Publisher's Summary

Avalon St. Andrews has endured Hell and war in an attempt to secure freedom and immortality for his people. Raised and conditioned to be both warrior and leader, he now sits on a throne with his sister Eden, governing the Kingdom in peace. While his people enjoy the benefits of his struggle and loss, he is restless, bored and alone.

Avalon is summoned to fight in order to save his people once more as the Kingdom is threatened by a brand new evil. In addition to reigning in a kingship he doesn't want, he is fighting against the very people he has fought so hard to protect. They are determined to throw away their newfound freedom and their newfound leaders.

In this war and in this kingship he feels alone. And for the first time he feels hollow. That is until Amelia Cartier shows up, invading his every thought and shaking up his carefully controlled world.

Now he faces yet another battle - making Amelia his queen.

wrong narrator

I struggled to finish this book as the Narrator made his voice feel so false. Should have stayed with the Narrator of the first four books. Not sure I could listen to him again.

Narrator is not good

The narrator somehow drags everything out, like they are somehow reading in slow motion and every word with the letter P and B in it is like nails on a chalkboard like he spits it out. I am only at chapter 6 and don’t know if I can make it to the end at this point.
