Avalon stands revealed, but the war is far from over. For Layla Cassidy, it has only just begun.

Thrust into a new world full of magic and monsters, Layla has finally come to terms with her supernatural powers - and left her old life behind. But her enemies are relentless.

Sixteen months after her life changed forever, Layla and her team are besieged during a rescue attempt gone awry and must fight their way through to freedom. It turns out that Avalon has only grown since their last encounter, adding fresh villains to its horde. Meanwhile, revelations abound as Layla confronts twists and betrayals in her own life, with each new detail adding to the shadow that looms over her.

As Layla fights against the forces of evil, her powers begin to increase - and she discovers more about the darkness that lies in her past. As this same darkness threatens her future, will she be ready to fight for everything she holds dear?

I liked the story, and am a big fan of Steve McHugh’s work. This book and it’s predecessor was hard for me to listen to tho, as the narrator was honestly terrible. She mispronounced numerous things, like Abaddon and coupe and tourniquet. And her attempts at accents were subpar. I feel she never did any research on the previous works in this universe, which resulted in a poor performance. I hope she doesn’t narrate any more Steve McHugh books.

Good story. Bad narrator.

Loved all his books so far. You need to read all the Hellequin Chronicles first to really understand the full story. This series keeps the story and entertainment going.

Book two of what appears to be a 3 book series in McHugh's Avalon world. Really enjoyed this one as the characters grow and the story allows for more richer storytelling. Having read all the Helliquin books I have no problem following the story or understanding who the characters are. For good or bad, the pace of these books have been much quicker. If you have not ready these books I highly recommend them as this trilogy follows some of the characters and is set in the same world.

Another fun McHugh Avalon story

The narrator is pleasant to listen to but I found her inconsistent in her characters making it a bit confusing who was speaking. The story has much dialogue so knowing who is speaking is important to the story

Performance could be better

Narrator has a good voice but can't pronounce common words much less the names of several characters.

Narrator doesn't know how to pronounce words...
