Publisher's summary

Ryn has fallen. Ester could be dying. Bonner is too far away to help.

No matter how Declan Idrys looks at his situation, he comes to the same conclusion every time: He is about to die at the hands of the first dark elf seen in 700 years. Fate, fortunately, is not so cruel, though, and after barely surviving this initial encounter with the er’endehn of Eserysh, Declan and his friends find themselves in a tentative truce with the war-loving elves. They share a common enemy, after all, and their mutual hate for the Endless Queen and her growing legions is enough for the two groups to set aside their mistrust for one another, if only for now.

Sehranya, however, is not one to rest easy while her enemies join forces, and Declan and his companions soon find themselves assaulted by new horrors as they set out to make at last for the legendary city of Ysenden in truth.

But the queen has made a mistake. Within Declan the slumbering might of his line is at last stirring, prodded into life by the guiding hands of Bonner yr’Essel. Fire. Power. Strength. Sehranya will rue the day she did not throw everything she had into slaying the one of King’s blood....

Let award-winning voice artist Nick Podehl capture your imagination as you dive into the much-anticipated next installment of The Shattered Reigns, a best-selling fantasy series written by two authors at the top of their game.

Declan Idrys

when Declan said "I need to get high" I felt that, great book can't wait for the next

wow

I am very impressed with the series. great storyline. I definitely love the reader. he can do a variety of voices and accents. It amazes me how much action and before I know it the book is over..It sucks waiting for the next book.

Great continuation from the first book!

I loved it and had no problem whatsoever with finishing it. Nick's narration is a perfect fit for all the characters. Best part was Orsek (spelling) jumping around being cheerful

Overall a very good story well written with an excellent performance

It took me a while to get around this book serious but I’m glad I did, I was pleased to discover that while I was able to predict some things I was still taken by surprise On them as I figured it out. Immensely pleased with this Siri so far and as always I cannot express my gratitude to Nick For his excellent performance narrating as usual.

the book of foreshadowing

still excellent both books worth a listen. however i felt this one was a bit lacking compared to the first it did go further into backstories and setup for amazing things to come but i feel could have been more if not longer than just less filler/lore or repetitiveness. but still great work and cant wait for the next

Great book

I really liked the first and now the second installment of this series now I’m wondering how long do I have to wait for the next book

fantastic second book

A fantastic second book to this series. It broke away from much of the formulaic mechanisms of the first book to tell a unique and interesting story. Perhaps the first book was just a lot of world building.

great story

I am really enjoying the story so far. the narration is very well done.

OK

Declan is a career soldier with all these crazy experiences and he doesnt know about hand and arm signals?? Thats a stupid thing to be annoyed about but that made me stop listening.
