About this listen

Separated from Ember and Max, Kael Symes turns to an old friend to help hide the afterlife tokens in Talohna’s most terrifying locales.

After nearly two years and with one token left to hide, a powerful magical event hits Talohna and causes the failure of the most important spell Kael has ever cast. The horrific results leave him a wanted man and all of his efforts to form an alliance against the Ri’Tek fall apart.

With the tokens hidden at last, Kael wants nothing more than to forget the past and to spend time with his family, but knowing they will never be safe no matter where they hide, he recruits Treach in a bid to scour the Arcane Library catacombs for an answer. When the fallen god discovers the location of a legendary fortress thought to exist only in myth, Kael and his allies set out to find the hidden keep in the hopes of making it a home for the children born under the rays of the Black Sun.

Unfortunately for Kael and everyone he cares about, myths in Talohna are often grounded in reality and when they stumble into the cursed grounds of Solikyr Fortress, Kael prays that the last five years have hardened him enough to protect his loved ones from the gauntlet of horrors that have infected the fortress and its massive castle. Kael and his companions press further into the fortress and deeper into the curse, only to discover one of Talohna’s oldest and most dangerous secrets.

One that will leave its mark on them all.

Best book in the series so far!

This book was action packed and finally started to bring everything together. I can't wait to see where the next book takes things. I highly recommend this series to any fantasy fan.

As usual, Simon Vance did a great job narrating and he has become one of my top 3 narrators joining Tim Gerad Reynolds and Nick Podehl.

love it

As always Vance is an excellent narrator.
Each book gets a little more convoluted but still a grand adventure.

However, had I not read Northmen first this book wouldnt have tied together coherently enough for me. If I were the powers that be, I would have made the main books longer and tied that and any other side story into the main line.

Keep Going!

they threw lots of new questions in with all that happened in this book. if you've made it this far in the series you know you can't just stop with the last 1! This 1 is definitely going to have you very anxiously ready to get to the next 1 with the events throughout and definitely the last chapter!

Next book please

Someone needs to get a wiki going. I had to re-listen to book 3 before this one because of how much I forgot. A good wiki would have jogged my memory enough to follow along. I started making notes, so when book 5 comes out, I'll be ready.
