Take a dash of Harry Potter and a splash of Oliver Twist, add a pinch of steampunk and a sprinkle of Victorian fairy lore, and what do you get? The Gryphon Chronicles! A rollicking fantasy adventure series that's as much fun for grownups as it is for kids.

One Night. One Mission. One Destiny.

In a world plunged into chaos by dark magic and monstrous creatures, destiny awaits Jake Everton in the scorched sands of Karakum, where the Black Fortress, stronghold of the Dark Druids, looms over a fiery crater, holding captive countless agents of the Order—including Jake's own parents. If they're still alive.

Once an orphaned street urchin, now a brave thirteen-year-old warrior with incredible powers, Jake must venture into the heart of darkness to save them. With his fearless Gryphon and his loyal band of friends (who refuse to be left behind!), the bold young adventurers will face monstrous trials and magical mayhem.

In this pulse-pounding installment of The Gryphon Chronicles, secrets will be revealed, courage will be tested, and sacrifices will be made. The path is fraught with peril, but Jake must break the power of the sorcerer-king and will stop at nothing to reunite his family.

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure that will keep young and old alike on the edge of their seats. Will Jake and his friends triumph over evil? Or will the desert's flames consume everything they hold dear?

Join Jake on his most thrilling quest yet—for time is running out, and the battle for everything begins now.

action packed, strong individuality. I loved it

I loved that the conclusion was pretty well flushed out but still a lot to wonder about. it also highlighted that they all were strong independent individuals. it was action packed too which really made it fun to listen to.

Excellent end to the series.

So glad we didn’t give up after the previous book. This one was 100x better and a great way to end the series.

WOW!!!

OMG!! Action from cover to cover. Lots of laughs and even some tears but a whole lot of Wows!! The whole series has been one amazing story after another but this book blew me out of the water (or desert is more like it haha). HIGHLY recommend this series!!

Sinusoidal Waves of Action in this Installment that Keeps Your Heart Racing!

Many threads are resolved as the climax of Jake Everton's journey in facing his destiny reaches its height! Oh, but surprises await as to how the journey unfolds, not only for Jake and his friends but all of man and magic-kind. This book has it all: action, drama, love, sadness, fear, loneliness, empathy, and uncertainty. Every detail of the setting and pertinent background of the character is shared to encapsulate the essence of the moment, so that you are invested into the story and enamored at the next stunt that the kids pull off or at the tricks Wyvern unleashes onto the Order. This installment is beautifully crafted, not only to deliver the outcome of the war, but also to lead into a new world with a sense of new beginnings, opportunities and growth. The excitement and driving momentum of the story could not have been enhanced any better than with Narrator Jake Benson at the helm. Benson is truly a master of voices, and now evident as a master singer as well! As a long- standing fan of the Gryphon Chronicles, this book is by far the best yet - both thrilling, thought-provoking and imaginative. I am highly confident readers will utterly love reading this book! I did!!!!

Awesome series

I loved these books!! The series was a combination of the best of Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia and the Valdemar series. Each book kept me wanting the next one even more. Well written, in depth characters, lots of action as well as a great all round story. I’m sad that there isn’t another book! The narration was awesome as well. Well done!
