Summary

The elder gods demand an end to the 500-year reign of the God of Chaos. To counter their plans, the champion of Chaos calls for the Cleansing—the sacrifice of all children under two.

Ellis escapes the Cleansing with the help of Dirge, a swordsman who thinks Ellis was born to end the reign of Chaos, and Daylin, a young woman who talks with wolves. Visions drag Ellis north toward an ethereal tower, deep in The Lands of the Dead, staying steps ahead of the fire-wielding priest who killed Ellis’ parents.

To the north, villagers discover an infant boy at the forest’s edge. Sensing the boy’s immense power, a local paladin declares the child will allow Chaos to reign forever. The paladin names him Betal, The Hand of God. But to the locals, he’s The Beast. As Betal grows, he must elude assassins, and a brutal, mutated creature that stalks the countryside.

Gods spar, using mortals as pawns. Will the reign of Chaos finally end, or will the birth of The Beast ensure it lasts forever?

A solid sequel

Book 2 of the Chaos Reigns Trilogy is far superior to the first one. Its plot is darker, grittier and altogether more cohesive than the predecessor's erratic nature. The characters feel more tangible with their developed histories and the dialogue between them is more natural than the previous novel.

Sean Duregger's narration is excellent once again. The large number of characters really allows Duregger to showcase his voice acting capabilities and it's a joy to listen to. The audio is crystal clear with no discernible dips in quality.

I'm now eagerly awaiting the arrival final novel to arrive on Audible.

Really enjoyed the of Sean Duregger, smooth and so easy to listen to

I enjoyed the first book, but found this one more enjoyable to listen/read. The plot is darker, grittier .

It just wasn’t for me.

I hadn’t realised it was aimed at the YA-Romance audience and was very soap opera driven with very little happening. I’m sure for the right audience, this would be great, but a decent performance from the narrator couldn’t save it for me.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
