About this listen

Seal of the Worm is the tenth and final book in the critically acclaimed epic fantasy series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

An ancient enemy stirs once more....

The Empire has vanquished its enemies at last, but at a terrible price. With her chief rival cast into the abyss, Empress Seda must face the truth of what she’s unleashed in her hunger for power. Now the Seal has been shattered, the ancient Worm stirs towards the light for the first time in a thousand years. Already it is striking at the surface, consuming everything in its voracious path. Unchecked, it will ravage the world.

As her victory seems hollow indeed, Seda knows that only the most extreme solution can lock the Worm in the dark once more. But if she’ll go to such horrific lengths to save them all from the Worm, who’ll save the world from her?

Start the epic journey with Empire in Black and Gold, the first book in the Shadows of the Apt series.

Truly a masterpiece.

A gripping, emotionally and fitting end to the shadows of the apt. I can't wait to see Adrian's next works.

Unbelievably Good

I have loved every book in this series, it's truly is a masterpiece, this book still stood out as particularly special and wrapped the story up in a unique and fitting way. it was unpredictable and original.

I am in awe of Tchaikovsky and amazed at the performance by Ben Allan.
somehow Allen is able to do 7-8 Accents in both male and female tones making it a really easy listen as you always know who is talking to whom.

thank you so much.

Now that I'm finished, I will miss this Series like a dear friend.

Fell in love with this series

I fell in love with loveable characters, even the villains. A large world full of mystique and brimming with politics, lore, action and intrigue. Gripped and am in silent awe of Tchaikovsky's story telling. The performance of Ben Allen was excellent, able to capture characters with effortless transition between tone and accent. am already missing the series as I write this review. I wonder if more from this world will come.

It's over

What a great conclusion to the Shadow of the Apt series. As with the previous 9 books the story and the narrator are fantastic.
The only downside is that this is the last and final book. I'd wish for more stories from the world of the apt.
