Tremaine Valiarde and a small, brave band of heroes ventured into a wondrous new realm on their desperate mission to save Ile-Rien from the conquering Gardier. Now, as a relentless enemy creates chaos and destruction - with the fate of the magical city of Lodun hanging in the balance - the last hope of a land besieged may rest on the far side of a secret portal.

But the doorway leads to a mysterious ruin hidden behind the awesome Gate of Gods - and to perils that dwarf anything Tremaine and her allies could have possibly imagined...

Critic reviews

"Wells shows us some very convincing characters in a desperate situation: attacked without warning, their usual weapons made ineffective, and with allies sometimes as strange as their enemies." ( Booklist)

it is a wonderfully told tale of magic and fantasy with overtones of survivors guilt and finding one's place.

Murderbot was so good, I have listened to or read Martha Wells for two months now. I wasn't expecting much from this fantasy story, but it combined fantasy elements with lots of world building and wartime atmosphere to make a good setting for some great characters.

Satisfying listen

I love the book but had to make my peace with the narration. I had really hoped at some point they would change the narrator in the series.

I made my peace with the narrator.

This is peak Martha Wells and yes I prefer it to Murderbot. I love them both but this is just so much more. The narration is not the best. Everything is over pronounced to the point that I was questioning if certain words actually have that many syllables.

Beautiful story and fun characters
