About this listen
The fourth novel of the galaxy-spanning Sun Eater series merges the best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe continues down a path that can only end in fire.
Hadrian Marlowe is trapped. For nearly a century, he has been a guest of the Emperor, forced into the role of advisor, a prisoner of his own legend. But the war is changing. Mankind is losing.
The Cielcin are spilling into human space from the fringes, picking their targets with cunning precision. The Great Prince Syriani Dorayaica is uniting their clans, forging them into an army and threat the likes of which mankind has never seen. And the Empire stands alone.
Now the Emperor has no choice but to give Hadrian Marlowe—once his favorite knight—one more impossible task: journey across the galaxy to the Lothrian Commonwealth and convince them to join the war. But not all is as it seems, and Hadrian's journey will take him far beyond the Empire, beyond the Commonwealth, impossibly deep behind enemy lines.

Love, betrayal, sacrifice, pain, devotion, courage and sorrow.
This feels like the moment where the Sun Water series crosses the threshold between madness and greatness, teetering on the edge of something transcendent. Love, betrayal, sacrifice, pain, devotion, courage and sorrow converge in a high fantasy sci-fi hybrid that weaves technology and quantum magic into something uniquely haunting.
This fourth entry steps away from the action and grandeur of its predecessors to excavate the moral fabric of Hadrian himself, laying bare the beautiful fragility of the human condition. The reader descends alongside him through a pit of depression and despair, witnessing how even heroes can break under the weight of impossible choices. Yet from this darkness emerges sacrifice of the highest order—a surrender that transforms both character and story.
What follows is a dawning after the darkest night, where Hadrian's journey through suffering becomes something almost sacred. The book asks whether we can remain human while wielding power that transcends humanity, and whether love can survive when duty demands everything.
Beautiful, haunting and deeply emotive, this is essential reading for anyone who believes fantasy can explore the deepest truths of what it means to be human. Readers seeking pure escapism should look elsewhere—this book demands your heart.

Loved it
The new narrator was a bit jarring but I did get used to it.
This journey just keeps on giving.

Hauntingly Beautful and horrifically amazing.
I’ve never read anything like it, simply gut wrenching and wonderful all at once, a truly incredible story of heartbreak, loss, despair and of course the most important, hope.
