero tale then give this series a chance!

a good conclusion

This is probably the most assured of the three books and if you've got this far you'll want to know what happens. It's a solid conclusion, a bit too violent for me at times but that's how it goes. Well written and narrated. Good pace and imagination.
