Publisher's summary

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler’s epic Harbinger series comes to a breathtaking conclusion as two women are swept into a battle that could destroy two worlds.

Rescued from a world of poverty, Cettie Pratt has avoided a bleak destiny—until now. Deceived and manipulated, she has been groomed for the ultimate betrayal: to destroy her best friend and stop peace from uniting two war-torn worlds. Her path leads her to a mysterious underworld where appearances can be deceiving.

Sera Fitzempress knows the value she has to her enemies. As heir to the empire, she must keep her foes at bay and prevent them from unleashing a being of unspeakable evil upon the world while fighting a brutal war. But her enemies are more cunning than Sera expects, and the key to their plans is none other than her best friend.

Neither woman knows what to believe. Neither one knows if she can trust the other. Both Cettie and Sera have made decisions that have irrevocably changed them. But the decisions they have yet to make will determine the fate of their world…

Will there be peace?

I really enjoy reading Jeff Wheeler's books. This one I decided to listen to on Audible. The Narrator goes well beyond turning this into a fantastic book to listen to while driving or relaxing. The book is already a fantastic read but Kate Rudd takes that one step beyond. The two countries are at War, Main characters are kidnapped or missing and there's a war. It only gets better!!

Decent conclusion, disappointing beginning

while the book ended all right you definitely know there's more to come. my greatest disappointment with it is how weak Seti was to begin with, never feeling strong despite being so at the beginning of the series. She was forced to join the poisoners to protect those she loved, was there really another option? Kinda peved me in that sense.
On an unrelated and funnier note, did anyone else notice the similarity between this series and the last three star wars movies. I know Jeff couldn't have copied it, but they are eerily alike, down to the bad guy shooting lightning at the end.

Jeff Wheeler is a true storyteller

You cannot go wrong with one of Jeff Wheeler’s book series. He’s a master storyteller that brings depth to his characters and enough suspense to keep you engaged throughout the whole book. Kate Rudd is also my favorite narrator. Her voice is so soothing and her different voices and afflictions bring the characters to life. Overall, this book is not only for the younger generations, but also for the older ones as well. You won’t be disappointed!

My 11 yr old son and I enjoyed this series finale.

Exciting ending to the series. Katt is a wonderful audio performer and Jeff Wheeler has done a wonderful job weaving the story.

Wonderful series

This book is as good as its predecessors. Of course like any well written book it leaves you wanting more!!

Another Winner

Sad as this may well be the last in this series, and these characters are some of my favorite. A great listen, all threads seem to come together.

Finished but Rushed

First let me say I like this series. it's not the best or most robust fantasy series I've ever read but it is a good easy listening unique storyline. However this book I feel like did not do the prior books justice. The writer seemed to grow tired with the storyline and just wanted to wrap everything up in a nice as basket as possible and finish it. It seems like every page was another bland ending to a very interesting story arc. Even the way it opened seemed to be a cop out for having difficulty fully explaining the magic system of this book. I was able to finish it although with more difficulty than the other books and walk away from this series feeling no loose ends. However, perhaps I've been spoiled with the elegant storylines of Sanderson, Rothfuss, Abercrombie, Lynch etc but I was left wanting more from the book not just epiphany moments to finish it.

Wow

I really enjoyed this series. Truly an amazing story. I'm so happy its was no profanity and sex, just a well written story.
