The Dread, Book Two of the Fallen Kings Cycle, picks up the adventures of Tris, Jonmarc, and the Winter Kingdoms gang immediately after the events in The Sworn.

Summoner-King Tris Drayke takes what remains of his army north for a war he is ill-prepared to fight, as reports from spies confirm Tris's worst fear. A new threat rises across the sea: a dark summoner who intends to make the most of the Winter Kingdoms's weakness.

In Isencroft, Kiara's father is assassinated and she will now have no choice except to return and claim the crown. But she must leave behind her husband and their infant son to face the dark power that threatens her rule.

I like the narrator from the first 4 books better but these book are so well writing it didn't bother me to much. I really need more books set in this work. It is so well developed and thought out that I want to know what else is out there.

This book continued the story just right, it had a great blend of tragedy and excitement to keep the book interesting, but not all puppys and rainbows.

Any additional comments?

I like the series but this book is my least favorite. It's mostly about war. It's draining to hear a book mostly about battles. But since this is part of the series I got to hear it out.

Not sure why the narrator chose to use an 'old' voice for young Tris Drake and a 'young' voice for mature, war worn, battle hardened Lord Jonmarc Vahanian. Still they're books that grow on you.

Another good 'read' in the series.
