Publisher's summary

In his acclaimed Codex Alera novels, best-selling author Jim Butcher has created a fascinating world in which the powerful forces of nature take physical form. For millennia, the people of Alera have used their unique bond with these elementals for protection. Now, as enemies become allies, and friends become bitter foes, a danger beyond reckoning looms....

Critic reviews

“Sharp tactical plotting, hazardous cross-country travel and a dash of sardonic humor mark Butcher's fourth Codex Alera novel...Butcher deftly deploys intrigue, conflicted loyalties and hairbreadth action to excellent effect. Few writers balance military realism and cinematic swashbuckling with so much skill or wit.” (Publishers Weekly)

"The fourth Codex Alera novel further develops the world and characters of its predecessors and confirms Butcher's mastery of action-filled fiction.” (Booklist)

“I couldn't put this one down...Great work.” (SF Revu)

Jim Butcher crafts an excellent story. From character development and an engaging story to descriptive battle scenes I cannot stop listening. Looking forward to the next books in the series (already downloaded and ready).

Couldn’t wait to read this one and it didn’t disappoint!

The story is great. This story felt like finally seeing dragons in battle in GOT. He really stepped it up a notch on this one. My anticipation was completely justified.
The performance is outstanding as well. Kate Reading has been absolutely perfect reading this series and really sells the characters. Easily one of the best I have had the privilege of listening to!

SO MUCH ACTION!!!! SO GOOD!!!

What a fantastic addition to the series.. The story was full with secrets coming out and new secrets hidden away.. New allies and new enemies. It was just too many things too many emotions packed in one book, and it was amazing.

As usual action sense were well written and twists and turns were everywhere. Tavi is so grown, he is not that little kid anymore, and unexpected characters become his supporters and trustees.

Can't stop on talking about how good Kate Reading is in narrating, and she does a great job with book, specially with the number of years between each book, people grow and voices change, and she did a great job in accommodating that.

Will start reading the next book soon... Can't wait.

Best in the series so far!

I greatly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy or sifi book. The narration is tremendous, as all of Kate Reading's works are, and the story is intriguing and original. Kudos to both! This is a must read if I have ever read one. So you should definitely read it.... :)
