Publisher's summary

The second book in the epic Evermen Saga.

With the fate of their homeland still in jeopardy, siblings Ella and Miro must face the Primate’s evil as he discovers a new technique: a way to extract essence from human blood.

The Primate has been temporarily defeated, but his home was once inhabited by the Evermen, and their ancient secrets still remain there. As the mysterious Evrin sets out to destroy everything he can, the Primate stumbles upon an ancient book that tells of a hidden relic with unfathomable power - and he will stop at nothing to find it.

Realizing the solution to defeating the Primate and saving the Empire is tied to the hidden relic, Ella, Miro, Killian, and the desert prince Ilathor must race to reach the relic before the Primate…or suffer disastrous consequences.

good

good. some audio issues. be the rest red are some word two one two one

not disappointed

from start to finish a very good book. With good character development and plot evolution to keep you listening.

Great Saga

Well-imagined world with a history, religion, relics and fascinating characters. Excellent follow-up to The Enchantress. It answered the burning questions and left some things to the imagination. Lots of things to think about. Deep themes.

I Think I Forgot to Breathe

This, the second installment in the Evermen Saga, seemed to go at warp speed from beginning to end. I hardly felt like I drew a breath through the entire story. I know that this epic saga will be one that I listen to again and again, as it's simply got so much going on constantly. The layers of intrigue abound as we just barely breach the surface of who the Evermen actually were.

Wonderfully written, beautifully woven, artfully crafted. I remain stunned by the force of this story.

I was worried but... Never fear!

After a while I was worried that the story would end. By that I mean, where do we go from here if all the issues are resolved? Thankfully, there is an epilogue ;)

Good Book

I fell over all it was a good book but it felt like a drifted off in different areas.

excellent!!

Vivid description of another world in another time. the characters come alive throughout the story. can't wait to read the next book!!

Sneaky, sneaky, Mr. Maxwell!

I don't normally review more than one book in a series. No one needs more than one dose of my opinion on anything. However, I feel compelled to put my two cents in on this series one more time.

My review of the first book had lower scores than this one. But Maxwell has really ramped up his game by the second book, and no sooner did I finish this one than I turned around and bought the third one. I can't NOT listen/read this series now. I didn't get hooked at first, but now I am. And this book contained quite a surprise for me.

Whether intentional or not, what this author has done is to pen a history of OUR current events set into a fantasy world. When you see the parallels between his world and the real world, you can see the entire plot line winding out ahead of you. It makes for uncomfortable listening at times, and there have been several moments when I had to shut it off for a little while to recover from the suspense before I continued on. This isn't light and breezy and he tackles some extremely difficult scenarios with a deft hand.

It would be difficult to actually describe the series without getting a bit too wordy. But I will say that I am highly interested in seeing what happens in the last book, as I desperately want to find out what Mr. Maxwell thinks will happen to us. He's written our story, whether he likes it or not! And if it was intentional, it was rather sneaky of him to spring it on us like this. Well done.

The Evermen Saga is amazing

This second installment was so good and took all of our favorite characters on another awesome adventure!!!. Starting number 3 right now.

Great 😊

I listened to the first book several weeks ago but didn’t buy The Hidden Relic. I didn’t have anything to listen to so started the first book again and really listened, it was fantastic.
Now I’m going for the third book. Can’t wait to hear what happens next.
