"The story touches on many familiar fantasy plot points—magic, an ancient language, an ability to commune with wild creatures, a climactic battle between the forces of good and evil—yet manages to be satisfying. It’s aided by a capable reading from Barber, who invests Rollins’ characters with a variety of British accents that help make each a distinguishable, real person."- The Providence Journal

This audiobook includes a special introduction written and read by James Rollins.

An alliance embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the secrets of the distant past and save their world in this captivating, deeply visionary adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling thriller-master James Rollins.

A gifted student foretells an apocalypse. Her reward is a sentence of death.

Fleeing into the unknown, she is drawn into a team of outcasts:

A broken soldier, who once again takes up the weapons he’s forbidden to wield and carves a trail back home.

A drunken prince, who steps out from his beloved brother's shadow and claims a purpose of his own.

An imprisoned thief, who escapes the crushing dark and discovers a gleaming artifact—one that will ignite a power struggle across the globe.

On the run, hunted by enemies old and new, they must learn to trust each other in order to survive in a world evolved in strange, beautiful, and deadly ways, and uncover ancient secrets that hold the key to their salvation.

But with each passing moment, doom draws closer.

Very Good with unique twists and turns

I wasn't sure how this book was going to go but I found that I really liked it. He did his normal good job of fleshing out the characters and making them interesting, but I found as I read more that I wanted to read more. James Rollins always a does a good job with his books. Definitely worth the read!

Can't wait for book two!!

I love the multi perspectives this book offers the reader. In the beginning I wondered how all these characters would come together, but when they did it was a perfect fit. The excitement of the action scenes will have you at the edge of your seat giving you great moments and sometimes sad ones. I'm super excited for this series to continue.

Not really what I am used to from James Rollins

I have been reading/listening to James' books for about 12 years and this is the first fantasy out of his writings that I have read. I was honestly kind of shocked by the story because I am used to Sigma Force out of him. It was/is a very interesting story that tends to ramble a bit when describing some things. Way too many pages are spent describing some items/scenes where you expect it to be providing relevance for some reason, but it turns out he just spent 20 minutes describing a flower and never brings it up again...kind of odd compared to other stories from Mr. Rollins. I did enjoy the book (though not as much as others he has written) and the story was interesting, but I probably won't spend my money on another in this series.

needs a new narrator

Love James Rollins but this one was a struggle to get through. The narrator's voice is so calming, it's distracting. Good voice to put me to sleep but I could barely keep up with the story.

Loved it, Intriguing story

Rollins really knows how to keep you enthralled. Unique and interesting story. I didn't care much for the performers voice of reading the story. But Awesome story.
