His friends are flung far and wide across Carthya and its neighboring lands. In a last-ditch effort to stave off what looks to be a devastating loss for the kingdom, Jaron undertakes what may be his last journey to save everything and everyone he loves.

And in the end, who will sit on Carthya's throne?

loved it

Great ending. very tense with much suspense. Could not wait to see how they could possibly get out of it and was not disappointed.
Character development was good. Great for all ages.

A delightful end to a delightful story

It was a nice and neat ending to a great story of a boy who would be king.

Amazing book and incredible storytelling!!

I’ve always loved this book series, and have reread/ listened to it more times than i can count. It’s just as incredible each time. I’m truly amazed by the author’s ability to craft the narrative, and the detailed, well thought out plot carefully laid out throughout the story. I would recommend this book to any reader, and hope that they enjoy it as much as I did. Especially those who enjoy sarcasm as much as I do :)

I also loved the performance. I think the narrator did justice to the series.

The ending with Imogen

I loved it, great share of thrill and romance. Jennifer A. Nielsen really did it with "Asedence series"

A great end

A great ending to the original Ascendance Trilogy (at least before the publication of Captive Kingdom) that brings us the true genius, and pitfalls, of Jaron Eckbert!
