Publisher's summary

The Empire continues to lay waste to all who stand in their way....

Kibure’s captors are willing to teach him to control his magic, but such training is not given freely. And not everyone who offers help means well. Will Kibure become the wizard he needs to be in time to fulfill the destiny set out before him?

Meanwhile, Prince Aynward is framed for the worst of crimes: patricide and kingslaying. His sister, Dagmara, determines to help him escape judgment, but how many will have to die in order to keep Aynward from the gallows? Their journey will reunite them with old friends and bring Dagmara face-to-face with the legendary creatures known as Lumáles, but is she worthy to ride? And what happens when the Kingdom is overrun by the Empire and their sorcerers?

Don't miss the second installment of the award-winning Passage to Dawn series, an epic fantasy abounding with unexpected heroes, betrayal, magic, and nonstop adventure.

Includes bonus story To Earn the Sash.

Again...

I love this series. The world building and characters are amazing, including watching them grow.
I was worried this would be another coming of age regurgitation, but I don't see that at all.
The performance and voices are very well done in the audio, and reminds me of the acting in Michael G Manning books.
I anxiously await the third book.

Great book but hard to get through.

it's a great book but once someone gets framed it's gets hard to get through. I'll probably finish it at some point but for now I'm putting it down.

Basic

**MAYBE SPOILERS**


JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FANTASY BOOK. REDUNDANT. I was hoping the second book would get better but I doesn't. it's like any other fantasy with prophecies, guidance characters that know way more than the main characters/listeners that slowly feed you info on the story all the while the main characters never feel like they achieve anything of significance. the story advances far too slow for my taste and it's far too similar to every other fantasy book for me to keep listening to this series.

Garbage

Predictable trash. What happened to good books? I mean, I knew exactly what was gonna happen in every part of this trash fire.
