The Virtue of Malice

The Fallen Virtues Trilogy

By: M.A. McCrackin

Narrated by: Nicky Griffiths

Length: 26 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's summary

Windshyr is considered cursed. A prize that no one else wanted. For Elise, the shrouded lands could be the answer to all her problems.

Alex has found new allies to capture her. Annwyn is growing even more restless and impatient, and the Church of Alba is even more determined to see her burn after she saved James from their ambush. All will have to be dealt with, but first she must secure her place in Morovia.

All her hopes and promises rest on a broken castle shrouded by a dark ritual. If she can break the ritual, she can stop Annwyn before the Avatar is free. If she can restore Windshry, she can bring Morovia back to prosperity. If she can gain the respect of the brutal Morovian council, then she can protect everyone she loves.

Most think her mad, many think she is a foolish little girl, but with an army of shrouded at her command and more magic in her hands than the world has seen since the War of the Ancients Elise will prove them all wrong.

Loved the book

Loved the book and how the author put so much detail into it it was like I could picture it taking place can’t wait for more books and would love to see it come to life in a movie

Captivating Conclusion

A mesmerizing conclusion to an epic trilogy that will keep you captivated for nearly 27 hours! Do not let the length intimidate you away from this book. The writing grips you from the first chapter and refuses to let go until the very end. The narrator remains as enchanting and immersive as in the previous installments. Their skillful delivery brings the story to life, making it difficult to hit pause even for a moment. The depth of the characters, especially Elise, is remarkably rich in this last book. However, that did make me feel a myriad of emotions throughout since I became so invested in the characters. And just when you think you know how things will go and start to get comfortable, unexpected twists and turns take you by surprise. The ending left me feeling wistful as the journey came to a close. I find myself ready to start this trilogy all over again (which is rare for me). This series is truly a hidden gem!

Satisfying conclusion

Don’t be deterred by the length of this audiobook. Every minute is worth it!

Elise endures many more trials during this book. The twist interns made it hard to see where it would end. The suspense made it easy to devour this book!

*STILL* obsessed.

I've listened to the first two books in this trilogy repeatedly, and was absolutely extatic to see this one available. It did not dissapoint!

I hope to see the author and narrator work together more in the future.

Wonderfully Written

This story is so captivating, I have listened to this last book 3 times AFTER listening to the first 2 over again. I hope there is more to come. I would be devastated if it ended. THANK YOU MCCRACKEN for another escape to a refreshing story that kept me guessing but fell into place perfectly.

worth the wait!

it took me a bit to get back into the story..but im so glad I listened all the way thru! Don't let the length detur you..a very strong and unexpected ending..cant wait for the next book!!
