About this listen
To the east of the long White Mountains, Arcan has made the arduous crossing of the Yamena Desert to reach Sargania and reclaim the crown stolen from him. To the west, war rages between the Sarganids and the Irulian armies of the King-Priest, and nothing seems to be able to stop it, not even Jahyna's determination. Taking advantage of the King's absence from Namathea and the mysterious illness that has weakened the great Priestess of Time, Galnor plots to seize power, even if it means corrupting his soul by allying himself with malevolent forces. To defeat his enemies and rule both sides of the White Mountains, Arcan must first conquer himself by undertaking the most perilous of journeys.
This novel has been praised by critics for its immersive cinematic writing style combined with a structure of short chapters that make it a real page-turner.
"It's fluid, incredibly skilful and flows seamlessly. No pauses, no hiccups. It really feels like watching a film. You don't miss a thing and the emotions are right there. It's brilliantly orchestrated, details are wisely distilled and transport us into the created universe." —The Readers' Moment
"The author takes us into a whirlwind of emotions. Betrayal, plot twists, murder, but also friendship, family, love - this duology makes us reflect on our own lives." —Bookish Chronicles
"In terms of suspense, this volume rivals the best thrillers. The author manages to draw us into his passion for antiquity, beliefs, conspiracies and war scenes without losing us. There are real stories of love and friendship, a sense of honour, plot twists worthy of the greatest adventure novels. But that's not all there is in the Acmen cycle. There's a rich belief in life after death and reincarnation. There are also reflections on the role of nature, overpopulation and the way leaders rule. Yes, all of this! Without heaviness. Florent Bainier has once again made me dream, think and escape." —The Chatterboxes
"A novel rich in emotions, twists, suspense and also spiritual reflections through the beliefs of the characters. The author binds us to the protagonists, makes us tremble for them, puts them in dangerous situations with uncertain outcomes, even as the climax approaches, with which he manages to surprise us. A first saga, masterfully controlled and perfectly woven" — Bookish Escapes
