Publisher's summary

Before she met Dragos, half-human half-Wyr Pia Giovanni was alone and on the run. Now, she's mated, pregnant, and heading south to repair the Wyr's frayed relationship with the Elves. Being separated from Dragos is painful, but for the good of the Wyr demesne they need to figure out how to be partners, in more places than just the bedroom.

In New York to preside over the Sentinel Games, Dragos is worried about his mate, but knows that finding two replacement sentinels is essential to show the rest of the Elder Races just how strong and brutal the Wyr demesne can be. But as the games heat up, Pia's negotiations with the Elves take a turn for the dangerous, straining her bond with Dragos and threatening everything they hold dear.

Love this series, love dragos and pia

I actually skipped a few books and listened to this one right after finishing the first. I didn't want to wait through other books to find out how this amazing couple was doing.

This author is just great. One of the most well written paranormal romances I've read, that still brings on the hot sex. The first book had so many epic reveals and heightened emotions as a reader. This one was good, but I can't compare it to the first.

I gave five stars because this author is just awesome, and I'm so happy to have discovered this series and her writing. It's so hard to find someone who constructs a thoughtful world, develops rich and interesting (and relatable!) characters, can build sexual tension, deliver steamy payoffs, write exciting action scenes, AND make you laugh.

Love it.

My favorite thing about about Thea Harrison's books is the banter between characters and not just romantically involved characters but the others as well.

Dragoes and Pia are awesome....

Would you listen to Lord's Fall again? Why?

Yes, I usually like to listen to a series in order but bought this on sale. I've read 1& 2 and loved them both....3& 4 seem to be about other characters so when I saw this was about Dragoes and Pia I went ahead and listened....so glad I didn't wait! There is some action and interesting story line but it essentially picks up where book 1 ended and completes their love story...

Who was your favorite character and why?

Well I still have to say I like Dragoes the best...

Which character – as performed by Sophie Eastlake – was your favorite?

She does Dragoes exceptionally sexy for a girl...but I loved the way she performed Eva...a saucy butt-kicker and one of Eva's body guards.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Can't give it away but the end is a really feel good kind of moment...

Any additional comments?

Now I may go back and do 3 & 4 but these that I have listened to stand alone on their own!!!!

Yes! Pia and Dragos are the focus

Having purchased this in the series, I hadn't realized it was told from Pia's pov- so wonderful, brought it all full circle to the first book. This is a lord of the rings style epic- really - very insightful and inspired. Intense for sure, but lovely and fun and beautiful too. Can't wait to get started on the next one!!!

Psychos

This was my favorite book in the series so far. The humor was perfect and I love the psychos

Love This Couple!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Dragos and Pia are by far my favorite couple in the elder races series. Their dynamic is hilarious and makes for an interesting mix no matter what situation theyre in.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lord's Fall?

When Dragos comes to save Pia and the Elves from the fire.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Pia wakes up to find everyone asleep and she sarcastically wakes everyone up.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The begining of time has come to this.

Any additional comments?

My only complaint is that it feels like she tried to cram too much into one book. The book could have easily been a few hours longer. Towars the end I felt like she was trying to wrap up sooooo much that she jumped time and scenes quickly.

Good story hiding under cheesy cover picture

The story itself is great...I appreciate the authors ability as a story teller so much more when the plot doesn't center around how hot the guy is and coming up with different words for hot (smoldering scorching incendiary and so on) and that is the case for this one, although there is a bit of that. I was very happy to hear more of Pia's tale.
I really enjoy learning more about the politics and the elder races in general and this book covers much more of that.

The narrator does a fantastic job...one of the best.
The cover with the muscle dude...all of the covers for this series...are just so cheesy and cringeworthy. I hate to think I would have missed a good story because of a beefcake picture but it's true. I almost did. The book is good and deserves a better image than a cheap bodice ripper style hunk with a bare chest.

Don't take God's name in vain.

I just don't care for using God's name in vain you can use any vulgar words you won't but that one was used one too many times

Keep it coming...

What did you love best about Lord's Fall?

The story continuing. I have enjoyed all the books in this series, so I can't wait for the next one.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lord's Fall?

Peanuts birth.

Have you listened to any of Sophie Eastlake’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Great as ever.

Any additional comments?

Well worth the credit.

I love these characters!

I'm so glad Harrison wrote another book about Pia and Dragos!! They have been my favorite characters throughout the series and I wasn't expecting another book solely about them.

Pia is pregnant, still trying to find her place in the Wyr world, and dealing with the stress of being the mate of the Wyr leader. There is a strong story line that isn't simply centered on the relationship and romantic encounters between Pia and Dragos.

It is definitely worth buying or using a credit!!
