King

Books of the Infinite, Book 3

By: R.J. Larson

Narrated by: Brooke Sanford Heldman

"Akabe of Siphra, I have brought your enemies low and lifted you from the dirt."

Against his wishes and desires, Akabe Garric has been chosen by his people to be king. A warrior at heart, he’d never dreamed of such a swift, unexpected rise to power. Determined to prove his worth to the citizens of Munra and honor his Creator, Akabe undertakes a monumental task: to rebuild the Infinite’s Holy House in Siphra.

"Only this I ask: Restore My temple and let Me dwell again among the people."

Akabe soon discovers that the land he needs is held by the Thaenfalls, known Atea-worshipers who will give up their claim only if he marries into their line. Though he seeks direction from the Infinite, his pleas are met with silence. Frustrated, Akabe makes an impulsive decision, sweeping his nation into a lethal storm that threatens his plans for the temple. As questions of love and faith become tangled with lies, ancient feuds, and treacherous plots, can Akabe, his mysterious queen, and his trusted friends Ela and Kien Lantec find the Infinite’s path... or will they fail as so many others before?

"Will your faith hold strong when I am silent? Child, can you be My king?"

excellent story, narrator so-so

the book was a fantastic story overall. but the narrator's interpretation of imitating each individual character made them sound whiny or weak or less likeable than the story itself. she has a great voice for the general reading but just makes the characters sound goofy / cheesy or pathetic when they are not meant to sound like that in the book. Wishing there was a different option for narrator. but highly recommend the book and the story!

wonderful

Though I think I prefer the 1st book, this one is still very good. The queen can be kind of annoying, but her background explains her personality. Ella and Keenan are wonderful as ever in this book.

Amazing story

The Prophet,
The characters come alive with depth of passion, love, Determination. The Infinite is portrayed as love, calling everyone to him and sharing God/the Infinite desire for fellowship with His creation. The judgment is just when it fall on a person. Blessing Donna

execellent allegory! great character development.

wonderful continuity between books. i will definately be looking for more! these are a great read.

An intriguing story that keeps you thinking

I'm always riveted to my seat wondering what's going to happen next. She has a wonderful way of keeping us guessing of what's coming up, who's going to live or who's going to die or who's going to finally give in to the infinite and die to their own ways.
