Publisher's summary
Elliot is now alone. He’s left Elmor and his friends behind as he heads for the Mountains of the Forgotten World on a mission, which is almost impossible to accomplish.
The Elder Races, the creatures that according to legend are haunted by an ancient curse, are his only hope of defeating Walter. Nobody knows if Elliot has the power to break the curse, and Queen Sophie and the people of Elmor depend on him. Walter may have been defeated in the last battle, but he’ll soon return more determined than ever to destroy his remaining enemies once and for all.
Elliot needs new allies, but the creatures he wants to get on his side have suffered at the hands of humans. Will he manage to convince the Elder Races that he is different?
The second book in the series, The Dance of Light, will engage you in a compelling journey full of unexpected twists and thrills until the final minute.-------------------
Scotts' foray into fiction: In this book Gregory has managed to further enhance a deeply rich story with complex characters and world building. Note this series is starting to turn up the notch in the Grimdark themes, so if you like that, you will probably love this series. This was an awesome follow up to The Return of the Knights and I’m itching to find out what happens in the next book.
Grimdark magazine: Kontaxis maintains a steady pace throughout this second volume of the series, never lagging as the story builds up to its striking climax. Overall, The Fall of the Giants improves upon The Return of the Knights in every way, delivering an impressive epic fantasy that brings new layers of nuance to both the characters and story.
James Harwood-Jones: With hopes fading a quest undertaken. One to undo a legacy of betrayal. Elsewhere, immense creatures of terror become plans of utter domination. Fantastic sequel! Old school fantasy rich with devastating history. Great build to an amazing finish!

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Story
Never thought of myself wanting one woman. But there she is, and she’s unlike any other. I had her in my bed once, but then I screwed up. She’s stubborn and refuses to listen to reason. She’s also a fighter. When things happen and I find she’s not exactly who she claims to be, I have to make things right before it's too late. Even if it means getting down and dirty to do it. I’ve no problem getting bloody if it means she survives what’s to come.

Like many girls, I too used to dream of fairytales. Until that illusion was shattered, and I saw firsthand just how cruel life could be. Now I just wished my nightmare would end. The life I knew ceased to exist as I suffered at the hands of my stepmother, who hated me. I fought to escape and once I did, I thought life would become normal again, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Tragedy was woven in my bloodstream, hiding in my DNA structure. I had a sliver of peace before it all went to hell again.

The Fall of the Giants
The Fall of the Giants is the second book in The Dance of Light series. I really liked that this book had a recap for book one. I enjoyed continuing Elliott's story.
Guy Barnes did a great job narrating this book.

Second in the series!
Another good book by this author. Its the second in the series and gives a short rundown of what happened in the first book before starting. This continues the epic journey of Elliott and is filled with more mythical creatures, magic and midevil lore. This is a wonderful fantasy story that has a nice mix of mythology with a game of Thrones vibe. I liked all the action, suspense and basically the journey. I listened to this on audio. Guy Barnes is the narrator who does an amazing job with all kinds of vocals for the plethora of characters.

Book two
This was the second book I've read/listened to by Gregory Kontaxis. This appears to be his second book of his planned pentalogy. I loved the medieval aspect of this book. The fantasy aspect seemed larger than the last book, and continues to stretch my imagination. There was A LOT of yelling and screaming proclamations that would pull me out of the story. This book was more depressing. I still look forward to the next audiobook to see what happens next.
Guy Barnes is an great narrator. He had a huge cast to voice. While some may not be my favorite, I have great respect for his talent.
