Story
If there were two more impetuous and carefree men in the Kingdom of the Isles, they had yet to be found. Twins Borric and Erland wore that mantle proudly, much to the chagrin of their father, Prince Arutha of Krondor. But their blissful youth has come to an end. Their uncle, the king, has produced no male children. Bypassing himself, Arutha names Borric, the eldest twin by seconds, the royal heir. As his brother, Erland will have his own great responsibilities to shoulder.

The Riftwars were epic battles between Good and Evil whose ramifications have echoed through generations. The latest entry in the epic, A Kingdom Besieged, ushers in the most fearsome threat the Kingdom has yet faced - the Chaoswar - a magic apocalypse with cataclysmic results.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

I love the twisting turning plots and fullness
Characters are fully developed, the shadings of personality are complex just as each of us is. The plots has subtle twists and divergence just as you think you see the whole picture you realize that there is still more to consider. I have listened to it twice and know I will need to listen to the entire Rift War series again as it's going to be with a keener ear to put deeper nuances on some events.
Such a pleasure.
I would love to hear the series redone with a group of narrators for the various main characters and an overall narrator for sub characters and main story.
Thanks awfully for such an awesome saga.

Finale in an epic trilogy
Mistress of the empire is the third book in the Empire trilogy by Janny Wurts and Raymond E Feist, two epic writers in my view.
Mara’s enemies plot revenge against her and her family. Although Mara survives, some of her loved ones don’t. Her spymaster plays a key role in this book. While Mara travels to gain further alliances, her enemies grow and fear her change to the traditional ways.
The way the story was written, the unravelling story, the battle to overcome the assembly, all come together in this grand finale. I absolutely loved this story and the clever way the book was written. I enjoyed the series, the way it was written, as well as the characters.
The narrator was brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed her performance.
I highly recommend this amazing trilogy.

Faulty audiobook, but good narrator and story
Sadly this audiobook is faulty. A couple of places it skips back to play the same section again, as well as some audio quality problems
