Publisher's Summary
The penultimate volume of the mighty Riftwar Cycle. War rages in Midkemia but behind the chaos there is disquieting evidence of dark forces at work. Jim Dasher’s usually infallible intelligence network has been cleverly dismantled; nowhere is safe. He feels that the world is coming apart at the seams and is helpless to protect his nation.
Quiet palace coups are underway in Roldem and Rillanon; and King Gregory of the Isles has yet to produce an heir. In each kingdom a single petty noble has risen from obscurity to threaten the throne.Lord Hal of Crydee and his great friend Ty Hawkins, champion swordsman of the Masters’ Court, are entrusted with the task of smuggling Princess Stephané and her lady-in-waiting, the lovely but mysterious Lady Gabriella, out of Roldem to a place of greater safety. But is there any safe haven to be found?
Meanwhile, Hal’s younger brothers Martin and Brendan are attempting to hold the strategic city of Ylith against an onslaught of Keshian Dog Soldiers, and a mysterious force from beneath the sea. The Kingdom might lose Crydee and recover; but if Ylith falls, all is lost.An unknown player appears to orchestrating these conflicts. Can Pug and the Conclave of Shadows track down this source before Midkemia is destroyed?

If you are following the story on audible, prepare for a bit of a bump in the ride.
So, the only issue i have is with the change in narrator. No slight intended to either voice narrator, but the difference between the two took me a while to overcome before i could settle back into the story.
Once I adjusted, great narration and story again. Feist is a master and this series his magnum opus. Really undervalued on audible.

what happened to Peter Joice?
performance is painful. love the series, so distracting with a poor performer. the performer is a poor substitute for Petr Joice who read the previous books in the series

This maybe an unfair review.
The book is great this is not a review of the work by Raymond.
While the narrator himself isn't bad at his job, he does NOT belong in this series. It is so disappointing and jarring to have a narrator switch in the middle (in this case the end) of a series. It makes it worse when things are not pronounced the same way, if this were the same even in that small way it would make it much more pleasant to listen to.

Good story but why change the Narrator
Great story but why change the Narrative, disappointed. Putting aside the major issue with the change of Narrator the book it Critical this close to the end the Riftwar Cycle.

Cannot continue listening...
Sadly the narrator is just not the same! Pronounces everything differently and talks so fast I had trouble keeping up. So back to reading I went, great story!! Loved every bit as always. Such a shame about the change in narrator I got so used to his soothing well enunciated timed just right voice!

Change in narrator = no immersion
I have reliving my favourite book series through audiobooks, and Peter Joyce has been along for the whole ride. Why, on the second last book of the whole series, is there a change in the narrator? Ignoring the different pronunciation which is jarring, the new narrator has no accents or emotion in his voice. No spirit at all.

A great series spoiled by voice change.
This series has been amazing to listen to over almost 20 books it’s just disappointing to change the narrator in the second to last book and lose all the unique voice acting done for every character Peter Joyce had done.
