Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Length: 10 hrs and 53 mins

Publisher's summary

The stories of the Elder Empire are told in a unique way.

If you’ve already listened to the other companion novels in the Elder Empire, then you know how this works. If not, you may wish to seek out those books for an explanation of how these parallel stories interact. Once you’re ready to proceed, here’s a glimpse of the road ahead....

Calder has been declared Imperial Steward, the official successor to the Emperor. He leads the Empire from the throne, just as he has always wanted.

In their tombs, the Great Elders stir.

The crack in the sky becomes more alarming by the day, so Calder and his loyal Imperialist Guilds seek a truce with their Independent opponents.

Both sides know the Elders are the true enemy, but that does not make peace easy. Blood has been spilled already, trust is hard to come by, and the Guild Heads under Calder see him as little more than a figurehead.

For civilization to survive, Calder must take the lead and prove himself to allies and enemies alike.

But he is faced with an ancient Guild of spies and assassins led by the one woman who most wants him dead: Shera of the Gardeners.

In the shadows, a woman plots to prolong a war. On the seas, a man works to end it.

Dear mr. Wight

Please write more... I don’t care if it’s about picking lint out of your bellybutton or whatever it will probably still be awesome. I never thought I’d read someone who could compete with Brandon Sanderson but I was very very wrong. Thanks for sharing your imagination with the rest of us and taking our money. Don’t shut up and do take my money.

Ps Yay Ozrielle

wonderful!

loved it......lol.....kinda wonder if W. Wight went through a nasty divorce before writing this. anyway just like the Cradle series this one is a keeper

Honestly

After finishing this story I had to sit back and just think about the ending.
I had to think, damn not only was this the last book, but I should have listened to the others in-between these.
What a story, the character development was fantastic, seeing the boy grow to be the king, seeing him once run from a fight to diving head first into a battle.
This is a story I'll be talking about for some time, and I'll keep my fingers crossed another (if it hasn't been announced and I'm dumb for not seeing it) book comes out of the series.

such a great series

I loved listening to every minute of this series. I've listened to all 6 books and am now sad it's done

fantastic

this is just fantastic I love the whole story is tied to the cradle books .

An Exciting End

The story, characters, and world building is great as always. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last pages.

great final installment

reallynloves this book and series. cant wait for will to pick up this series again loved the ending

Great Series

Will Wight is a master storyteller. In a world that doesn’t understand itself he brings reality in the form of fantasy. The strength of the moral tales he tells are among the best on the market today.
Excellent narration

SHUFFLES

the only thing this book lacked in my opinion is more shuffles. great series though

It was a perfect story to listen to while cleaning the house and it didn’t matter if anybody overheard it

I didn’t mind that it would flashback and then come back to present time I didn’t really have trouble following that. I looked forward to listening to it but I could still hit the 30 seconds sleep timer and fall asleep without a problem so I really Appreciated that it was a good listen but not when I had to stay up all night to finish. It’s just the kind of action adventure drama type story that I like to listen to and the narrator did a great job too
