Publisher's summary

The adventure concludes with the triumphant finale in the Riftwar Saga. Raymond E. Feist is an internationally best-selling author.

The battle may be over, but war is coming… The Kingdom forces may have won the first conflict but the enemy has a strong grip on Midkemia and invasion now seems inevitable.

Arutha travels north to confront the Dark Elves, but without help, Pug knows that Arutha's forces face slaughter. With Tomas he must scour the world - and beyond - to find the one person with enough power to give them a chance. If they fail, Midkemia will be the first of many worlds to fall to a madman with the power to dominate death itself…

A Darkness at Sethanon concludes Raymond E. Feist's bestselling Riftwar Saga.

Simply incredible

I read this series as a boy and listened to it as an adult. Both readings were unmatched fantasy adventures. They make the lord of the rings seem dull. A must read.

Excellent ending to an even great series

Half way into book 4 I wasn't sure how this was going to end, but Feist has an amazing way of rounding things up. Masterful story telling and equally well read by Peter Joyce

Solid story in written form as well as audio form

The strong performance by Peter Joyce drives this fantastic crossover. I read this series in written form many years ago and I find that they are holding their own in audio format. This is a solid addition to the series

Narrator has unique names for main characters

I do not normally mind listening to different narrators, but I have heard other recordings in the same series where the main character is called aruTHa and here he is suddenly aruTTa. Same same with Murmandamus. I just cannot do it. So I have had to buy it one more time with another narrator. Otherwise a fantastic book so I recommend only to buy this narrator or to avoid him. Don't mix if you have the same issue I have with how names sound...

He writes about love in the same Way a potato would write about the irish

So i like this book. But i admit that i almost returend it. And Only did not because how much i liked the ending. Now i feel that he could write romance better, Cause the Way he does it now is Kinda short, to the point, and mostly bitter. So just like how a potato would write about the irish.

I just loved it

every moment was entertaining and I felt attachment to all the characters and felt the success they achieved. The only thing is I did not feel like I knew roald and so when he died I didn't really care. Otherwise great.

An Epic Conclusion

This is a wonderful conclusion to the Riftwar Sage; epic, suspenseful, and well paced.

Excellent narration by Peter Joyce!
