The Echoes of Fate Will Not Be Forgotten. The Words Uttered a Thousand Years Ago Will Come to Pass, and a New Age Will Dawn....

War is set to ravage Illian. The elves sail from the east. The savage Darkakin rise from the south. Valanis, the dark elf, is finally free of his prison and eager to see his work finished. Only then will he be free of the gods who still haunt him.

A new hope rises in The Red Mountains. There, the last remaining dragons have been discovered. Gideon and Galanör, human and elf, will have to work together if they are to convince Adriel, the last of the Dragorn order, to intervene in the coming war.

Devoid of hope and unsure what road to take, Asher and his companions must decide what role they will play as the realm unravels into bloodshed. The only weapon known to rival Valanis' power is in a place the ranger has avoided for a long time, a place where, until now, neither man nor elf would dare to tread.

Civil war has shattered the empire in The Arid Lands as the slaves make their stand against the highborns. But, while revolution brews, a greater threat looms. As a thunderous cacophony of steel and savagery marches through The Undying Mountains, who will stand before this army of death....

Just as good as the first book and the way the characters and their relationships are written is just flawless. Great pacing, epic action, violent but in a non gratuitous way with a story that is compelling as it intertwines and developes with the characters. Excellent performance by Steven brand too. If you liked the way of kings (Brandon Sanderson) or the way of shadows (Brent Weeks) then you will love this series. The action of the night angel trilogy told with the eloquence of the storm light archive.

action packed with no drawn out scenes, sexy and clever, but warning for those with PTS, captivity and rape (not in detail but does shed light that is the ongoing fate of some characters) but I think it is important to clarify that for some, with this though she is a strong, fierce and a warrior of body and mind in character and it expresses this the whole time building up tension for her revenge and victory which helped softened the situation and add more depth to story.

great fantasy but may trigger some women

Great story, characters and narration. Up there with the best of epic fantasy such as the witcher, wheel of time, malazan empire

really good story

If you like a good action read, go no further than the Empire of Dirt, the second book in The Echoes Saga.
With all sorts of magical creatures, from Elves to dragons to Gods and monsters, and even a touch of romance. Asha and his friends come alive as they fight their way across a world in the turmoil of war in hopes of saving his people and that of his friends. I could not put this book down and shared myself between the ebook and the audio. What a brilliant writer. A well earned 5 stars.

An Exciting Read

Really enjoying the story and characters but the narrator really lets it down. At times it is difficult to tell which character is talking, they are all read with pretty much the same tone.

Great Story But…
