The Echoes of Fate Will Not Be Forgotten. The Words Uttered a Thousand Years Ago Will Come to Pass, and a New Age Will Dawn....

War is set to ravage Illian. The elves sail from the east. The savage Darkakin rise from the south. Valanis, the dark elf, is finally free of his prison and eager to see his work finished. Only then will he be free of the gods who still haunt him.

A new hope rises in The Red Mountains. There, the last remaining dragons have been discovered. Gideon and Galanör, human and elf, will have to work together if they are to convince Adriel, the last of the Dragorn order, to intervene in the coming war.

Devoid of hope and unsure what road to take, Asher and his companions must decide what role they will play as the realm unravels into bloodshed. The only weapon known to rival Valanis' power is in a place the ranger has avoided for a long time, a place where, until now, neither man nor elf would dare to tread.

Civil war has shattered the empire in The Arid Lands as the slaves make their stand against the highborns. But, while revolution brews, a greater threat looms. As a thunderous cacophony of steel and savagery marches through The Undying Mountains, who will stand before this army of death....

Excellent Continuation of the Story

Lots of adventure, broadening of character arcs, tragic losses, character debasement, new characters and plot revelations (one of which will rock the very foundation of the entwined relationship of dragons, elves and humans).

Very entertaining.

Good

I'm really enjoying this author books. The story is really good, I've gotten a little confused here and there, but overall very enjoyable read.

Good series

I enjoyed the series and hope audible continues with the 3rd book. A word of caution however there are so man characters it can be frustrating at times.

Koren

I really enjoyed this story and I plan on reading the next in the series.If you are trying to decide weather of not to buy this book I say ignore the haters and get ready for a book that is non stop excitement and never slows .Enjoy!

Empire of Dirt

I love a good elf story and most books or tv have them being arrogant, self centered and totally gorgeous. But never have I read books where some were totally outright killers of innocent people or anything that breath for that matter. Story line is great and there is so much happening in different places that you have to be quick to remind yourself of where you’re supposed to be. Very mood changing read that just keep you listening even when you want to fast forward to keep from being shocked by an event.

Great story - bad narrator

Caption says it all. I feel I would have enjoyed this story more if I had read a physical copy rather than listen to the audio book. The narrator just reads it so fast and doesn’t really change the inflection of his voice for most of the characters. He doesn’t even pause for changing settings within the same chapter. So if you aren’t paying VERY close attention it is easy to miss something.

great

absolutely love it. excellent story telling. the narrator did a great job of telling the story

even better

the amazing story continues. cant wait to start book 3 and secretly hope there are a dozen more to follow.

Wow!!!

It’s getting harder for me to find good series that I can’t put down. This is a gem that I wish I had found years ago.
If you’re looking for Action, this series is a must.

Awesome

Fantastic work of creating the whole picture with words. Truly a well written story and one well read.
