Ritual of Ruin

King's Dark Tidings, Book 7

By: Kel Kade

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

Rezkin lives—a secret known only to a chosen few.

Now, Azeria is one of them. Joining forces, they avoid discovery while seeking the power to stand against Caydean's demons. A tale of ancient technology draws them to the land of a forgotten people. Can the secret treasure of the infamous Demon War help the rebels turn the tide?

Wesson is determined to find a way to free Caydean's mages of their oaths. He steps onto a dark path in his bid to free the enslaved, but will the results justify the means? His soul is at stake as he walks the line between savior and executioner.

More people fill the streets of Kaibain than anyone thought possible, but why? Caydean has drawn the entire kingdom to his doorstep, where the demonic king prepares a weapon of untold power. His plan will end with his ascension…and humanity's destruction. From the shadows, Rezkin has hunted the king's allies, he has plotted to unify the shattered alliance, and now is the hour of his return. The master assassin, the true king, Emperor of the Souelian, stands as the people's last hope.

Seemed Short

I love this series overall, but it's a long time between each book and this one was much anticipated but it seemed to have ended sooner than it could to make at least one more book.

I feel like the series should wrap up soon, and that other books by Kel Kade can be focused on. I really liked Wesson's storyline and the Mage of no Renown was such a great book that I wanted more of that.

I guess we'll be waiting several more years for book 8 of this series. Maybe I'll finally forget about it and just not care about the ending anymore.

Dwarfs Dwarfs Dwarfs

I am very glad my favorite race is now in the fun. And I am also glad this series is not yet finished.

Great, as always!

But that ending…I can’t wait for the next one. It was a great listen!

Best one yet

What a great book, can’t wait to read the next book. This one was way better than the last one

a nice return

great return from the less than stellar book 6. it leaves you wanting book 8.
