Blade of Empire

The Dragon Prophecy, Book 2

By: Mercedes Lackey, James Mallory

Narrated by: Kate Rudd, Christopher Lane

USA Today and New York Times bestselling authors Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory continue The Dragon Prophecy, which began with Crown of Vengeance. Set in a masterful fantasy world filled with elves and demons, unicorns and goblins, and mages and warriors, Blade of Empire continues the legend of Vieliessar Farcarinon, the first High King.

As Vieliessar confronts the first waves of the forces of Darkness, her destined Bondmate, Runacar, leads a rag-tag group to war. For centuries, the Elves have hunted the Otherfolk - minotaurs, gryphons, dryads, and more - considering them beasts. But they have a complex society, Runacar discovers, and though he is an Elf, takes it as his mission to help them reclaim their lands from his former friends and allies.

The Dragon Prophecy is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, of love and loss, of sacrifice and salvation. And of the never-ending battle between Light and Dark.

Where is Bk 3?

I was excited to listen to the back story of the 2nd and 3rd trilogies that make up this world. I am dismayed and very disappointed the authors have neglected their fans so long in producing the 3rd book. Many fans have sought information and various media platforms are full of their bewilderment at the lack of response by Lackey & Mallory. I would suggest you hold off on books 1 & 2 because they have left us hanging at a very critical point in the story. The writing is as great as ever as well as the audio actors, which makes the lack of conclusion all the more disappointing.

Continuation of a great story

I have read the other two trilogies to this series. This set is my favorite of them. I was disappointed that it was shorter than the last and more so now that I'm done and have another year or two to wait for the final book.

However, I understand that while we're dealing with a lot of storylines, I wish there had been better delineation between them. I frequently lost track of who was talking when they switched between lines.

A welcome installment to this series.

My only issue is going to be waiting for the next book to come out.

Confusing

This book was not her best. Neither was the first one in this series. I found them very confusing. Don’t get me wrong I love her writing but these two didn’t make it.

EXCELLENT!!!

This was my first audio book and I loved it. Can't wait for book 3
