The ancient land of Eirinn is mired in war. Ciara, princess of Mide, has never known a time when Eirinn's kingdoms were not battling for power or Northmen were not plundering their shores. The people of Mide have always been safe because of Ciara's unearthly ability to control her enemies' minds and actions. But lately a mysterious crow has been appearing to Ciara, whispering warnings of an even darker threat. Although her clansmen dismiss her visions as pagan nonsense, Ciara fears this coming evil will destroy not just Eirinn but the entire world.

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

Very repetitive
While I think the overall story could be interesting, they easy it was told made it painful to listen to. I can't count the number of times she wielded the most power she could contain and how she war so tired with no energy left to then get up and basically wield even more power and then be even more tired. I think the author was trying to convey a powerful struggle, but do to the repetitive description of house massive the struggle it fell flat for me.
I tried to finish it three times, but just couldn't make myself listen anymore.
I enjoyed the first book, but it seemed the author had a hard time describing epic battles. as the power grew in the struggles.
