The Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Kingfountain series conjures an epic, adventurous world of ancient myth and magic as a young woman’s battle with infinite evil begins.
Survivor of a combat school, the orphaned Bingmei belongs to a band of mercenaries employed by a local ruler. Now the nobleman, and collector of rare artifacts, has entrusted Bingmei and the skilled team with a treacherous assignment: brave the wilderness’s dangers to retrieve the treasures of a lost palace buried in a glacier valley. But upsetting its tombs has a price.
Echion, emperor of the Grave Kingdom, ruler of darkness, Dragon of Night, has long been entombed. Now Bingmei has unwittingly awakened him and is answerable to a legendary prophecy. Destroying the dark lord before he reclaims the kingdoms of the living is her inherited mission. Killing Bingmei before she fulfills it is Echion’s.
Thrust unprepared into the role of savior, urged on by a renegade prince, and possessing a magic that is her destiny, Bingmei knows what she must do. But what must she risk to honor her ancestors? Bingmei’s fateful choice is one that neither her friends nor her enemies can foretell, as Echion’s dark war for control unfolds.

Critic reviews
“Wheeler (Broken Veil) opens the Grave Kingdom series with this winding tale of valor and sacrifice, set in a realm where using magic summons a heavy fog that kills every living thing it touches. [T]he threat of the fog looming in the background adds atmosphere and tension.... This excellent introduction to the prolific Wheeler’s work will appeal to fans of Asian-influenced fantasy.” (Publishers Weekly)
“The unique cast of characters in a well-constructed world will appeal to readers of Terry Brooks and Orson Scott Card.” (Booklist)

The switch from Kate Rudd’s smooth, melodic voice to the new narrator’s breathy, melodramatic style is quit difficult to get used to. Her character voices, while animated, are a bit much - especially when transitioning directly from her dark, dramatic narration style. It’s a bit... jarring.
I’m going to give it my all in attempting to finish this book bc of my love for Jeff Wheeler’s writing style, but know that it will not be nearly as enjoyable and smooth as silk as the previous books. I wish I could say differently!
Difficult to listen to, unfortunately.

Good story; poor narration

I appreciate the switch to an Asian narrator for a story that is obviously inspired by that culture, but Ms. Zeller's breathy whisper voice just isn't doing it for me. The character voices are great, but the narration is duuuuulllllll.
I'm used to Jeff Wheeler's series being a bit of a nut where you have to break through the first bit to get to the good parts. I plan on finishing the series, but it's been a struggle so far
If I didn't love Jeff Wheeler's work so much...
