About this listen

 Finally, the knight Sparhawk had come to possess Bhelliom, legendary jewel of magic that alone could save Queen Ehlana from the deadly poison that had felled her father. Sparhawk and Sephrenia, ageless instructor in Styric magics, made haste to free Ehlana from the crystalline cocoon that had preserved her life while they desperately sought a cure.

But Bhellion carried dangers of its own. Once the stone came into his hands, Sparhawk found himself stalked by a dark, lurking menace. Whether the foul Zemoch god Azash was behind this threat, or some other enemy, even Sephrenia could not say - only that the sapphire rose held powers too dangerous for any mortal to bear.

Restoring Queen Ehlana would only be the beginning of Sparhawk's mission. With the aid of four stalwart knights, one from each Militant Order, he must thwart Ehlana's poisoner, the Primate Annias, in his plot to assume the throne of the Church. For, as Archprelate, Annias would serve his secret master, Azash, and deliver up to the dread god the one thing Azash thirsted for - Bhelliom itself!

Critic Reviews

"Eddings should satisfy his many fans with the final volume of his Elenium fantasy trilogy, an adroit mixture of the exalted and the mundane." ( Publishers Weekly)

Story is still great, even after this time. David Eddings adds just the right amount of humour and his characters are consistent, no WTF moments because the actions if a character di not make sense. They do interesting things that seem out of character but makes sense in the moment. Skill of a good author. Enjoyed the narrator also.

Stands the test of time

Great story by Eddings.
Although it takes a little while to get used to the narrator he grows on you. Some of the pronunciation is interesting / comical but he is consistent.

Another Great Eddings Fable

Great books by the master Eddings. The narrator constantly mispronounced words like Basalt, influence and even Roof and Hoof. It just detracts and you wonder what he was thinking.

Irritating pronunciation by the narrator
