About this listen

In the city of Imardin, where magic and power walk hand-in-hand, a young street-girl, adopted by the Magicians’ Guild, finds herself at the centre of a terrible plot.

Sonea has learned much at the Magicians’ Guild and and the other novices now treat her with a grudging respect. But she cannot forget what she witnessed in the High Lord Akkarin’s underground chamber – or his warning that the realm’s ancient enemy is watching the Guild closely. Her old friend Cery now has an influential position among the Thieves, and good connections in high and low places. When an exotic stranger offers to help him with a secret task, Cery know he should refuse, but then …

As Akkarin reveals more of his knowledge, Sonea does not know who to believe, or what she most fears. Could the truth really be as terrifying as the High Lord claims? Does an ancient power threaten them all? Or is he trying to trick her into assisting him with his dark schemes?

Amazing conclusion to a wonderful series

As usual Trudi Canavan has penned another cracker. The whole series has been phenomenal and this final book was the cherry atop the cake

An Epic Conclusion

Well, here is the much anticipated conclusion to Trudi Canavan's excellent Black Magician Trilogy and what a delight it is to be able to hear it unabridged! This book more than lives up to the promises set by the first two. Questions are answered, though nothing is as it seems. This is the most powerful of the trilogy and my personal favourite. I defy anyone not to be in tears at the end. I was sad to reach the end and I think the only solution is to start all over again! I believe the author is not done with these characters, so I'm eagerly awaiting the next instalment of their adventures.

Always loved

I’ve been reading and listening to this series since I was 13 - I will always love it.... Sone of Richard Aspels voices are rather annoying though- I prefer the narrator of the abridged versions. However the story and characters are worth it!

Fantastic trilogy

Great end to the first 3 part saga of Sonea's story - do not think i could have listened to it being read by anyone else.

Brilliant read

Fantastic story from a brilliant author. This has been sadly let down by the awful narrator. His accent and pronunciations are quite dismal, I persevered with the book due to the story.

Fantastic Ending to the Trilogy

What made the experience of listening to The High Lord the most enjoyable?

The third book has a lot more action than the first two and ends the trilogy on a real high note.
