Shadowrise

Shadowmarch: Volume III

Southmarch Castle is about to be caught between two implacable enemies, the ancient, immortal Qar and the insane god-king, the Autarch of Xis. Meanwhile, its two young defenders, the king’s children Princess Briony and Prince Barrick, are both trapped far away from home and fighting for their lives.

Barrick is lost behind the Shadowline, facing all the terrible dangers and mysteries of that magical twilight land. Briony is alone in a treacherous foreign court, struggling to survive with no weapon left to her but her wits. And in the midst of all this, something unbelievable is awakening underneath Southmarch, something powerful and terrible that the world has not seen for thousands of years.

In this third volume Barrick and Briony, along with Qinnitan - the Autarch’s desperate, escaped slave - a loyal soldier named Ferras Vansen, and a tiny handful of other folk, ordinary and extraordinary, must find a way to save their world, or else witness the rise of a terrible new age - an age of unending darkness.

a great listen

Tad Williams has to be one of the most imaginative writers, I've had the pleasure of reading or listening.

Time flies by when I'm listening!!

Really this is such a good book I'm enjoying the series so much the voice acting was great I highly recommend it

Loved this book

Very excited for the next book. This book has been exciting and the buildup has been a fun adventure. It can be slow at times but it’s worth every minute.

Wordy but intricately woven.

Like all Tad Williams series you have to have patience. Use too many words and could probably make the story a little more streamlined but spent the time to write an intricately woven story. Looking forward to the final book.

Good narration and a good story

A long story that I enjoyed while travelling recently. The narrator does a good job with the many different characters and his voice suits the tone of the story.
