Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer. Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom. And Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well. Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news.

Publisher's Summary
The third book of epic conflicts and arcane intrigue in New York Times best-selling author Anthony Ryan's Draconis Memoria series.
For hundreds of years, the Ironship Trading Syndicate was fueled by drake blood - and protected by the Blood-blessed, those few who could drink it and wield fearsome powers. But now the very thing that sustained the corporate world threatens to destroy it.
A drake of unimaginable power has risen, and it commands an army of both beasts and men. Rogue Blood-blessed Claydon Torcreek, Syndicate agent Lizanne Lethridge, and Ironship captain Corrick Hilemore, spread to disparate corners of the world, must rely upon the new powers and knowledge they have gained at great price to halt its forces - or face the end of all they know.

Good work!
The story is well written and there are no ex machina like events. Narrator has shown considerable improvement on the quality of the narration. I did not regret the purchase.
For me personally Anthony Ryan is one of the great authors of my time. I haven’t been so completely riveted to an epic since JRR Tolkien, and Ryan’s writing style is much more succinct than Tolkien’s anyway.

Gather Your Notes Beforehand
While the reader is excellent, you’ll nonetheless want to assemble a printed list of the characters, and all relevant maps to really appreciate, nay, FOLLOW, the action. These books should bring particular pleasure to those who love both fantasy and military history.

Fantastic conclusion to a wonderful book series!
I cannot say enough good things about this book series. It is everything a Flintlock fantasy / steampunk / dieselpunk enthusiast could ever ask for. I love every minute of this audiobook and love the story arcs converging into an incredible climax. I would gladly revisit this setting with a prequel or sequel series of follow-on literature. Bravo.

Awesome Development but still..............
I really enjoyed getting more information and the various developments of the characters. It was still as frustrating as ever with the cutting of perspectives from one character to the next but I must say it was really riding the edge of being tolerable or annoying...I think Mr. Ryan has no problem whatsoever writing the beginning and middle of a book but the endings usually leave something to be desired. I am not sure if this was a trilogy but I really really hope it isnt because simply was "for lack of better words" a shit ending..please don't be a trilogy!!

Good but frustrating narration
It’s a great series, definitely worth your credits. Sort of a gentler zombie apocalypse with dragons and magic tale.
Although I think the narrator is skilled, I found his inability to not speak like an upper class English gentleman frustrating. There are main characters who are from the streets and who use corresponding language, yet he chooses to do their voices like King George is reading their lines. I found that forever distracting.

Less than the first two
Still good, but not up to the first two. Less character development; more battle scenes. Also less serious flow motivation. Too predictable.
