Publisher's summary

Let the world cower in fear, for the Dark Lord has returned!

My name is Robert Grailmont. Since I was young, I felt a call to serve, to be a respectable and dependable leader. But when my ambitions were derailed by corruption and greed, I found a new calling—one from another world.

"Dark Lord, we need you!"

Now I must take up the crown. Duskhaven, the land of my ancestors, was conquered and enslaved by Alruna, Goddess of Light. With the blessing of the Goddess of Night, I shall retake our land and bring forth Ascendant Queens, my lovers and avatars of darkness’ might.

This epic tome contains all three books in the Dark Lord’s Commands series. Dare you plunge into night eternal?

loved them

this collection of all 3 books in this series is awesome, I throughly enjoyed them

Love it

Renée Nolen does a great job! M.E.Throne, thanks for putting out an Omnibus of the series. 32 hours of non stop listening helps with those long drives.

human pokemon story

I do not understand why this theme is so popular among these writers, namly making the main character weak, not just in terms of physical power, but also in terms of intelligence, while i do not need the main character to be op, this like so many other books in this genre, the main character could be replaced by a wet paper tissue and you'd notice very little would change with the story

A great book and price

This is a steal with the amount of content included, all 3 book for a total of 32 hours. Mc is a honest politician until one day it goes bad for him and he gets transferred to another world. The women are older, around 30-40. It’s nice to see some diversity and they are well detailed. Has nice spicy bits and good plot, would definitely give this a go if you are still on the fence about it

amazing series

ME Thorne does wonderful world building.
the characters and motivations are compelling.
the lines are blurry and the spice is great.
for a credit is an amazing listen

A Great Series

This is such a great series. I am sorry that I bought this and put it off for so long. I look forward to treating other series

so glad to have the full story

I hate buying the single stories because I like to take in everything at once so this was a great option

5stars

Well done. Well narrated.  will be looking forward to the next from this author. Is worth a listen, give it a try.

Fantasy Story with Fantasy Logic

Some here have complained about the narrator's mispronunciation of fringe English words(true)...

But as for me? That wasn't an issue. People say words wrong all the time. Whatever.

I couldn't get past the fantastical premise, motivations, and characters.

MC has 1 hour to prepare to go to a new world and all they bring is... a suit and tie.
MC takes paragraphs of "inner dialogue" to explain mundane, seemingly pedantic details. We readers don't need an explanation on how to woo others(which this book doesn't do well explaining anyways).
MC uses the royal "we" often, for absolutely no reason.
Women just fall into his lap. They are a means to an end.
MC positions and postures, explaining these intricate political moves that are complete hogwash and don't work in real life.
MC doesn't TRULY struggle. Oh, the struggle is there. But it's manufactured.
MC tries to prove how down-to-earth he is but just comes across like a senile old man hesitant to lead.


Ultimately, I couldn't invest.
It felt like the author didn't know a thing about politics. Almost akin to an author who tries to write a military book, knows nothing about the military, and butchers the premise and execution.
Yeah... author knows nothing about politics. Or Charisma. It's glaringly obvious.

So, I returned it. But who knows?! It's a lot of book for just one credit. Give it a try yourself and if you found it as mediocre as I did, it's an easy 5 minutes to get your money back.

Pleasant surprise

As with many books in this genre, I found the beginning rather slow and had difficulty getting into it. However, I found the whole series very interesting had unpredictable, twists, and the end wrapped up very nicely.
