Thirty Years After the Echoes of Fate Changed the Course of History, an Ancient Evil Stirs Once More.

Millennia in the dark has left these lost and forgotten monsters hungry for war. The people of Illian can do nothing but rely on their peacekeepers, the Dragorn.

Are the dragon riders ready for what has been buried under their feet?

Gideon Thorn, Master of the Dragorn, can feel the Third Age coming to an ominous end. With Inara Galfrey and her dragon by his side, they must investigate the return of this ancient evil.

Alijah Galfrey has only one talent - getting into trouble. When he isn't drinking, the half-elf is gambling his life away in the pursuit of relics no one cares about. Now, he finds himself at the sharp end of history. Can he take charge of his own future, or is he destined to be controlled by others?

Deep in the mines of Vengora, something ancient has been found, and the dwarves of Dhenaheim would go to war with the North over it. After 60 years in the world of men, Doran Heavybelly must finally return to his homeland if any peace is to be found....

kept me on my toes

it statrted off slow with the introduction of new characters but once it got started i couldn't stop listening to the book.

still keeping me wanting more

a little more battle scenes than I thought necessary to drive the scenario home but very good and on track.

awesome!

love this series, great writing, amazing story and I keep wanting more! so dont stop please

Future telling kills stories.

I really like this series, but just as the characters feel helpless and are saying, "what's the point, now?", so am I as a reader.

Is this series just about different characters flailing around from fight to fight? If future-telling is going to be such a big part of a overarching plot with zero hints that anything can be changed, it feels like I am just reading characters go through the motions, and I'm quickly losing interest. Adding future-telling into this story seems like more of a crutch or lazy way out of crafting an interesting and engaging overarching plot for the entire series. It feels like he is saying, "Well, the villain can see the future, so this is just how it is. No reason to spend any time on why this series exists or discuss where it is going."

The author's storytelling for each episode or scenario is solid and exciting, but the overall plot of the series is completely lost to me as a reader at this point. Speaking of lost, by the end of this book it reminded me of the tv show LOST. "That episode was exciting and interesting, but what is the actual point of anything going on here?" How did we get all the way to book 4 and this little time has been spent on the overarching plot? Did the author even know at this point or was he fumbling through the dark like his characters?

Philip C Quaintrell did it again!

Like all his books, this is a great listen! Story is well written with with familiar characters, and some new ones . This is an excellent start to a new storyline. Steven Brand’s narrating is perfect! This is the only way to follow the Echoes of Fate series!

not bad

It was not as good as I hoped, but it was rather well done. all the fantasy seems to run together today. it's hard to really be different, but this isn't too bad.
Entertaining for a while.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!! this one right here👆Get it

Awesome!!!! One of the most unexpectedly horrific and tragic deaths I've ever imagined Fuck Besos

No one is safe!

This is a pretty awesome story! No one character is safe and all are put in deathly Danger!! The narrator is amazing and kills it!!

Another Leg in the Adventure

Over all the work was well done! Steven Brand continues to breathe life into the world of Philip C. Quaintrell, who continues to present a fascinating world to fall into.

I appreciated the story. There were moments that felt weaker or perhaps rushed compared to the previous books, but I am a fan of the scenes painted overall. The difficulty of capturing an entire continent of activity while characters cross paths with other characters is no small task. I think I most appreciated the actual devastation presented; fact is, there is no perfect world where those fighting for "the good side" will always win. Seeing the delemas created between sides and the characters that wish to do the right thing, but don't always have the best grasp of what that may be was relatable. From the perspective of every character they are doing the right thing for the people they are tasked with leading.

At times, the antagonist was frustrating, yet I appreciated that the plan wasn't given away off the bat. We discover there are things kept even from those working with and for the antagonist. One of the centeral protagonists was also a bit frustrating at times, as they would complain or attempt a selfrightousness that didn't always fit. I would forget how old this character is supposed to be as the inner dialogue and actions could be seen as childish, yet aren't we all a touch childish when we get frustrated and things don't go as we wanted? I believe this book to be a worth while read/listen.
