Publisher's Summary

A song of love won her heart.
A song of darkness haunted her soul.
A song in the dance would seal her fate.

Seers had long foreseen an extraordinary destiny for Ellysetta Baristani. Already she had won the heart of the Fey King - the magnificent Rain, ever her ally, eternally her love. She had saved the offspring of the magical tairen and fought beside her legendary mate against the armies of Eld. But the most powerful and dangerous Verse of her Song had yet to be sung.

As the final battle draws nigh and evil tightens its grip upon her soul, will Ellysetta secure the world for Light or plunge it into Darkness for all eternity? As she and Rain fight for each other, side by side, will they find a way to complete their truemate bond and defeat the evil High Mage of Eld before it's too late, or must they make the ultimate sacrifice to save their world?

Artfully spun tale

It been a while since I've read a fantasy series and the first time I've read a a fantasy romance series. C.L. does a masterful job of keeping you in suspense and leaving you teetering on despair wondering how the heroes are going to surmount the overwhelming odds set against them.

For fans of Sarah J Maas!

This is one of favorite series and this book was the perfect ending for it. If you are a fan of Sarah J Maas, you will enjoy this work as well. It is an excellent fantasy saga with great world building, character development, romance, and story line across all 5 books. C.L. Wilson deserves more recognition in the genera. Emily Durante does a fantastic job with the performance as well.

This story!

This was an amazing adventure from book one all the way through to the end. When I first read the book I felt it was rushed but listening to it, with a reader who can take their time and not "eat the book" it was wonderfully done. Not rushed and just leaves you with the feel goods

This book didn't add anything to the story

Any additional comments?

I'm disappointed with this series and for me, this book didn't bring anything relevant, just concluded the saga. In my opinion, this book is very poor of narrative elements. The story goes around the main characters without actually developing. Besides, I found the ending really bad. So don't waste your time with this series.. is disappointing.

Best Book

This book was the best book in the series. very action packed and it came to a good resolution, whole still leaving us wanting more.

love it

love this series I can get enough of it i recommend it to anyone I can

Amazing ending to series.

My only complaint of ending is the repeat of the maker and unmaker, repeated too many times at end of book. There has to be other things to say. It was such a joyous occasione. The long journey and fight for good and evil. Should have had such better insights to share. Plus one more book on say five to ten years into the future, would be a crowning glory to see how everyone's lives turned out. As well as Rains and Ellie's.......

GREAT!!!!

You need to read the series. it's great filled with everything u could imagine. Definitely one of my favorite series.

Too many to pick one.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The whole series was wonderful. I could hardly put the series down.

Any additional comments?

I want another good series to read. Get going on writing another one.

Super finale and worth the jouney!!

This was non-stop battle action from start to finish, and although it was still romantic in places, the focus was wrapping up all the story-lines in the series, and bringing the central relationship between Rain and Elysetta to it ultimate conclusion. Moves from one epic war scene to another at a rapid pace that gives the listener a sense of urgency and approaching dread. Durante is solid again, but I would have liked a different narrator. Elysetta sounded too childish, and all the male characters sounded very similar, so it was hard to differentiate them by voice alone. This series was a fabulous discovery for me and it is worth making the journey through them all. I might even buy the books. Fabulous ending!
