Publisher's summary

Tensions are mounting after a devastating battle before the walls of Shaliyah, birthplace of the Prophet. The East is rising, bringing equal measures of hope and despair to the magical world of Urte.

For some, Salim's victory is a call to arms; for others it is evidence of a world gone mad. While the armies of East and West clash in brutal conflict, emperors, inquisitors, Souldrinkers, and assassins all have their attention turned elsewhere as they hunt the Scytale of Corineus. The immensely powerful artifact is the key to ultimate power, and it's in the hands of unlikely guardians: failed mage Alaron Mercer and market-girl Ramita Ankesharan, who carries the child of the world's greatest mage. The fate of the world hinges on destruction should the artifact fall into the wrong hands.

Side note

I really enjoy this series but I swear every time the author mentions pregnancy, infant care, childbirth etc. I find myself shaking my head as it is quite obvious the author is a man :)

5 stars on all accounts

The narration compliments the genius construction of the races and cultures wound throughout the story amazingly. Story line and character development had me constantly on my toes! I’m hooked and so glad that there’s another book to come!!!

Irritating helplessness

After building up expectations, the final fight was just pathetic. It left me with a regret of having picked up this series.

What is next

What did you love best about Unholy War?

I Loved how the author tied his story into The Indian way he captures how a country segregates it's people by race and color and then throws magic into the mix with it having the level of strength determined by parentage, I hope there is more I am looking forward to what eventually will happen.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Unholy War?

Rome-eta receiving the no sis

What does Nick Podehl bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This narrator is awesome his characterization is great he uses inflection in his characters that helps to see them

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Once the story gets off the ground I couldn't stop listening

Any additional comments?

If there were a let down it would be there is not a 4th book or 5th

Awesome Myth and Magic

David Hair creates a parallel world in this Quartet full of worthy characters heroic and dastardly. His imagination illuminates and exposes depths of belief and hypocrisy, The intricacies
of of this story are phenomenal - dialogue delightful and the reader Nick Podehl is the best ! - thank you -

Just gets better and better!

Let's be honest. If you've read the first two, you'll read this one. If you haven't, start with Book One. You wrong regret it!
