Heroes will rise. Nations will fall.

Behind the towering walls of Belduar, Calen Bryer and his companions stand in defense of the city and its new king. In over a thousand years, Belduar has never fallen. It has stood as a bastion of hope. But the Lorian empire are at its walls once more, and the Dragonguard are coming.

In the North, with Faenir by her side, Calen’s sister Ella arrives at the port of Antiquar. She holds no fear of the unknown. She will see this through, no matter what–or who–gets in her way.

Meanwhile, at the embassy of the Circle of Magii in Al’Nasla, Rist Havel hones his newfound powers in preparation for the trials. Unbeknownst to Rist, he is being watched, measured, and judged. He was not taken into the Circle by chance. There is greatness in him. But great men can do terrible things.

As Lorian forces land on southern shores and Aeson Virandr’s letters of rebellion find their way to the right hands, only the Knights of Achyron see the true danger...the danger that stirs in the darkness.

The coming shadow will not stop. It will consume all in its path. It wants for nothing but blood and fire.

For me this book has a familiar but distinct feeling. I am so happy to have read this. By virtue of being such a long book there is some pacing but it has been fun to explore this world and its hero’s. Worth the listen!

I only dabble in fantasy and got a hankering for dragon rider-type stories. Found this gem of a series that combines great story and writing with an amazing narrator. I'm a fan of Cahill and this series now.

Turned a casual a fantasy fan to a bigger fan!

10/10 I’m sure if you are wanting to read this book it’s because you loved the 1st book. So my review is known. Soooo well written and a great audio book, keeping me engaged the entire time and excited to pick up where I left off. Very much looking forward to book 3! This series needs more hype

The story line is so detailed and so well written

it's difficult to execute a high fantasy book with a cornucopia of characters and plots without losing the integrity of the story somewhere, "Of Darkness and Light" makes it look easy. Wow, just wow! And Derek Perkins is always superb. Finally after trifling through so many par and subpar novels, one worth finishing.
Read it....now

Marvelous fantasy at its best

This has to be my favorite fantasy series of this decade. I’ve already lost many hours of sleep because I was simply too excited to stop listening. If you liked book 1, this is even better!

Soooo much fun

I'm fully immersed in this world and am really looking forward to learning more about what our heros are facing and how they will inevitably defeat them. Seriously though, this is some fun straight up fantasy adventure with a fairly interesting world that keeps the pages turning! I did 2 and a novella in a row and I am not at all burnt out. I listen when I walk and read the rest of the time and this narrator makes me walk rather than drive so I can get a few more read to me chapters in, he is good!

Looking forward to book 3!
