Publisher's summary

A deadly venom. A looming rebellion. A vicious siege. And the clock is ticking.

For sorcerer Nate Garrett, the stakes have risen. If Asgard falls, he may lose much more than his home - he may lose the thing dearest to him. To stand a fighting chance against Avalon, he must be ready to go to war. But when his best friend and father are poisoned, Nate must race against the clock in a desperate quest to find a cure.

Layla Cassidy is tasked with gaining the aid of the Valkyrie in Valhalla, but once there, she finds herself involved in another rebellion and must pick a side.

Meanwhile, Mordred finds himself on a hunt for Excalibur, a weapon of incredible power that would aid the rebellion in their fight against Arthur and his allies. But to retrieve it, Mordred must face uncomfortable truths about himself.

War looms over the rebellion, and the battle for Asgard is at hand. Time is running out as Avalon's forces threaten total destruction. But Nate can't be in two places at once. Can he find the cure, and can he, Layla, and Mordred save the realms before it’s too late?

This series continues to excite and make me laugh

Steve McHugh's character development and interaction are top of the game. The only problem I have is I want the next book in the series right now!

sooo worth the wait!!!

i love Everything about this series! throughout, ive laughed, cried and been genuinely moved. props to mr mchugh and his narrators=))
💗💗💗

... another thought ... you know how when a series that's gripped you, that you've Loved the Entire way thru, ends, and you're left with that feeling of emptiness, of feeling bereft, and wondering what to read/listen to next bc nothing could Possibly compare??

well, i know i only just finished this one last night, And that there's a new book waiting for me in (very) far off December, but That is how i feel today. i can't stop thinking about Nate and co. and how they will stick with me long after today, and how December feels like an unattainable future ...

on the bright side! when December finally Does roll up and im hating life bc it's, yes, December, i will then restart this series from book one and listen all the way thru Again, until i reach the long-awaited Horsemen's War, and go thru these feelings all over again. it will be well worth it!

Tone of story is quite different from the start

There were way too many narrators in this book, and the inflection took a lot away from the story. I’ve been kind of disappointed that character development has been put on hold and there have only been awkward flips between pointless fillers and action/story. It’s a bit jarring. I hope the next book gets better, I’ve absolutely loved every book in the series up until this and the last book.

Progressively becoming bleh

Not as great as the first few books. Enjoyed hearing about the characters again however just lacked the twists turns and quality writing of the first 4-5.

Showdown of the gods

at least 2 big battles, heros and villains die. Excited to continue this saga. You will find yourself rooting for these characters. fun read.

Nate, Odin and More...total excitement!

Hera is trying to kill as many of the "children" as she can. A great deal of action with Mordred and Nate. Odin also had a big part. Interesting plot, quick and intense pace! Love the characters! Some losses occur😑, some twists, and good things develop. Loved it.
Love all the narrators! Preordered the next book!

Nail bitter!

From character development to plot twist this book kept had me biting my nails at every turn. I truly enjoy seeing the evolution of these characters from both series merge and work together. Excellent writing. I can not wait for the next book. The very much anticipated battle!

Story progression. Multiple authors can be jarring

Good story, love the authors work. I will have to listen again because the multi-author approach threw me. I'm used to certain voices for the characters, especially Mordred and didn't get that here. Defiantly messed with me. First time listening to the books before reading them first so that may have caused issues as well. Definite buy, just be prepared for the different voices. Narrators were great, it was just different.

great series

absolutely loved this book and the series. highly recommend to anyone who is into gods and mythical creatures or the old tails.

performance

Elizabeth is a horrible narrator. she is more of a disembodied ghoul than a storyteller. Shaun did well, much better than Simon.
