About this listen

 From two time British Fantasy Award-winning author, Jen Williams, comes the epic conclusion to the Winnowing Flame trilogy. Exhilarating fantasy for fans of Robin Hobb.

'One of the best fantasy novels of the year, if not the decade' James Oswald

'A fitting finale, triumphant and bittersweet in all the best ways' SciFiNow

All is chaos. All is confusion. The Jure'lia are weak, but the war is far from over.

Ebora was once a glorious city, defended by legendary warriors and celebrated in song. Now refugees from every corner of Sarn seek shelter within its crumbling walls, and the enemy that has poisoned their land won't lie dormant for long.

The deep-rooted connection that Tormalin, Noon and the scholar Vintage share with their Eboran war-beasts has kept them alive so far. But with Tor distracted, and his sister Hestillion hell-bent on bringing ruthless order to the next Jure'lia attack, the people of Sarn need all the help they can get.

Noon is no stranger to playing with fire and knows just where to recruit a new - and powerful - army. But even she underestimates the epic quest that is to come. It is a journey wrought with pain and sacrifice - a reckoning that will change the face of Sarn forever.

Join forces with the heroes of the WINNOWING FLAME TRILOGY as they strive to silence the Jure'lia's poison song once and for all.

What readers are saying about the WINNOWING FLAME trilogy:

'The woman is a genius! Modern and fresh fantasy... one of my favourite series of the last few years and it ended super strong'

'A fitting end to the trilogy and I am very sad to be leaving this world behind'

'Loved it! When I grow up, I want to be a war-beast'

'Williams knocks it out of the park'

'All the stars for this. ALL... An exceptional finale that exceeded every expectation'

'Feminist fantasy at its best'

Really enjoyed this series and Jen Williams is now an author on my instant buy list. The series is hard to place into a category, to me it’s Grimdark/Fantasy/Sci Fi all rolled into one. I became attached to the characters, cried and laughed with them and I shall miss them. The narrator Jot Davies was excellent

Sad that it’s over

i have waited for this third book to come out and it was as fast paced and full of ethos as the others. only two points that spoiled it a very little bit. ..in the narration the war beasts voices were too harsh and all masculine as were the voices of some of the female human military . Secondly i had hoped for a longer post war storyline but thats probably because i didnt want the book. thus the trilogy to end.

quite simply.. epic

I have loved listening to this trilogy and the final book did not disappoint. I was slightly dreading coming to the end, because I’ve been so immersed in the world for so long now. I did have to listen to it at 1.3, but that’s because my impatient brain can’t cope with any sort of suspense, and just want to know what happens next.
It took me awhile to get used to Jot Davies’ narration originally, but his characters and accents are so good, it’s easy to overlook some of his strange inflections in between them :). He also rarely makes mistakes with words, and I’ve already wish listed another book with him narrating.
I’m really going to miss these characters. Looking for something else to distract me now.

What an adventure

I have loved the whole series and this book was no exception. The picture Jen Williams paints with words of this world is excellent and it draws you in. I would recommend this to anyone!

Another brilliant book!

First book was a drag but this was far better. Ending not the best but I enjoyed the story and was but sad that it was over.

Much better than the first book.
