Siege and Sacrifice

Numina, Book 3

De: Charlie N. Holmberg

Narrado por: Lauren Ezzo, Scott Merriman

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician Series comes the enthralling climax of a cataclysmic war between monstrous creatures.

Sandis has finally freed herself from her master and his plans to use her as a vessel for the ancient beast Kolosos. But her master has found a new, impossible vessel: Sandis’s brother, Anon - a brother she long thought dead.

Kolosos is ancient, massive, and seemingly unbeatable. Fortunately, Sandis has her own monster - an ethereal fire horse that she can summon at will. In addition, she and Rone may have discovered the secret to defeating Kolosos: ancient lore that details the creation of magic. It could be the key to victory and the key to saving Anon.

The price is steep, and Sandis is willing to pay it. Rone is not, and his attempt to save her only pulls them apart. As both are tested in ways they never expected, Sandis and Rone will need to determine the sacrifices they are willing to make. If their efforts are not enough, their city will fall...just as the ancient city beneath it already has.

Loved this trilogy!

This is one of those books that keeps you up too late because you can't stop listening! I loved the storyline and the characters. I highly recommend this book!

Epic

Incredible series! So many twists and a great conclusion to it! Much darker than Paper Magician series (which was awesome) and definitely not for the Disney crowd. Well written and performed!

A New Favorite!

This series is absolutely fantastic! Great author and narration! Worth every penny! This is a great story for adults and teens alike, guys or girls can get into these books...

Could not stop listening.

Sat in my car for hours after my commute! Thrilling, suspenseful and touching. I even she'd a tear or two.

Great ending book for the series!!

The entire series was great. Couldn't wait for this last book and I was impressed by then realistic content. No super sappy ending just written by a skillful writer and performed by awesome actors!!!

Awesome Storyteller

Charlie Holmberg is my new favorite author. The performers bring the story to life beautifully.

Wonderful and Magical

Another fantastic world inside Mr. Holmberg’s imagination. The characters were well rounded, the story arcs well crafted and overall an absolute delight! I’m hooked on his books!!

Must read first two novels in series prior to reading book 3

The fight to overcome the demon Kolosos is becoming more difficult as he is destroying churches and the town. There is conflict between the army, the city leaders, and Sandi’s and Rone. No one but “the vessels” really understand how to try to destroy the demon, and Sandis has only told Rone and other vessels that the demon is her brother Alon. Rone and Sandis become separated and we learn more of the Numina. Enjoyed the series

Hard to listen to

The female voice talent on this one -and actually in the entire series has just grown more and more frenetic and hard to listen to. The storyline of the series is good although the second and third books felt like they could’ve been tightened up and it should have been a large single book. Maybe more money in the split. The male vocals were good, and I was relieved when it went to his parts, and the woman voice was great but her acting made me speed up the playback just to move through more quickly.

Good Ending!

I loved the first book, barely made it through the second book and liked this book a lot. Scott’s performance was wonderful! But, Lauren’s performance was a tad over dramatic.
