About this listen

Each culture has its own myths and legends, but only one is shared, and it is feared by all.

With Age of Myth, Age of Swords, and the New York Times best-selling Age of War, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan riveted fans with a tale of unlikely heroes locked in a desperate battle to save humankind. After years of warfare, humanity has gained the upper hand and has pushed the Fhrey to the edge of their homeland, but no farther. Now comes the pivotal moment.

Persephone’s plan to use the stalemate to seek peace is destroyed by an unexpected betrayal that threatens to hand victory to her enemy and leaves a loved one in peril. Humanity’s only hope lies in the legend of a witch, a forgotten song, and a simple garden door.

Slow to build up and then accelerates to the end

I am a fan of the Ryria Chronicles and the Ryria Revelations. I got into the Legend of the First Empire and the fourth book was a rollercoaster. It took time to build momentum but once the plot was secured, it hurtled towards the next level. This book has gone into a more spiritual level and the next book will be a deep dive into this area. The character development here is brilliant and each character has been given its shade of grey. The narration is brilliant and helps build the atmosphere in the swamp and between the worlds. Two books left in the series and I am sure I will race through them

very short book compared to the others...

the story wasn't progressed greatly and it was surprisingly short for a book that's taken a while to appear. The writing is of the same standard as ever so that's a plus, but I really wanted more from this book. I supposed I'll just have to wait for the next installment!

Had me entranced

I love how Michael J Sullivan writes his books. The characters are so vivid and real, and I honestly was so invested in every chapter. Absolutely brilliant and well read by the narrator.

Tissues and eye-rolls

I’ve eye-rolled with Moyà and cried for Gifford. The characters are rounded and the fragility of life and circumstance is cleverly woven throughout this epic series. There but for the grace of the Gods…

Captivating, emotional, enjoyable

The series gets better and better, simply can't wait to listen to the next part and the performance of he narrator adds so much character to the beautifully written and well crafted story...cant wait for book 5 & 6 to be ready. This is my first vision into this world and will certainly listen to the other series as definitely one of my favourites 😎
