Summary
The Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Kingfountain series conjures an epic, adventurous world of ancient myth and magic as a young woman’s battle with infinite evil begins.
Survivor of a combat school, the orphaned Bingmei belongs to a band of mercenaries employed by a local ruler. Now the nobleman, and collector of rare artifacts, has entrusted Bingmei and the skilled team with a treacherous assignment: brave the wilderness’s dangers to retrieve the treasures of a lost palace buried in a glacier valley. But upsetting its tombs has a price.
Echion, emperor of the Grave Kingdom, ruler of darkness, Dragon of Night, has long been entombed. Now Bingmei has unwittingly awakened him and is answerable to a legendary prophecy. Destroying the dark lord before he reclaims the kingdoms of the living is her inherited mission. Killing Bingmei before she fulfills it is Echion’s.
Thrust unprepared into the role of savior, urged on by a renegade prince, and possessing a magic that is her destiny, Bingmei knows what she must do. But what must she risk to honor her ancestors? Bingmei’s fateful choice is one that neither her friends nor her enemies can foretell, as Echion’s dark war for control unfolds.
Critic reviews
“Wheeler (Broken Veil) opens the Grave Kingdom series with this winding tale of valor and sacrifice, set in a realm where using magic summons a heavy fog that kills every living thing it touches. [T]he threat of the fog looming in the background adds atmosphere and tension.... This excellent introduction to the prolific Wheeler’s work will appeal to fans of Asian-influenced fantasy.” (Publishers Weekly)
“The unique cast of characters in a well-constructed world will appeal to readers of Terry Brooks and Orson Scott Card.” (Booklist)

gripping
It took me a few attempts to start this book, I didn't think I was going to enjoy it but wow, once I had got past the first chapter I was hooked. The descriptive writing is fantastic you get right in the middle of a fight and can imagine the scenery and people easily. can't wait to start the next book.

I want more
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would which is surprising because I love Jeff Wheeler’s writing. My only criticism is that there aren’t enough books in this series/world to satiate me.

Depressed
I was depressed to a degree I nearly cancelled my subscription.
How is the heroine so ignorant and pathetic yet meant to save the world. Meant to be worldly wise. "I'm a warrior" is her mantra yet acts like a toddler who's never left home.
PERFECT BED TIME LISTEN AS YOU'LL BE ASLEEP IN MINUTES.

woe is me.
was so angry. this story was so frustrating the answer to save so much death/struggle would have been sorted in one trip to the death wall.

Too similar names
I’ve tried several times to listen to this but the character names are too similar so I get lost. Not for me I’m afraid
