The World Has Fallen Into Ruin. Myth and Legend Have Proven True. Monsters Have Returned to Illian. 

Orcs, an ancient fiend thought lost to history, have risen from The Under Realm. Their hunger for total dominance has plunged Illian into war, pushing the survivors to Namdhor, the last refuge of man at the top of the world.

For those who stand up to this foe, they do so in darkness. Ash clouds smother the skies, blocking out the sun as the orcs rampage across the land.

Behind it all, manipulating from the shadows, The Black Hand fuels the war on both sides. The Crow, the one who was promised, has seen the future and works in the depths of The Bastion to forge a new weapon, a weapon that can stand against the dark at all costs.

Gideon Thorn is adrift, his order decimated, and his oath to protect the realm meaningless. The Master Dragorn faces his greatest test yet, balancing his duty to the people and his duty to his order.

Inara Galfrey has a choice to make as the realm’s darkest hour approaches. Malliath and Asher cannot be ignored but holding fast to her courage could save the world. It could also spell her end.

Doran Heavybelly finds himself at the throne of his father. There are realms of hell he would rather visit than the halls of his ancestors. Shackled and bound, however, the dwarf has no choice but to face his past....

Not a book for these times. Sadistic main characte

This book is putting me into a depression with it's sadistic main character of the Crow. I've found the series now during the COVID-19 pandemic and I've loved the series until now. This book is pushing me over the edge. I hate the fact that it's placing me in a depression. I don't know if I'll be able to finish it. The vile, sadistic character of the Crow is more than I can handle. I can't punish the narrator as all he's doing is reading the story and dialog, so I will reward him with a good review, but the book is vile. I can't recommend this book, I can't ever remember when I encountered a character this horrid managing to destroy a book for me. I guess some will take this as a high recommendation but sadism is not something I appreciate at any point. The Crow is a sadist and he's forcing another character to be the masochist against his will. That relationship in normally based upon a willing relationship. This is not willing

Best book series I have ever read

This book series is brilliantly wrote !!! Keeps me on my toes !! Has me begging for more !!! Thank you Philip c quaintrell for the wonderful adventure you take me on everytime I listen to your books !!!!!

A little Perverse...

Every chapter I was forced to listen to the Crow express his almost gross obsession with Alijah, in form of “lessons” made it that much harder to look forward to the next installment of the series.

I was lost until the middle, the time lapses 🤢

I enjoyed the first 3 books, but this one could have been great if we knew the new characters.

Asher

I love the book I finished it in a week. I was on pins and cushions throughout the whole book. The only problem with the book is Asher and the dragoons battles.I think if i was in the same situation Asher wouldn't be in the story anymore. I understand you to show flaws in the Master Dragoon but that flaw was the expense of to many lives.
getting reading to listen to the next book fingers crossed!

wow

This was one of the best of your series so far. Actually cheered at 1 point that I won't give away.

Enjoyable story

Enjoyable story, well performed, plenty of action, some good plot twists, as well as some interesting character development.

not nearly as riveting I as the previous installme

I had a little trouble getting through this book. didn't hold my attention nearly as well as the previous books. many of the characters seemed not to act true to their previous demeanor. Elijah and Asher seemed to me to stray the furthest. hope the nest installments lives up to the first three.

I'm thoroughly enjoy the series

Story telling, character development, foreshadowing all do a good job of closing the book but still leaving me wanting more.

awesome!!!

must read series. or listen too. keeps you on your toes. i felt like i was in the story. love it

Amazing!!

Fantastic I love everyone of these books it's an amazing listen wl worth the credit!!

Great book

Great series of books. I'm on my last one now, can't wait for next.

good and frustrating

overall a good story. but some of the tactics or lack of their use of them spoilt the story or made it a little predictable. but it is worth a read/listen

Cannot wait for the next book

Philip goes from stride to stride with book adding more twists and turns to the story while Steven brings each character to life. on more than one occasion I had goosebumps when threads from the previous books were picked up. cannot wait for the next book!

Another great read in the series.

Can't wait for #3 to come out on audible.

Really enjoying this series. Couldn't work out how SQ could take the original trilogy any further, as it was all quite neat. But I think this 2nd trilogy is even better than the first.
