About this listen

He's the Black Mage and she's the traitor to the Crown.

Ryiah's world was shattered the night she discovered King Blayne's nefarious plans. Now, she has to betray the one she loves most in order to save the realm from war. Torn between love and duty, Ry finds herself on a perilous mission to help the rebels and convince the kingdom of Pythus not to honor its pact with the corrupt king of Jerar - all the while deceiving the most powerful mage in the realm, the very man sworn to protect the Crown and hunt the rebels at all costs: her husband.

She's one step ahead, but sooner or later the curtain will fall.

Sooner or later, she'll have to fight.

Witness the epic conclusion of The Black Mage series, and see just how far one girl will go to save her kingdom and the boy she loves - even when that boy has become the enemy.

The first three books were great, kept you on edge, the plot twists were surprising and really kept the story interesting. However, this last book, just broke down every character that I liked until there was nothing but sadness and despair. The ending, without ruining anything, was decent, but not the ending I would have liked after all the suffering the characters have experienced. Would recommend the series as a whole, but the Last Stand just didn't scratch the itch I had the same way the previous three books did.
