About this listen

Rezkin's army has been defeated, and he is among the dead.

Rising in the shadows, Rezkin is free from the shackles of power. But the darkness is his home, and there he stalks his foes. His friends, alone and scattered, face the war with an empty throne.

Rumors of Rezkin's survival spawn hope and discord on the Souelian. Unable to put Rezkin to rest, Azeria chases answers. In the criminal underworld, she hunts the Raven, willing to extract the truth in blood.

In Lon Lerésh, Yserria and Malcius become entangled in a deadly game. Rezkin's absence has left the queen vulnerable, and the nobles vie for dominance. Beneath their intrigue and machinations, a sinister plot unfolds while an ancient magic hangs in the balance.

With his fledgling empire on the brink of collapse and Caydean reigning unchecked, Rezkin must be more than an emperor. He must become the Shadow Knight.

Never long enough!

My son and I have been listening to this series since he was a little boy. I think he has most of the books memorised as he has listened to them so many times! Nic Podel ( spelling?) the narrator does an amazing job of bringing all the characters, we know like family, to life. Although this book seems much shorter in terms of progression of the story it’s a return to the first trio of books that were just magical in terms of immersing the reader into Rezkin’s world.
The thing that worries me now, the TIME UNTILL the NEXT BOOK!!!!

An absolute great addition to the series with so much character building. My only complaint is that I have to wait for the next book.

Ahhhhhh

As with everyone of the KDT books, they leave you wishing it hadn't ended, and then immediately googling to try to find information on the next book's release.

good but short

I loved the return to the cloak and dagger of the first couple of books but was sad at the short length and lack of Tam content

Love it

I want more! There's times in this serious where it feels like certain subplots get sidelined for a book, but it still hits so good!

Completely awesome

No doubt about it, this was the best book in the series for a few books now. Maybe even third best after first and second books. The first part is a bit slow and isolated due to the nature of the story, but the second and third parts were excellent.

Kel Kade was in top form with the new format, which was more narrowly focused and allowed for better storytelling. The previous books since book 3 had a problem with too many characters and too much ground to cover. A certain change was made in this book that allowed Rezkin to be where he needed to be when he needed to be there. This made for a more consistent story that moves the plot forward and a better pace.

One of the major story arcs was wrapped up very nicely in the latter part, with major character development, and the entire final part was a compelling listen.

Nick Podehl was also back in top form with this one. A couple of the previous books had a problem with consistent character voices, especially for Rezkin. Podehl went back to his roots and brought the characters back to their original voices for this one, which made it all around better to listen to.

Overall, this book was a great return to form. I felt that Kel Kade really took her time to make sure this one was right. And I think she really had fun with the Lereshi story arc. Recommend to anyone that has read the series and was dubious about continuing. It’s a good book.
