About this listen

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

The third book in the million-copy bestselling Kingfountain series from Jeff Wheeler.

Against all odds, Owen Kiskaddon grew from frightened boy to confident youth to trusted officer in the court of Kingfountain - and watched its regent, Severn Argentine, grow ever more ruthless and power-mad. Robbed of his beloved protector, his noble mentor, and his true love, Owen has anticipated the day when the king he fears and reviles, yet loyally serves, will be toppled. Now, as Severn plots a campaign of conquest, the time has come to take action...and Owen’s destiny demands that he lead the strike.

Ordered to incite war with a neighboring kingdom, Owen discovers its beautiful, reclusive ruler, whose powerful magic might even exceed his own. Together they mount a daring plot to overthrow the corrupt monarch, crown the rightful heir, and defeat the prophesied curse threatening Kingfountain with wintry death. But Severn’s evil is as bottomless as the fabled Deep Fathoms. To keep his ill-gotten throne, he’ll gladly spill the blood of enemies and innocents alike.

the third and final book in this trilogy with a happy ending for all which surprisingly includes the main villain.
I look forward to the next trilogy in the series.

I like a happy ending.

This trilogy has been completely addictive. Great story well performed. i might be able to get some sleep watch some t.v. enter back in to the real world now :)

another excellent trilogy

I was driven potty listening to the poor pronunciation of some of the place names. I live in the UK many of the place names are actual places in the UK so I know how things should be pronounced......
Also find narrators style difficult as she tends to put to much emphasis on words such and and, the, have etc which for me means the narration is slow and does not flow as it would if you were reading the text.
I stuck with the series as I enjoyed the story and plot. Will not chose books performed by this narrator in future

Good series poorly read
