About this listen

NY Times Bestselling Author E.G. Foley brews up a magical potion for fantasy fans of all ages!

Take a dash of Harry Potter and a splash of Oliver Twist, add a pinch of steampunk and a sprinkle of Victorian fairy lore, and what do you get? The Gryphon Chronicles! A rollicking fantasy adventure series that's as much fun for grownups as it is for kids.

Behind the iron gates of The Black Fortress, evil gathers its forces, preparing to strike...

Three months ago, the horrible news that the Dark Druids captured his beloved pet Gryphon sent thirteen-year-old Jake Everton reeling—especially since he knows he's the one the warlock brotherhood really wants. It's a trap, and poor Red is just the bait. Well aware of the threat, the Elders have forbidden the daring boy hero from taking any action to rescue his faithful companion. Instead, Jake and his friends must cool their heels at the Order's palace headquarters, where they'll be "safe."

But treachery stalks the hallowed corridors of Merlin Hall. Palace intrigues abound as a traitor makes a secret pact with the enemy. And when a terrifying prophecy emerges with Jake at the center of it all, the full-scale magical war between good and evil that the Order has long dreaded only needs one spark to explode...

With Red in enemy hands and whispers of destiny calling his loyalties into question, Jake is torn between light and shadow. The war is coming—and the battle for his future has already begun.

Amazing story, it’s a pity that they changed narrators. The other one was much better. Jake Benson makes certain characters sound dumb and not respecting the previous tones and voices of characters makes it a very unpleasant continuation from the first 5 books. Such pity. I almost returned the audiobook after 15 minutes listening to it due to the new narrator. Thankfully, the story is remarkably good.

Really miss the other narrator
