About this listen

Rich in magic and adventure, Michael J. Sullivan’s soaring fantasy novels are masterworks of heroism, love, and sacrifice. Now, in the New York Times best-selling Age of War, the epic battle between humankind and the cruel godlike beings who once ruled them finally ignites in all its fury.

The alliance of humans and renegade Fhrey is fragile - and about to be tested as never before. Persephone keeps the human clans from turning on one another through her iron will and a compassionate heart. The arrogant Fhrey are barely held in check by their leader, Nyphron, who seeks to advance his own nefarious agenda through a loveless marriage that will result in the betrayal of the person Persephone loves most: Raithe, the God Killer.

As the Fhrey overlords marshal their army and sorcerers to crush the rebellion, old loyalties will be challenged while fresh conspiracies will threaten to undo all that Persephone has accomplished. In the darkest hour, when hope is all but lost, new heroes will rise...but at what terrible cost?

the siege is on and it's a good one!

It's all-out war and our most beloved characters are sorely tested - you'll laugh and you'll cry but maybe do more of the latter! There are more heartbreaking moments (hint "even now") and as a reader, you'll wonder why our favorite mystic has to continue to take such a beating. This series is GREAT - super writing and narration- onto book 4!

Full of revelations, and cuts to the core.

This isn’t a happy story to be sure, but it is a emotionally satisfying one. At times I had to take a break in listening, just to absorb what happened and reflect on the emotional gut punch delivered.

But does it deliver? Oh boy it does.

Excellent, but so sad

These books create an amazing world, but keep making me cry. Such great characters, makes it a blessing and a curse!

Wow

I thought the last book was fantastic but this one has eclipsed even that. I found it very moving, very emotional. So many times it made me angry, sad and even to cry. I have read books that made me sad but this one brought out depths of sadness and tears that only great writing can ever really do. The battles are vivid as are the machinations of people. I truly cannot recommend this series highly enough. I found this author by taking up a free book so thank you both to audible and the author. I also must add that the narrator does a brilliant job executing the different voices and reading with great depth of feeling. All round a wonderful book full of warmth, rare emotion and a fantastic tale to boot. Listen you won’t be disappointed.
