Empire of Reckoning and Ruin

Can love conquer all when the odds are impossibly stacked?

After weeks of chaos spent defeating the drachen and burning the dead god Narc’s bones in a phoenix fire to save the people of Tirene, Lark eagerly awaits the culmination of her unexpected but extraordinary love story with Sterling. In one month, Lark will marry Prince Knox Sterling Barda, who will ascend the throne to become king of Tirene.

Yet happiness lies just beyond their grasp.

Strange occurrences interrupt Tirene’s celebration of the impending nuptials. A mysterious wedding gift of dangerous magic that transforms water into diamonds. Stone statues coming to life and attacking people. Objects missing for years suddenly reappearing in their owners’ homes. Not everyone is happy with the new normal...especially the gods...and they’re sending a message.

Or a warning.

Lines have been drawn that leave Lark and Sterling with an impossible choice. War is coming again. And this time, Lark and Sterling will either change the world...or lose everything.

Impossible magic, breathtaking romance, and inescapable duty clash in Empire of Reckoning and Ruin, the climactic fifth and final installment of the Dragons of Tirene series by best-selling author Nina Frost.

AI reading is a poor Experience

The lack of emotions, pace, even things like "that apostrophe s" for the word "that's" was a poor experience. I buy both the books and audio to help me follow the story better. Don't bother if Audible is offering an AI version.

Stiry is good. Computer narration sucks

I cannot listen to this! It’s HORRIBLE! Pronounces many words wrong. I do not recommend buying this audio

Virtual voice is awful

The book is okay. Too much predictability in parts; a rather underwhelming climax & ending to the series. I consumed this book partly read & partly listen since I like to listen while I do chores. I don’t like virtual voice & would never choose it over a story read by a human. Not just that “Nyc” was constantly misread as “NYC”, but inflections in all the wrong places, the impersonality of it. I’d prefer the publisher find a cheap up & coming artist to do this work than whatever this is.
