About this listen

Break Eternity.

Sirileth has broken the world. The ground bleeds, the seas rage, and the skies are torn asunder.

Eska will not let her daughter face the consequences alone, but can she help without donning the mantle of the Corpse Queen once more? And will the people of Ovaeris accept help from a monster?

They might not have a choice as a stable portal to the Other World is now open, and the Beating Heart of Sevorai is ever ravenous.

In this thrilling conclusion to The War Eternal, Eskara must face the consequences of her past. She will soon learn just how far she can bend before she breaks.

All Hail The corpse Queen, Rob J. Hayes, I salute you. What an epic conclusion to five epic books, Death's Beating Heart is the fifth and final book in The War Eternal series.

This series is simply fantastic. Rob J. Hayes weaves a magical dark tale together with an antihero that you will love from the first page.

The War Eternal has it all, it's fast-paced, action-packed with battles, monsters, a vèry unique magic, and deep relatable characters. The worldbuilding, plot, and setting are exquisite. It's a story that grabs hold and won't let you go.

In Death's Beating Heart, Eskara's daughter Sirileth has literally broken the world. Bringing destruction across Ovaeris. Many want to execute her for her crimes. Eskara will not let her daughter face the consequences alone.

A world eater and monstrous being is coming to Ovaeris bringing with it, an army of parasitic monsters, and Eskara and her inner shadow demon must take up the mantle of becoming the Corpse Queen once more.

She must convince her most hated enemies of the threat and work together if they have any chance of their worlds survival.

It's absolutely brilliant storytelling at its finest, for all you who love dark fantasy or just want something epic to get lost in for a while, then look no further than The War Eternal series, very highly recommended...😁🖤🔥⚡️

I loved this. a great end to the series. Ssserakis seems to have gotten a little soft a little quickly in it would be my only criticism, the Lord of fear seems a bit loving.
Satisfying end to a great series, brilliant world building and good characters.

Really enjoyed this series, I’m at a loss now. Great story and wonderful narrator. I think the world would allow other books or even some prequels.

I didn’t want it to end!

Wow, this book stands up to the previous 4, and then some more. I was actually apprehensive in reading this book because I didn't want Eska's story to end. But what a brilliant final book in the series this was.
Truly my favourite series I've ever read. Rob J. Hayes is the best.

I can not comment without mentioning the outstanding job Moira Quark did with this story.

I feel like this series will be one I keep coming back to.

What A Way To End It

I didn’t think, when reading book 1, that we’d be going through the entirely of Eska’s life. But here we are. And Rob Hates has saved all the best battles until this book. It’s huge in scale, had no loose ends and has a great/tragic ending! 5/5

What an ending!
