About this listen

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

The fourth book in the million-copy bestselling Kingfountain series from Jeff Wheeler.

Following the downfall of a tyrant, years have passed in prosperity for the kingdom of Ceredigion. Now, as the time comes to celebrate the new king’s nuptials, the specter of a new enemy emerges to destroy all that has been painstakingly built in those years.

Tryneowy Kiskaddon has grown up learning military and diplomatic strategy from her father, one of the king’s closest advisors. She feels her destiny lies in defending the kingdom as a knight, not as a Wizr as her parents have decided, though no lady of the realm has taken up the sword in a century. As she seeks to understand her own Fountain-blessed powers, she studies in the tradition of her mother while training in secret and closely following the realm’s politics, alarmed by her mother’s vision of an impending clash and a devastating future.

But the pieces on fate’s game board are in motion, and on the eve of battle, a threatening force irrevocably changes the future of the kingdom and her own. Does Trynne have what it takes to maneuver Ceredigion’s key players into position and outsmart the kingdom’s enemies - even those still concealed in shadow?

The next gen

In the fourth book of the King’s Fountain series we are introduced to the next generation. Battle, deception, bickering, unrequited love, and self sacrifice abound in this book. Very entertaining story. I recommend though that listeners/readers start with book 1. Kate Rudd did an excellent job narrating!

Great!

I think it gets better with each book. Thieves and wicked people seem to always exist. Magic and Knight are good but an honor code with valour are even better. They also always win in the end.

Great story. Interesting characters. So-so narrator.

I've read all of Jeff Wheelers books so far and Kingfountain has been the best so far, and the Hollow Crown is a wonderful addition to the world.
My only complaints are the narrator's lack of voice variety. Many of her characters sound identical, and compared to many of the other narrators I've listened to, she just doesn't quite measure up. Admittedly, there is a fairly full cast of characters that she has to voice.

The next generation; Arthurian influences

While still in the same series, this book starts another trilogy following Owen's daughter into the next generation of intrigue and machination!

It's possible to see the influence of the King Arthur legend in the story, and that makes it all the more enjoyable.

The writer has very visibly improved his craft, comparing to the first book in the series or to the Muirwood series - which is also excellent.

Kate Rudd keeps on being awesome!

On to the next generation!

A new set of characters, and I can't help but feel like these characters are the ones that Wheeler had in mind when he began the series. The original cast from the first 3 books are still around, but this book starts the story of the next generation. Such fantastic writing. A fabulous world created here, and the story line is just beautiful. Truly one of the best fantasy series I have ever read...whether written for teen audiences or not!

Never a dull moment!

Never a dull moment in these stories, never a time when I am waiting for the next intrigue. Adventure, mystery, impressive inner dialogue that consumes the reader into the character's thoughts... it begins with a thought...

My favorite author.

Jeff Wheeler is an outstanding storyteller. He writes fantasy but because of his writing style it is also believable.
I love the voice of the reader. She has great inflection & does all of the voices of the characters. She is easy & fun to listen to.
