Publisher's summary

The Frith Guild. The Second Ascension. The end of an era.

Volke Savan has sworn he’ll bring the Second Ascension to justice, but as the Autarch amasses power, it becomes apparent Volke’s task might not go as originally planned. God-arcanists gather on two sides of a brewing war, and the outcome of the arcane plague will determine the fate of the world.

With Evianna at his side, Volke must not only find the last of the god-creatures, but he must locate Luthair, defeat the Autarch, and save his friends from the ultimate corruption. As the tasks mount, so does Volke’s determination.

But the legends of the magic-destroying apoch dragon may change everything. The Autarch has made sure of it.

Continue the Frith Chronicles with the eighth and final book, Grandmaster Arcanist!

Fantastic book for an amazing series.

Another amazing book in the main series of the Frith Chronicles. This book closes the story and as much as I would like to read more about Volke's personal adventures it wraps everything up nicely. The narrator Brian Wiggins does a fantastic job, and the artwork in the hard cover copies of the book are an incredible touch. The Frith Chronicles is easily one of my favorites and I cannot recommend it enough to people.

WHAT AN ADVENTURE

This sensational and captivating series has ended, and I will admit I am sad about that, but man was it an adventure and kept me engaged and fall in love with the Frith World! I cannot wait to start the next series and will begin it right away!

I need more injected into my veins

The ending left me absolutely floored. The story felt rushed but it all came together at the end, bravo!

Good not great

Enjoyed all these books, but this last one felt rushed. Important, established characters just disappear from the narrative. Lots of telling rather than showing and exposition. Final battle was short. Still worth a listen if you like the other books, but wasn’t the send off I hoped for. Could and probably should have been twice the size or 2 books. Again, not terrible, just not the quality I expect from the series.

Great story!

It is a shame it was so short, I already listened to the first of the Academy books. Hopefully, there will be another book or two filling in the inbetween.

Great ending

No spoilers but the ending was just so well done. I’ve been going through this series for years now and I was so worried I’d be disappointed by the ending but it truly was worthy of the series it concluded.

Damn..

I can't believe this series ended, this has been an incredible journey. Following the Frith guild as they tackled challenge after challenge, book after book, I was not prepared for the ending of this beautiful story but I'm happy that I was able to experience it.
I look forward to listening to it all over again when the time comes.
My only complaint was that every so often the voice actor was a bit soft spoken for characters and I missed dialogue. And that the mixed voices were pretty hard to understand with the over flow of sound added to it.
But, no matter what any review says give this series a chance because you won't regret it.
