Resumen del Editor

A dozen years of peace have passed in the city of White Gryphon - providing well-deserved and much-needed security for the people who had lost their homes in the magical Cataclysm which killed the Mage Urtho, creator of the gryphons. But the inhabitants of White Gryphon have not forgotten their long struggles, and have trained an elite guard force, the Silver Gryphons, to protect their city, and if necessary, to join with the army of the Black Kings for mutual defense.

Lightweight but Entertaining

A bit lightweight, but a better story than the previous book in this series. The characters are well-drawn and the plot is engaging enough.

Good voice acting

One of the best Audiobooks I’ve run across, the person reading was engaging and well spoken, with a clear voice and good pacing.

So good!

Such a great ending to a great trilogy. I loved to book when I first read it way back when and loved it now. A suspenseful adventure. definitely recommend

Tadreth's story

Tad is Skan's soon and tired of being the Black Gryphon's son. He and Blade are sent out on their first solo mission. A wonderful story and it also has Skan and Amberdrake. Great narration.

I have read this book many times, I loved the narrator!!

It’s not the best Mercedes Lackey book in my opinion but I still love it and the narrator of the 3 gryphon books did a great job!

Just one minor question...

This book, like the rest in this series was excellent. I’ve loved Misty’s work for years, and her “gryphon” series is among her best. In fact, I could wish for more stories from that time in her Velgarth books. But that’s neither here nor there. I just have one question for Audible, or whoever makes these decisions:

Who the heck is the dude on the cover supposed to be? I think someone missed a memo somewhere, or didn’t actually listen to the book, because Silverblade, the human lead, is most certainly female! No offense to the model or anything, but he’s not passing for a young woman anytime soon with that beard! 😆

All in all, fantastic book, great performance by a fine narrator, but seriously, fix the cover art. Thanks!

What's with the cover art?

I completely agree with the review by Paul - this cover art is atrocious! There is not a single character in the book to relate to the male figure (which was originally used for Lindsay Buroker's "Shattered Past"). And the eagle figure bears little resemblance to a gryphon. Please find a more appropriate image for this audiobook.

great book

great book but it's too short I really wanted more. but still great book.

OK if you’re a Valdemar fan

Well read but the story isn’t on par with Black Gryphon or White Gryphon. I kept falling out of the story because it dragged.

Too much angst, not enough plot development

Young adults get their first real jobs. Kids chafe for freedom and not being like famous parents. Parents worry about their kids and getting older. Kids run into trouble with the monsters of the most frequent appearance in the world of Valdemar and thus really overused. Families learn to understand each other and themselves better due to combat.
