Publisher's summary

Tyrion was a good person who had been born to a simple family and raised with love, but the world has shaped him for a different fate. Twisted by violence and torture, he is obsessed with a relentless desire for vengeance, and he has sown the seeds of wrath in his children. The She'Har have offered him the opportunity to be a great leader and usher in a new era of prosperity and peace, but, despite his gentle beginnings, Tyrion is no hero.

Heroes are born to build, and while many laud the efforts of such leaders, others will work to bring them down, for all good things must come to an end. Every forest must inevitably face the flame.

Destiny has chosen Tyrion for a different path and has given him the spark that will burn the world to ashes. Embracing the evil within, he will reap a harvest of hatred, and no one will find safety in the purge of fire that he brings; even the betrayer has his bane.

Will anything be left to rise from the ash?

Fantastic Read

This is the first time that I actually began to cry from an audiobook, the tragedie of Tyrions life hit me right in the feels.
The series is well written and Wyndham brings the whole thing to life.

Holy shit! Dear sweet baby jesus and the like!

this entire series is riveting. It combines a interesting story with a complex emotional narrative that looks deep into the darkness that is hatred, while also exhibiting the power of love in all of its glory. But it is not a love story or a classic good and evil struggle. If anything it's a Greek tragedy. Simply put hot damn!

Aaaaaagh! The emotions!

This is a tough one...not in a hard to read way, but in a jaw dropping action whilst making you cry way.
Wow.

Wow...

Most depressing book I’ve ever listened to, but very good! If you don’t mind getting your heart stomped on a little this is the book for you.

Great Story

Reader was perfect. The story was great, but too many questions unanswered. with this I hope the author continues the story at a later time.

Dang Gina

Refreshingly dark. A nail-biter at times. Pretty sure it had my heart racing several times to the point where I thought I was having a panic attack. Props to the narrator for bringing it to life.

dark and gut wrenching

Mr. Manning didn't fail to impress with the darker side of humanity in this one.

Possibly one of the best trilogies I've read

This has to be one of the best stories I've come across. There were so many elements to the characters that were believable and not once did the author break then away from their personalities. The ending was incredibly sad, but at the same time there's a sense of beauty to it. Definitely tugged at my heart.
