Beasts of War

By: Ayana Gray

Narrated by: Benjamin Charles, Keylor Leigh, Alexander Cantrell

In this epic conclusion to her New York Times bestselling series, Ayana Gray delivers a heart-pounding fantasy adventure filled with mythos, monsters, and mortal heroes who are astoundingly human.

Once a prisoner to Fedu, the vengeful god of death, Koffi has regained her freedom, but she is far from safe. Fedu will stop at nothing to hunt her down and use her power to decimate the mortal world. Koffi knows when Fedu will strike: during the next Bonding, a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event. To survive, Koffi will have to find powerful new allies quickly, and convince them to help her in the terrible battle to come.

Once a warrior-turned-runaway, Ekon has carved out a new life for himself outside Lkossa, but the shadows of his past still haunt him. Now, alongside unexpected friends, Ekon tries to focus on getting Koffi to the Kusonga Plains before the next Bonding. If he fails, Koffi will be consumed, either by her own dangerous power, or the terrible fate Ekon is doing everything he can to prevent. Ekon devotes himself to protecting Koffi, but the lingering threats from his own past are more urgent than he knows.

As Koffi and Ekon race to the Kusonga Plains—and try to garner the help of Eshōza’s ancient gods along the way—they must face a slew of dangerous beasts old and new. In the end, destiny may unite Koffi and Ekon for the last time—or tear them apart for good.

Superb narration for a superb book

I loved everything about this last book in this amazing trilogy. The narration makes you fall in love with the characters (especially Ekon) that face so many interesting and breath-stopping adventures. The author really pulled out all the stops to provide a surprising and very satisfying ending to what has been a joy to read!

sad its over

i am hoping she writes more in this world!! dont want to spoil anything thing but so happy and sad with that ending

Enjoyed listening!

I enjoyed the story and its reference to African mythology and culture. I’ve read the other two books and I hope this can be made into film.

Freaking amazing!!

I ignored my TBR the moment BOW popped up. I loved everything about it! Ayana has me in a chokehold

What an ending!!!!

This book and series have left such a warm feeling inside my heart, I’ve grown so much to enjoy all the characters that played a part in this conclusion. The parts that I enjoy the most was how it was a non stop adventure that almost seemed impossible, but I mean anything is possible with Koffi and Ekon lol. I wish I could give this book more than just 5 stars it was a banger of a conclusion
