About this listen

The fourth novel of the galaxy-spanning Sun Eater series merges the best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe continues down a path that can only end in fire.

Hadrian Marlowe is trapped. For nearly a century, he has been a guest of the Emperor, forced into the role of advisor, a prisoner of his own legend. But the war is changing. Mankind is losing.

The Cielcin are spilling into human space from the fringes, picking their targets with cunning precision. The Great Prince Syriani Dorayaica is uniting their clans, forging them into an army and threat the likes of which mankind has never seen. And the Empire stands alone.

Now the Emperor has no choice but to give Hadrian Marlowe—once his favorite knight—one more impossible task: journey across the galaxy to the Lothrian Commonwealth and convince them to join the war. But not all is as it seems, and Hadrian's journey will take him far beyond the Empire, beyond the Commonwealth, impossibly deep behind enemy lines.

well that was absolutely brutal and brilliant!
great world and character building as always, and a new narrator that threw me off a bit at first but done a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him.

Absolutely loved how this book played out the prisoner arc dragged a bit too long but other than that this book was perfect but it does have some of the saddest moments in the series by far

Saddest book in the series

A hard book to read with characters you have grown to love but it is a modern masterpiece. This book propels the series to the upper echelons of series I have had the pleasure to read.

Powerful in ways few books are
