About this listen

A new age begins in the Kingdom of Íseldur in this sizzling third installment of the Viking-inspired romantasy, The Ashen Series.

The lost Volsik heir has finally returned to the people of Íseldur, and even with the warrior who's captured her heart standing by her side, Silla's task is monumental. She must earn the loyalty of the northern jarls to drive Ivar Ironheart from the throne and restore peace in the kingdom. But the secret she guards vigilantly threatens to ruin all her plans: a shard of a god lives in her mind, twisting her thoughts and deeds to His will.

Meanwhile, held captive on the mysterious Isle of Zagadka, Saga Volsik fights to return to her sister in Íseldur. But when King Ivar sets his sights on the Zagadkians, she's forced to make an impossible choice: fight for the man who stole her—and is now hellbent on marrying her—or let the innocent people of his kingdom die.

As a poisonous mist threatens the realm, the sisters will delve into the unknowns of their magic to battle against evil. Return to the land of ice and fire, where a god awakens, a queen finds her power, and sisters must unite against the darkness threatening their realm.

I absolutely loved this book!! The Ashen series just keeps getting better and better. Only one criticism there was not nearly enough of Saga and Cass for my liking, I love these two. I could listen to a whole book just about them!!

Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Disclaimer you MUST read the novella roots of darkness first. This book is amazing but you need the back story of one of the characters to fully understand what is going on during one particular story arc.

This series is quickly becoming one of my favourites. There is a good balance of politics, drama, romance and character development. When one story arc gets annoying you listen on because the others carry the story.

I wanted more Cass and Saga and I can not believe I have to wait for the next book to get it.

Amazing story, amazing narration

I didn't think this series could get even better, especially after Kingdom of Claw, but I was wrong. This is a masterpiece.
The narration is amazing, and very immersive, such amazing pronunciation.
