About this listen

"The story touches on many familiar fantasy plot points—magic, an ancient language, an ability to commune with wild creatures, a climactic battle between the forces of good and evil—yet manages to be satisfying. It’s aided by a capable reading from Barber, who invests Rollins’ characters with a variety of British accents that help make each a distinguishable, real person."- The Providence Journal

This audiobook includes a special introduction written and read by James Rollins.

An alliance embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the secrets of the distant past and save their world in this captivating, deeply visionary adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling thriller-master James Rollins.

A gifted student foretells an apocalypse. Her reward is a sentence of death.

Fleeing into the unknown, she is drawn into a team of outcasts:

A broken soldier, who once again takes up the weapons he’s forbidden to wield and carves a trail back home.

A drunken prince, who steps out from his beloved brother's shadow and claims a purpose of his own.

An imprisoned thief, who escapes the crushing dark and discovers a gleaming artifact—one that will ignite a power struggle across the globe.

On the run, hunted by enemies old and new, they must learn to trust each other in order to survive in a world evolved in strange, beautiful, and deadly ways, and uncover ancient secrets that hold the key to their salvation.

But with each passing moment, doom draws closer.

I loved the beginning, those first two chapters were really exciting. But then it just… bleurgh. I got within two hours of the end but I just can’t be bothered. Also I think it’s grossly inappropriate for grown men to be lusting after a 14 year old. The author could easily have made her 17 or 18, but no he went with 14. 🤮

I was too bored to finish it

What an amazing experience.
The storyline drew me in as if I was there.
All the characters are believable, even the non human ones.
As for the performances, well, all I can say is they’re perfect.
Please don’t change them for the next book.
Highly recommended.

Excellent!!

From the minute I started listening to this I was enthralled. I neglected my home my family and my job! I just couldn't stop listening to it. Towards the end I started listening less and less because I didn't want it to end. Thank you l!
