Publisher's summary

War begins. But secrets have the power to end...everything.

Fallen princess. Traitor. Queen.

Forsaking her people and her birthright, Elise Lysander takes her place at the side of the new fae king of a broken land. Revered by some, hated by many, Elise’s fight for her love and freedom is only beginning.

As secrets of Castle Ravenspire come to light, Elise and Valen discover their enemies hold more power than they ever imagined.

It will take more than blades to defeat them: fulfilling a dangerous request from Valen’s imprisoned brother, destroying a prophecy of fate kept in the hands of Elise's brutal sister, and an unwilling alliance with a shadowed thief from a neighboring kingdom that might end in victory or more death.

Blood is calling. War will answer.

But for Elise and Valen this fight could be their hard-fought salvation…or a vicious end to everything they love.

Filled with luscious world building, banter-filled romance, and epic battles, this final book in the Northern Kingdom is part Viking, part fairytale. It is intended for mature listeners.

loved it

I love the characters and the story line , I feel like there could have been one more book to add more details I feel the ending was rushed but I know there are more books and I'm hoping those help with adding more I am not done with Elise and valens story but the next books take on a new journey I just hope they swivel back around or intertwine. Not a waste very enjoyable especially if you like Sara j maass or Jennifer L Armentrout books .

What to say but clever

I’ve greatly enjoyed these books! When I heard that the next would be about another storyline I was disappointed, but after finishing this book I’m already invested in the Nightrenders story. Engaging and very fast paced.

My Review:
I sooo wasn't excepting the story to take the route it did! This was a great conclusion to The northern kingdom. The whole family together! Lots of character development, descriptive scenes and oh the twists of fate. It was awesome meeting some new characters from the Eastern Kingdom, the nightrender especially, and seeing how the kingdoms intertwined. Loved it, another page turner with LJ’s amazing writing style! It was so spellbounding, I couldn't stop listening.

LJ Andrews is branding these books in my heart!
Another Great performance by Stina & Tim.

Very engaging

You can’t quite predict all the turns which keeps the book not predictable. I like the characters and how each have a story of their own.

Loved the story and half the narration

Really love Stina Nielsen’s performance but was taken out of the story by Tim Campbell’s performance. It was so rigid and he over annunciates everything. Didn’t go with the character at all.
