About this listen

Heroes will rise. Nations will fall.

Behind the towering walls of Belduar, Calen Bryer and his companions stand in defense of the city and its new king. In over a thousand years, Belduar has never fallen. It has stood as a bastion of hope. But the Lorian empire are at its walls once more, and the Dragonguard are coming.

In the North, with Faenir by her side, Calen’s sister Ella arrives at the port of Antiquar. She holds no fear of the unknown. She will see this through, no matter what–or who–gets in her way.

Meanwhile, at the embassy of the Circle of Magii in Al’Nasla, Rist Havel hones his newfound powers in preparation for the trials. Unbeknownst to Rist, he is being watched, measured, and judged. He was not taken into the Circle by chance. There is greatness in him. But great men can do terrible things.

As Lorian forces land on southern shores and Aeson Virandr’s letters of rebellion find their way to the right hands, only the Knights of Achyron see the true danger...the danger that stirs in the darkness.

The coming shadow will not stop. It will consume all in its path. It wants for nothing but blood and fire.

Book one was really good but book two was even better. I can’t wait to move on to book 3.

Great series

Cannot recommend highly enough, the first book is great and this is a step up. I enjoy Cahill’s writing style and the performance is great.

Excellent fantasy series

The story is very detailed and easy to link to the previous book.
The narrators voice is a great match for the type of story, it makes you fall into the story as if you were a witness to the events happening at the time.
Ryan makes you feel like a part of their life looked from the outside, and I like that.

It will make you feel part of the story

Very good

I enjoyed the first book well enough, but to be honest I didn't understand they hype around it. This second book really helped me understand why I've seen a lot of people praising the series. Massive improvement over the first book (which was still pretty good). I felt that it finally moved away from a lot of the clichés and similarities to other books the the first book fell into and this book really stamped authority over its own story it is telling.
I'm am excited to see what is coming next.
