About this listen

Finally, the knight Sparhawk had come to possess Bhelliom, legendary jewel of magic that alone could save Queen Ehlana from the deadly poison that had felled her father. Sparhawk and Sephrenia, ageless instructor in Styric magics, made haste to free Ehlana from the crystalline cocoon that had preserved her life while they desperately sought a cure.

But Bhellion carried dangers of its own. Once the stone came into his hands, Sparhawk found himself stalked by a dark, lurking menace. Whether the foul Zemoch god Azash was behind this threat, or some other enemy, even Sephrenia could not say - only that the sapphire rose held powers too dangerous for any mortal to bear.

Restoring Queen Ehlana would only be the beginning of Sparhawk's mission. With the aid of four stalwart knights, one from each Militant Order, he must thwart Ehlana's poisoner, the Primate Annias, in his plot to assume the throne of the Church. For, as Archprelate, Annias would serve his secret master, Azash, and deliver up to the dread god the one thing Azash thirsted for - Bhelliom itself!

Critic reviews

"Eddings should satisfy his many fans with the final volume of his Elenium fantasy trilogy, an adroit mixture of the exalted and the mundane." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great book food narration

great series and this narrator did an excellent job portraying the characters. I don't recommend the narrator in the following series after listening to this one though.

Great Book and Series...however

I loved the books, but very disappointed in the audio books. Ramshorn is not pronounced Ram Shorn. It should be pronounced Rams Horn. Maybe read the book before recording so you understand the context. Other words were also mispronounced. The character voice for Aphrael/Flute was very poor.

Again, lovely moving story.

What did you like best about this story?

There are plenty of things to like about this story. The thing I love the most is the feel of Eddings stories. They feel warm, loving, and comforting. Stories and characters you can go back to regularly and enjoy like long time friends.

Great story with an outstanding performance.

David Eddings... need I say more? Artfully read with some voice acting. I have thoroughly enjoyed this trip down memory lane.

Love Eddings

The story is wonderful and the narration is fine. The music however, is annoying and should be removed.

Mindbending

It tells it all in the end but do you know that there could be more always looking for the extra parts. something that could make me want to read more the authors books.

Enjoyable listen

Enjoyable series created by David Eddings, author of the Belgariad and Mallorean series of novels. Hopefully, Audible will obtain the trilogy to this series as well as the other two missing novels from the Belgariad world; Belgareth the Sorceror and Polgara the Sorceress to complete the world.
