USA Today and Washington Post best seller
The gods have been proven mortal and new heroes will arise as the battle continues in the sequel to Age of Myth—from the author of the Riyria Revelations and Riyria Chronicles series.
In Age of Myth, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan launched audiences on an epic journey of magic and adventure, heroism and betrayal, love and loss. Now the thrilling saga continues as the human uprising is threatened by powerful enemies from without—and bitter rivalries from within.
Raithe, the God Killer, may have started the rebellion by killing a Fhrey, but long-standing enmities dividing the Rhunes make it all but impossible to unite against the common foe. And even if the clans can join forces, how will they defeat an enemy whose magical prowess renders them indistinguishable from gods?
The answer lies across the sea in a faraway land populated by a reclusive and dour race who feel nothing but disdain for both Fhrey and mankind. With time running out, Persephone leads the gifted young seer Suri, the Fhrey sorceress Arion, and a small band of misfits in a desperate search for aid—a quest that will take them into the darkest depths of Elan. There, an ancient adversary waits, as fearsome as it is deadly.

Surprising second chapter to this Epic fantasy
I enjoyed this so much. It really answered my few complaints from the the first book. The character development is a slow burn which is different from other fantasy and enjoyable. At times it feels a little slow but with narration this good I don't mind. And what an ending!?! *gasp*

The series really starts to get going...
After that slower character building tone of the first book. This one really starts getting into the plot. Michael is a lovely writer and Tim makes it very easy listening.
After learning much about the world and the characters I found this very engaging and breezed through and straight onto the next book.
Well worth your time. Some great ideas played out here with a nice simple narrative.

Wish the sound quality was better but apart from when … hmmm spoilers… something awful happens this was an enjoyable tale of women’s derring-do.
