About this listen

Thirty years of peace have graced the lands of Abra'am. The waning bloodshed from the War of Fire has ended, and the new generations have only the horrid tales of their forefathers to remind them of their countries' pasts. Poverty no longer prevails, the sights and palms of men have grown soft, yet four nations dictate more power than they know.

Civil unrest stirs amongst the first, the heir to the throne of Mesidia and the Guardian to its Dagger questioned by a growing rebellion. To its south lies a country of scholars, the mighty nation of Xenith, liberators of the War of Fire and Guardians of the Amulet.

Over the Dividing Wall lives the newly freed Sadie, a kingdom with an assassin for a prince and an insurgence at its heels. The fourth is the ancient realm of Eve, the Land Across the Sea, gifted and cursed with the Sight as it shows them what's to come. Only one knows the fate of the world, but all will be pawns in its reckoning.

While I expected this to be a good book, I didn't expect the emotional turmoil. Can't wait for the next book.

Amazing

It was such a gripping story. On one hand like a multi sided chess game but being fairly new to political fantasy I was still able to follow all the different interests. Complicated and very well thought through but still accessible. The characters were amazing. You grow to care about them, root for certain outcomes for them but things change and the obvious is not what happens. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I especially liked the little snippets of extra info between the chapters. Can't wait for book 2..
