Publisher's Summary

Ignas Corvinus, ruler of Vlachia, has been captured by his worst enemies. A puppet ruler has been installed to lead the most powerful nation in Archemi, and he's doing his best to blame Hector Park, his dragon Karalti, and their allies for the world's problems.

Hector has only two words for him: They start with F and end with "you".

In the ongoing war between Archemi and the forces of the Void, the battle for the soul and throne of Vlachia is crucial. With one powerful nation recently conquered and the other being corrupted from within, the world's fate hinges on Hector leading his adopted homeland back from the brink—and perhaps playing a greater role in its future than he ever believed possible.

Join Hector and Karalti on this epic Final Fantasy-style LitRPG adventure, in which the heroes find love, triumph, and struggle against overwhelming odds in the battle to save their world. May contain creative swearing, military humor, and excessive dragons.

Arguably the best one yet

With satisfying payoffs and story, and excellent performances by the Soundbooth team, the Crowned In Black audio book is an exemplary example of audio books done right. James Osiris has smashed out another banger in his enthralling Archemi series. Blending sci-fi, fantasy and gaming mechanics around the struggle of surviving on a digital arc at jeopardy from its own imperfect systems, James Osiris has created some of the best stories in the LitRPG genre. And I'd argue Crowned in Black is the best one yet with payoffs from the previous installments coming to a head in this volume. With it safely in the hands of Soundbooth, they've elevated James' tale. Excellent work and a most enjoyable listening experience.

10/10

James and the narration team has done it again! Another great book full of humour, drama and action. Also has a great soundtrack to intensify the story. I highly recommend all of the Archemi online series.
