About this listen
A warlord seeks the destruction of Runefall, and the end of magic, as a prophecy is met with doubt.
Kyra, a young woman capable of wielding rune magic, is called from her hidden city to a temple no one knows about. As Kyra wrestles with a prophecy, and wanting to save her city, a dwarven king leads his people to carve a new home for themselves but instead finds himself approaching divinity. On the other side of the world, a dark sewer hosts a father and son who escaped a tyrannical attack. They now hide and attempt to summon a golem for protection but learn something about magic that might change the world.
Intricate stories and deep lies connect peoples from all across the land. The actions of one may very well condemn the lives of another, even if they never meet.
Such is the cruel way of the world and the unforgiving cost of magic.

ok
This was hard work. I did finish which is something. It might be that had I been using a paper version it would be easier as my issue was the split between each pov.

Mission
The book is about disappearing magical powers, isolation from the environment and huge battles between gods, dragons, dwarves, .... The story is told from the point of view of different characters and jumps from one to another. I think for those who can remember names easily and love fantasy stories, it is an exciting and interesting book.
I started the audiobook 3-4 times before I could continue listening. English is not my native language, but I found the reading choppy and it was distracting.

sadly not good
I'm afraid I found this book very difficult to get into and kept having to go back when I found myself distracted and not able to follow the story. I did listen to the end and sadly nothing has stood out for me
