Publisher's summary

Ignas Corvinus, ruler of Vlachia, has been captured by his worst enemies. A puppet ruler has been installed to lead the most powerful nation in Archemi, and he's doing his best to blame Hector Park, his dragon Karalti, and their allies for the world's problems.

Hector has only two words for him: They start with F and end with "you".

In the ongoing war between Archemi and the forces of the Void, the battle for the soul and throne of Vlachia is crucial. With one powerful nation recently conquered and the other being corrupted from within, the world's fate hinges on Hector leading his adopted homeland back from the brink—and perhaps playing a greater role in its future than he ever believed possible.

Join Hector and Karalti on this epic Final Fantasy-style LitRPG adventure, in which the heroes find love, triumph, and struggle against overwhelming odds in the battle to save their world. May contain creative swearing, military humor, and excessive dragons.

Fantastic Continuation

A great addition to the series. Definately a fun and exciting ride. Multiple plot lines are brought up and concluded in the book, which all help to progress the story. Once again, the narration is phenomenal with music and sound effects that really help to further immerse yourself into the story.

SBT And Baldwin Strikes Again!

Wow! The drama and emotion the music brings to this story is phenomenal and this was well worth the wait!

The story intensifies and new depth to what's really going on is brought to the fore front. The shape of the true threat takes shape. Pity for some enemies, and new levels of loathing for others. And for us techies, how this was even possible inside of Archemi at is given voice.

Quest completed and new quest discovered. Not once have I left any of the Archemi books feeling like I was cliff-hanger'd but I'm always excited for the next installment and Crowned in Black does it again and even better!

Here's to book 7!

Epicness

So buckle up everyone, this book is insane and will take you a rollercoaster of a story! This is by far the best in the series. The sound effects, plot development and massive revelations through the story really start to fill out the hats been going on since the beginning. If nothing else, I’m seeing this turning into an animated series on Netflix or funimation/Crunchyroll one day.

I can’t wait for the next book let’s go!!

Keeps getting better (no spoilers here)

Each book is better than the previous ones, I'm glad I've gone this far. Narration was perfect, of course, and the story does progress and I can see an epic conclusion coming within a couple more books. You get more of the Drachin (spelling) in this one, and a great plot twist near the end. If you've gone this far in the series you won't be disappointed by this one

One of the best series I've read!

Mr. Baldwin can really write personal growth

Once again this story grows and evolves. The main character has come such a long way in this series. I love seeing growth like this especially since it is all the characters not just the MC. The people over at Soundbooth Theater once again do an amazing job bringing these characters to life. Also the background music was very well done, not overwhelming at all.

This has left me wishing the next book was already here! The suspense was perfectly captured throughout the entire length of the story.
