Heavy Lies the Crown

The Scalussen Chronicles, Book 2

By: Ben Galley

Narrated by: Matthew Lloyd Davies

To save the world, first you have to survive it.

The battle for freedom has left Emaneska reeling and desolated. Both Scalussen and Arka are scattered to the winds. With the Blazing Throne now empty and the Arka Empire for the taking, the race to claim Emaneska has begun.

Farden and Mithrid have been stranded alone in strange eastern lands by errant magick. They battle not to return home, but to uncover an ancient weapon capable of defeating a god. A god who desires nothing but chaos.

In Emaneska, the survivors of the Rogue’s Armada search for safer havens, something rare and lacking in the uncharted waters of the south.

Treachery and pain await them both, but the price of failure is steeper. New enemies lie in wait on those foreign paths. Dark creatures born of nightmares and forgotten powers. Warlords set on mastering magick. And an old threat reborn, doggedly pursuing one fate: the death of Farden.

Amazing series

This series has renewed my love of fantasy and reading. Great story, world, and characters. The change in narrators threw me off at times but both readers still performed excellently.

Love

I hope that there is more to the story! I have listened to all seven of the books so far. Thank you for the fun evenings.

Not a typical MC story

This one is more diverse in terms of who is the main character than the first one. The girl main character came to power too fast and was not developed properly, however... this is a fun book to read.

Enthralled

I loved this book and all the others by this author. Addictive and completely unexpected plots, twists, and storyline. Character's that are so vivid in their emotion and personality. You know the goal in the story, but the path is more twisted than you can ever expect. Great narrator as well.

Awesome read

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator really keep me engaged. I am planning to read the next book of the series. I will keep you posted.
