Publisher's summary

From best-selling author Danielle L. Jensen comes a thrilling new novel in the Dark Shores world, a series that Sarah J. Maas called "everything I look for in a fantasy novel".

Their battles ended in victory....

Lydia returns to Mudaire to enter training at the healing temple. But instead of fighting to save lives, she’s convinced she is doing more harm than good. She delves into the history of the gods only to discover a truth that will change her life forever.

His birthright as commander of the Royal Army is finally in his grasp, but Killian feels anything but victorious. Burdened by his past, he embraces the darker side of his mark - and in doing so, risks starting a war.

But the war has only just begun....

Having defeated the tyrant Urcon, Marcus struggles to form a lasting alliance with the Arinoquians. But he is plagued by the knowledge that there is a traitor among his friends, and it could cost him everything that he’s fought for.

Torn between her growing allegiance to the 37th legion and her need to liberate her people, Teriana finds herself mired in a web of secrets. She embarks upon a path that will either save everyone she loves - or put them all in their graves.

Listeners may listen to either Dark Shores or Dark Skies first!

Perfect story combination

Danielle has brought the first two books Brilliantly together in this third book in the series. Tension, romance, betrayals, surprises and cliff hangers are through this book and cannot wait to see what happens next.

I wish it had ended very differently on every single front! I was looking forward to pieces that didn’t happen but all in all it was good

Outstanding series

Start with Tarnished Empire (book .5, the prequel) to fall in love with Agrippa & Marcus before getting into the incredible drama of this series. I can’t wait till Scorched Earth is available!! However, I’m really hoping it won’t be a full conclusion so this series can continue. Someone please make these books into movies!! I got hooked on this author with the bridge kingdom series. While you wait for SE to be released. Go ahead and listen to that series too! I rarely listen to a book more than once. I’ve now listened to this whole series 4 times and tarnished empire at least 6. Every time I pick up on some important details I didn’t notice before, like the connection between Marcus and his brother in law!!

Inconsistent pace

There were parts of this book that I loved, but to every part I loved there was a part I struggled through due to boredom. I am still holding on to the series because of the character building, but I am getting frustrated with the lack of resolutions in the story as a whole.

Outstanding less cliff hanger

This series is full of action, contemplation, fear and romance. Character development and relationships are outstanding. I don’t usually write reviews. I enjoyed this series so much I had to write it down. Where and when is the next book in the series. I have to say, while I knew there would be cliff hanger as I started chapter 100, my anxiety peaked in the last 3 minutes! I want more!

Somewhat Annoyed

If I had known that this book (#4) would not conclude the story I would have never started this series. It was slow going and spent time describing places and things that don’t move the story along. Book IV was published in 2021 so where is the conclusion?
