Publisher's summary

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

The fifth book in the million-copy bestselling Kingfountain series from Jeff Wheeler.

Courtly intrigue and rumors of invasion plunge Kingfountain into turmoil as the search for Trynne’s father begins in earnest. But Trynne’s quest to learn the truth of Owen’s sinister disappearance is sidetracked when tragedy strikes her family once again. Suddenly, the future of the kingdom rests in her hands as she struggles to learn - and control - the power that can keep the threatening Deep Fathoms at bay.

When King Gahalatine unleashes his overwhelming forces against the realm, Trynne must draw on her political instincts, warrior training, and Fountain-blessed magic if she hopes to survive the chaos to come. But a final, epic confrontation will force Trynne into an unimaginable choice: save her kingdom and the lives of her people, or lose the one who means more to her than life itself.

I'll take Jeff Wheeler over George Martin anyday

Seriously. While I do think George Martin is a talented writer and world-builder, I think Wheeler writes his characters fantastically. They're realistic: they feel and fear and love and overcome obstacles. Better yet: there's no gratuitous sex and profanity so yay for that!

Trynne has become one of my favorite heroines of all time, and Kate Rudd voices her perfectly.

Truly excellent next installment in the series

The story alone stands as a testament to Wheeler's talent, but the surprise is in the convergence of multiple story lines. If you haven't read Wheeler's other series yet, start now.

I've fallen completely for Trynne and Fallon, even though my heart is also breaking for all that they experience. Wheeler continues to blow me away with his ability to draw deep emotional reactions from readers, while also portraying his characters as smart, savvy, emotionally intelligent heroines and heroes.

I cannot WAIT to find out what happens in the final installment of the Kingfountain series.

Another excellent production

The story is only complimented by Kate Rudd’s performance. I can highly recommend this ebook.

Just wow!

Each of Wheeler’s books I read gets better and better. I love seeing the origin of some of the magic from his other worlds here!

Great Series and narration

This author is so addicting. I just keep reading all these books in order. I literally can't stop.

The writing and stories are so good. The characters are fantastic.

The narration is superb. Kate Rudd brings these stories and characters to life. Perfect combination!

steadily downhill since book 3

I'll just be frank about this one. nobody gives a a shit about trynne, nobody enjoys sidelining owen for the textbook definition of a " mary sue" she doesn't struggle with anything other than her looks and has literally zero depth(similar to her idiot mother) I had hoped to find closure to a story so I proceeded past book 3, dismayed to find it gets worse the further it goes. this story was simplistic in a good way but I found myself drawing parables between the story after book 3 and the woke degradation of Hollywood storytelling.

Incredibly and imaginatively crafted!

Incredibly and imaginatively crafted! The characters and world are so well sculpted that the story remains wonderfully immersive.

Really dropping off

Overpowering superhuman bad guys overwhelming all but the love of a young gal? Really disappointed that this great series started so great and has lost so much. I’ve already bought the next. I will hope some level of non-comic-book fiction will renormalize this really great series. The performance remains flawless.

Enjoyably good book

I enjoyed this almost as much as all his other books, but it didn't have quiet the twist of emotions some of his other books have. The wretched remains to date one of my favorites for that very reason.
