Publisher's summary

Nine years after Rom Sebastian was thrust into the most unlikely of circumstances as hero and bearer of an unimaginable secret, the alliance of his followers is in disarray. An epic battle with The Order has left them scattered and deeply divided both in strategy and resolve in their struggle to become truly alive and free.

Only 49 truly alive followers remain loyal to Rom. This meager band must fight for survival as The Order is focused on their total annihilation. Misunderstood and despised, their journey will be one of desperation against a new, more intensely evil Order. As the hand of this evil is raised to strike and destroy them they must rely on their faith in the abiding power of love to overcome all and lead them to sovereignty.

Sovereign wonderfully continues the new-testament allegory that was introduced in Forbidden and continued in Mortal.

Unsatisfying ending to the trilogy

I waited through three books for Jonathan to show himself a hero and king. I was disappointed to find that the story ends with Jonathan on a more spiritual realm only quasi supporting those that follow him.
Ted as always writes in a way that makes you want to continue reading. In this book however I kept reading hoping for a crescendo that never appeared.

Meh

I love Ted Dekker books but this series just fell flat for me. It felt very slow and drawn out after the 1st book (the first book hooked me and the last two were disappointing) and I couldn’t get into it.

Loved it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and series! Many twists and surprises… not predictable! But very satisfactory! It was the crowning jewel of the three books. I love the parallels. Thank you Ted and Tosca! The Bliss beyond the veil gives me peace and joy. I imagine Heaven will be like this X infinity!

I just love all his books.

these books are truly a great escape from this crazy world we live in. yet. with every book I read to escape they always bring me back to reality and allows me to have a positive outlook on this crazy life. they way that good and evil intertwine completely consume me while I'm reading it.

Pretty Good

I really enjoyed the whole series but, the ending of the 3rd book seemed a little lackluster. I did however, like the epilog leaving the mystique of what could happen decades later. All in all it was definitely worth listening to the entire trilogy! Very entertaining.

Really GOOD!

Loved it. it's worth a "re- read". Start with the 1st book in the series, Forbidden. Then the 2nd. Immortal. It all comes together in this one. Love Ted Dekker.

Full of Intriguing Twists!

Another outstanding performance by the orator Henry Leyva of this master piece of fiction written by Ted Dekker and Tosco Lee. I highly recommend buying the book and following along as Leyva dramatically reads you through this captivating novel.
