About this listen
The sun is rising…
And it shall raze the world to ash.
Astea’s Link is broken. Plague ravages the kingdom. Blood is made stone, and the fate of all life is sealed.
Kaido has finally donned the crown. In search of a cure, his army marches into Hecata’s Desert. Will they find his people’s salvation or their destruction?
Revolt brews in the west. Maisades and Izelle have rallied the followers, and their eyes are set on the throne. Otto has delivered them Mithras’ Link. Through her power, will they prevail?
Gods will be shattered. Blood shall be spilled. And from the crimson earth shall rise the heroes of Heartsong.
Open now the Book of Astea and learn what has been forgotten.
Sundered Moon is the thrilling conclusion to the Book of Astea duology. This gritty, epic fantasy series is perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive and Joe Abercrombie's First Law.

I loved the Ahmeralanche sprint to the finish that rivaled some of Sanderson’s own multi-POV climactic final acts with how propulsive it was across different locations while still connecting everything in a way that felt like a real convergence. Ahmer is not afraid to get gritty and raise the stakes at any moment, and he went BIG with this finale in a way that I just loved. While the series can be slightly cynical at times, the overarching sensibility is still one of hope/fighting for the good, which is a particular point along the noble-bright/grimdark spectrum I really connect to.
Ahmer did quite the job in bringing the various male POV characters to vivid life here. The new POV we got in this book became my favorite, in addition to a few that I had already connected to. Like Joe Abercrombie from the First Law trilogy, something Ahmer can work on going forward is matching the 3D male POVs with some more fleshed out female ones. The two female POVs never fully came to life for me, and I’d probably say the same for most of the non-POV side characters. For a debut series though, that’s a small quibble and I come out of this utterly impressed by Ahmer’s creativity, dramatic sensibility, and writing chops. He is a force to be reckoned with in modern epic fantasy, and I can’t wait to see what he cooks up next.
Awesome finale!
