Relics of Ruin

De: Erin M. Evans

Narrado por: Imogen Church

From a rising star in epic fantasy comes the captivating second novel in a trilogy featuring an unlikely team who must find a way to work together and solve an empire-spanning mystery to defend the last place they call home.

The conspiracy at the heart of the empire has been revealed. The Archivists played a key role in solving a brutal murder and uncovering one of the empire’s longest kept secrets. Now, what’s left in its wake are a series of unearthed artifacts, one shaken city, and the shocking truth not dared spoken aloud.

Just as the empire has begun to regain normalcy, another mystery unveils itself when a stolen ancient relic is found. Only no one knew that it was missing from its sacred vault in the first place. And now that the real one has been recovered, who replaced it with a fake?

With Quill and Amadea at the heart of another mystery, they will need to quickly follow the clues that all lead back to this new relic.

Because all the while, an old enemy is gathering strength beyond the Salt Wall and the Archivists might come to find there’s nowhere left for them to go but over.

"Detailed and mysterious, a place to explore and relish. Highly recommended!"―R. A. Salvatore, author of "The Legends of Drizzt"

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Erin Evans can make the reader care deeply about her characters, offering details and anecdotes, quirks and simple gestures to make those characters so very real. But what makes this book special, even by Erin's lofty goalposts, is the world she weaves around these characters. Detailed and mysterious, a place to explore and relish. Highly recommended!"—R. A. Salvatore, author of "The Legends of Drizzt" and DemonsWars novels

The best fantasy book I’ve read EVER!

From a stunning and twisting mystery to a spectacular political drama I could not put the book down. It has everything from found family, to a love triangle, to a twisting murder mystery. I can’t wait for the next book

The Archives are still awesome

I’ve always thought the concept of this world was really interesting. I love the way the archives are incorporated and how it factors into magic and its uses. I think this story did a great job of building on that, and the ongoing mysteries, without feeling super repetitive.

I enjoy Evan’s pacing and she does a great job of letting the cast shine without it feeling like constant info dumps or jamming characters in just to have them there. The story builds in an enjoyable and organic way. There are some twists and turns to the plot but it doesn’t feel drawn out just to hit a certain page count.

For me, the best part of this story was getting to learn more about Tunuk. I was very curious about him after the first book and this really helped to scratch that itch. My actual rating would probably be a 4.5 but for him (and because Audible doesn't allow half stars) we're rounding up!

The ending isn't quite a cliff hanger but it does leave my very curious to see what will happen next.

Love it!

it's Great read it! great characters Great development. awful cliff hanger, in a good way. magical spectacal. very wholesome pay off.
