Publisher's Summary

Forty years after the Oblivion crisis, the empire of Tamriel is threatened by a mysterious floating city, Umbriel, whose shadow spawns a terrifying undead army. Reeling from a devastating discovery, Prince Attrebus continues on his seemingly doomed quest to obtain a magic sword that holds the key to destroying the deadly invaders. Meanwhile, in the Imperial City, the spy Colin finds evidence of betrayal at the heart of the empire-if his own heart doesn't betray him first. And Annaïg, trapped in Umbriel itself, has become a slave to its dark lord and his insatiable hunger for souls. How can these three unlikely heroes save Tamriel when they cannot even save themselves?

Any additional comments?

If you love the elder scrolls games then this is a great series. Playing the game helps you understand more about the charters and what the raises have to do with the story line.

Daedra and soul-capturing swords

Picking up right where "The Infernal City" left off we are yet again thrust back into Tamriel and rooting for the good guys. Annaig (being that she is not of Umbriel) has a certain knack for introducing new recipies and dishes for the lord she serves. This is rewarded by her gaining her own kitchen and through deceit, murderous attempts at her life, and the condemnation of death on another she is able to recreate her previous kitchen's powerful secret ingredient.

In tandem to Annaig's story, The revolution leading Mere-Glim suffers a most unfotunate fate as Sul and Attrebus are released from the daedric enslaver and continue the search for Umbra.

An amazing end to the series with Michael Page narration makes for two must reads for an Elder Scrolls fan.

A must listen for any Elder Scrolls fan

Absolutely breathtaking. Really draws you in and captivates you. The narrator is excellent and does the voices uniquely.

I highly recommend this book, though make sure to listen to part one (The Infernal City) first!

Arnold Orczenegger

The voice the reader does for a female orc character sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger. 10/10

spectacular journey in the world of TES.

The performance was nuanced and the story was gripping. The way the world and characters were described and captured brings a new level of depth to one of may favorite fantasy worlds

Bad Narration

I just wish that the narrator knew a spec of how any of the races would sound.

Great storytelling

Loved it! Great performance and a familiar setting for Skyrim fans. Epic adventures and even some romance.

indifferent

This series has some interesting creations and plot points. Only started because it is elder scrolls. Only finished because I started it. Not bad but somehow lacking the magic of a good story. It sorta happens and is then over. Whole thing would be more riveting if I were listening to a bard sing through the tale.

A lot to Explore

Gives plenty of questions that allow you to enjoy Elder Scrolls proper on a deeper level.

beautiful ending well read

A great wrap up to the first book and consistent characters voices making it a joy to listen to
