The next book in the thrilling New York Times best-selling series.

For years he has endured the endless trials and triumphs of a man whose skill and power could not be restrained. Battling ancient enemies, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, Gaius Octavian became a legendary man of war - and the rightful First Lord of Alera.

But now, the savage Vord are on the march, and Gaius must lead his legions to the Calderon Valley to stand against them - using all of his intelligence, ingenuity, and furycraft to save their world from eternal darkness.

Outstanding Read

I have listened to this series twice now and I continued to be amazed at the depth of story and characters in it. I cannot recommend this series enough. I only have one regret and that is that it is over!

Bad audio file edit

What is the reasoning behind not having the chapters simply be what they say, n both this book and previous one a seemingly simple thing to have the chapters read as the chapters the audio files say they are did not match.

The story is fine a good ending to the series, if audible could present it correctly would be great.

Battle After Battle

As all in this series, there is a lot of battle, but it is blended with enough interesting story to keep you engaged. Kate Reading is an outstanding performer. I’d listen to any book she was reading.

The story is amazing.

Only wish they would do a second series about their son grown up going to fight across the sea and bringing Vargs people home for the conquest of their lands. But alas I don’t think it will happen. Such a beautiful and sad story all in one

Fantastic conclusion!

the editing is very poorly done on this one, chapters out of sync and glitches in the audio. I don't know if that's audible or of that's penguin audio doing a poor job though
