The alliance of humans and renegade Fhrey is fragile - and about to be tested as never before. Persephone keeps the human clans from turning on one another through her iron will and a compassionate heart. The arrogant Fhrey are barely held in check by their leader, Nyphron, who seeks to advance his own nefarious agenda through a loveless marriage that will result in the betrayal of the person Persephone loves most: Raithe, the God Killer.

Wonderful Story and Performance

I try not to give perfect scores unless I absolutely mean it. I always reread a book that I want to give a perfect score so I know it isn't just recency bias. After the second reading, and some time to think, I still felt the same way about this novel.
The story is gripping and Mr Reynolds narrating is always amazing. If you have enjoyed any of Mr Sullivan work, this one is just as good if not better.
The characters have grown and more entertaining then ever. This is a serious novel that grabs your attention and doesn't let go till the end. However serious the story, Mr Sullivan makes it fun and keeps it moving through both the sad and tense moments with the feeling that we will still be satisfied, and I was always satisfied. We learn just as much in this novel as in the previous while not learning so much we can guess the next step.
Best way for me to recommend this is to simply say, I love Epic Fantasy novels and this novel and series is why. It isn't just for those of us who read Fantasy, but for anyone who enjoys characters with meaning and a story that makes you feel something. I truly hope everyone has a chance to enjoy this novel along all of Mr Sullivan's novels and Mr Reynolds amazing performance ad narrator.
