The Fatemarked Epic, Book 2

By: David Estes

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

The Hundred Years War rages on, with tensions between kingdoms growing ever more strained.

While Annise Gäric and her forces march on Castle Hill to retake the northern throne, her cousin, Rhea Loren, wages a naval war against Blackstone. Meanwhile, Roan Loren and Gwendolyn Storm struggle to breach the gnarled, vine-choked undergrowth of the Tangle in their quest to reach Knight's End and learn more of the true purpose of the fatemarked.

In the south, a Calypsian empress is murdered, and her daughters fight to claim the empire and wage a civil war against their estranged father's armies. In Phanes, slavery runs rampant while a rebel group fights to free the oppressed people. A master named Jai Jiroux looks to help the rebel cause, an act of treason punishable by death.

Surrounding the Four Kingdoms is the pall cast by the Kings' Bane, who continues his quest to kill eight rulers and thus fulfill the Western Oracle's ancient prophecy, which he believes will pave to way to peace across the realms.

Love this series!

Great series! I recommend this series to any fantasy book fans. So hard to stop listening!

Incredible

This series (only through book 4), is the perfection of a fantasy and medieval nexus. Digestible, absurdly effective character development, a unique fantasy perspective, and yet it never really overly taxes the imagination. Also love the recaps at the start of every book. Tied for best fantasy series ever for me with Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Shadow of the Apt and the Red Sister series by Mark Lawrence. As close to perfection as it gets.

awesome story / series!

Love these books! So interesting and captivating and just don't want to put it down!!

Amazing book!

Must Read for fans of Game of Thrones! All characters have so many layers and you root for them even if they aren't heroes because nobody is that black and white. Everyone has shades of grey.

opinions aren't reviews

For all the people who say that this is "woke garbage" just ignore them completely. 90% of the time they stain the reviews just because they personally didn't enjoy the taste of the book. If you didn't like the book, don't bring your ideals into the review section, if you have a problem with bisexuality, then don't waste your breathe on raining on someone's parade.

it is an amazing book and I highly recommend it.
