In kingdoms at war, alliances are made to be broken in a thrilling novel of magic and dark conspiracies by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Warrior’s Ransom.

Ransom Barton and his wife, Claire de Murrow, have arrived in Legault to reclaim the title that was Claire’s birthright.

But when Ransom is summoned to return to King Benedict, his loyalty to Claire is tested. Fealty prevails, however questionable the king’s motives.

The ambitious Benedict, who controls his late father’s dominion, must prove his might. The warriors of the East Kingdoms have disrupted the trade routes, weakening every kingdom in their path. Benedict’s plan is to fend off a coming war through strategic alliances. But it’s Ransom’s post to keep the king’s allies—as well as his poisonous enemies—in line, even as Benedict’s defense may be inviting further chaos.

As the king’s power grows and Ransom’s rise in the council is secured, a shadowy conspiracy threatens to destroy everything Ransom has worked to build. Now torn between allegiance to the woman he loves and duty to king and country, which will Ransom choose?

Palace intrigue with king away

This story has an good plot in which Ransom is pulled away from Claire and his growing family to save King Benedict’s Kingdom while the king is off fighting a war. It is full of mistrust and betrayal. Meanwhile, Claire fights to save her kingdom. Demands on Ransom nearly wear him out.

So sad the book’s over

The story, voices, and writing are fabulous as expected. I, as always, read it entirely too fast.

Well done!

Well plotted and written, as is Wheeler’s usual.
Kate Rudd’s narration is outstanding, per her usual. 🙂

Jeff + Kate = Brilliance

Mr. Wheeler, Ms. Rudd, and Brilliance Audio bring these amazing stories to life in a way unlike I've ever experienced. The Ransom books are a powerful addition to the Kingfountain universe!

Great fantasy series!

The Story line, performance and just overall have liked the whole Ransom series by Jeff Wheeler.

It gets better and better! Love this series

This is such a great series. I love it.

I really like the writing style of Jeff Wheeler. Lucky day when I found this book.

Narration by Kate Rudd is fantastic!

War and intrigue

This is a book of war, intrigue and betrayal. Hopefully it will resolve in the next book in the series.

All Jeff Wheeler books are excellent

Kate Rudd does justice to Mr. Wheeler’s books
In a course of 6 months I have listened to the whole series twice.
That’s 32 books I’ll probably return to for years to come.
There’s undeniable morality and hope throughout all the stories, and the different cultures and worlds depicted are fascinating.
You can’t miss the presence of God and divine intervention.
Thank you dear author and narrator

Nothing new

This was a rather ponderous, lackluster ending to the Ransom Trilogy. True there were some tense moments but overall, the series could have finished in 2 books instead of 3. I was worried there for a while whether Claire would ever trust her husband, who had never given her a reason to doubt him. what an eigit she was, listening to malicious gossip instead of remembering the boy/man she grew up with. Honestly!!! 😏
All that being said, I do recommend this book because it is well written and finishes Hanson's story without burying him. Thanks, Mr Wheeler for another wholesome story worthy of being told. God bless!b keep but the good work.

Love It!

I Love these well developed characters, story lines and cultures. This series is so well done!
