About this listen

The Hundred Years War rages on, with tensions between kingdoms growing ever more strained.

While Annise Gäric and her forces march on Castle Hill to retake the northern throne, her cousin, Rhea Loren, wages a naval war against Blackstone. Meanwhile, Roan Loren and Gwendolyn Storm struggle to breach the gnarled, vine-choked undergrowth of the Tangle in their quest to reach Knight's End and learn more of the true purpose of the fatemarked.

In the south, a Calypsian empress is murdered, and her daughters fight to claim the empire and wage a civil war against their estranged father's armies. In Phanes, slavery runs rampant while a rebel group fights to free the oppressed people. A master named Jai Jiroux looks to help the rebel cause, an act of treason punishable by death.

Surrounding the Four Kingdoms is the pall cast by the Kings' Bane, who continues his quest to kill eight rulers and thus fulfill the Western Oracle's ancient prophecy, which he believes will pave to way to peace across the realms.

looks like it's going to be a really good series, can't wait for the next 3 books to listen to

Just a really good book

What's not to love about the 2nd book in the series?

If you love the first you'll love this. The way the characters grow and change, it really feels like I'm there with them. The story grows as they grow and the more you find out, the more you want to know!

Looking forward to the rest of the series :)

10/10

A must listen!

Although enjoying this fantasy so far, I do wonder about the male “heroes” in fantasy as, with the last few books I have listened to, they all seem to think with parts of their anatomy other than their brain and, therefore, come across as being quite weak.

Moving on, I have the feeling that Bane may not be the good Fated that he was designed to be, but time will tell. Rhea is showing herself to be a rather nasty queen. Annise is hard to like, but no-one is perfect! I am looking forward to book 3

Interlinking the characters was done brilliantly this was not a disappointing second book and wets the appetite for book three

Excellent story of power struggle love and hatred everything the reader of fantasy loves

This is page by page adventure and surprises - Thank you David for writing such an amazing story which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The concept is strong
The character development is strong - e.g. you find yourself liking characters that you shouldn't
The narration is really good - Derek does a good job at a female voice and making it credible
You look and think 22 hours wow that's long, but it's so good it feels like 5 minutes! He also gives you back stories at the end which give you further insight into the characters (he could have done these as flashbacks just as well)
never mind the book LOVED THIS SERIES

Wow David does it again
