About this listen

Dark secrets and forbidden love threaten the very survival of the Shadowhunters in Cassandra Clare’s Queen of Air and Darkness, the final novel in the number one New York Times and USA Today best-selling The Dark Artifices trilogy. Queen of Air and Darkness is a Shadowhunters novel.

What if damnation is the price of true love?

Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to Los Angeles, seeking to discover the source of the disease that is destroying the race of warlocks. Meanwhile, Julian and Emma take desperate measures to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. What they find in the Courts is a secret that may tear the Shadow World asunder and open a dark path into a future they could never have imagined. Caught in a race against time, Emma and Julian must save the world of Shadowhunters before the deadly power of the parabatai curse destroys them and everyone they love.

***Brilliant story***

Another unputdownable book from Cassandra Clare who gave us the best selling series the mortal instruments. I didn't think she can write any better but I was wrong, this book is absolutely brilliant and the world building is amazing that I feel like a part of this fantastical world she created. James Masters in his narrative is mesmerising it hypnotized you and sucked you into this magical world of angels, nephilims shadow hunters and under worlders. It's absolute delight to listen to him and I do hope that more books are in the works for this series.

James Marsters should read every book

James has such a lovely voice and really brought the story to life. I enjoyed the book even more because of his narration.

Wow Fantastic

It took a while to get to the main part of the story then it was off and running. Very complete in storyline and finished strongly. Things happened that you didn’t expect. Great book.

Can't wait for what's next

I have always loved Cassandra's work and throughout the years I've come back and back again. I love this magical world so much, I love these characters like I love my friends and family as cliche as it sounds. This book was beyond amazing and the narration was perfect. Can't wait for what's next!

Will there be another book?

So many unanswered questions at the end of this book and so many more stories to tell. I hope there will be more. Once again James Marsters narrates masterfully (pun intended), I could listen to him read forever. The character voices are perfect and I love that I know who is talking just by the sound of the voice. Narrating is an art form and James Marsters is an unparalleled expert
