The epic battle between humankind and their godlike rulers finally ignites in the masterful follow-up to Age of Myth and Age of Swords.

The alliance of humans and renegade Fhrey is fragile—and about to be tested as never before. Persephone keeps the human clans from turning on one another through her iron will and a compassionate heart. The arrogant Fhrey are barely held in check by their leader, Nyphron, who seeks to advance his own nefarious agenda through a loveless marriage that will result in the betrayal of the person Persephone loves most: Raithe, the God Killer.

As the Fhrey overlords marshal their army and sorcerers to crush the rebellion, old loyalties will be challenged while fresh conspiracies will threaten to undo all that Persephone has accomplished. In the darkest hour, when hope is all but lost, new heroes will rise ... but at what terrible cost?

It's all-out war and our most beloved characters are sorely tested - you'll laugh and you'll cry but maybe do more of the latter! There are more heartbreaking moments (hint "even now") and as a reader, you'll wonder why our favorite mystic has to continue to take such a beating. This series is GREAT - super writing and narration- onto book 4!

the siege is on and it's a good one!

Honestly a solid 5 star review this story is excellent, I love the characters and the plot and the narrator
The female characters are written so well, it’s everything I felt wheel of time was missing,

*spoiler alert past this point*
That being said, I’m so annoyed about the end, I wasn’t ready for that to happen to my man man and with zero closure
I’m 2/3 way through the 4th book and I’m still so frustrated about it - if you know you know, if you don’t… well hopefully I didn’t make it obvious but I did say spoiler alert so that’s on you really.

They really wrong the best character of the book and the way it was drawn out was soooo much worse, I felt like I was there living it, you know it’s a great book when it disrupts your daily life after you’ve finished

Loving the story but I’m still mad
