Publisher's summary

The dead are rising from their graves. Somewhere beneath the land of Terrassia, something stirs from its ages-old slumber.

Leighandra Evenstar planned to attend the resulting summit of nations simply to chronicle the problem and the suggested solutions. Soon, however, she finds herself wrapped up with a group of young heroes intent on making solutions rather than talking about them. They are an odd assortment - humans, an elf, and one of the wolf-like luranar - and yet Leighandra finds purpose in the unity of peoples and nations.

Will it be enough? Can the gathering of many peoples from many nations stop the awakening of an ancient evil? Or will Terrassia be the first continent to fall?

Good culmination at the end.

I have loved all the book till here. this one was not my favorite (not saying it was bad), probably due to the out of nowhere side stories and new characters. now they do all meet up at the end, tie off some loose ends, fill in a few holes, and make sense. I had a hard time at the beginning but as it went along I was able to get in to it. only thing I did not like was how they felt with Darkwing. that was a bit of a let down. other then that, it was good in my opinion. can't wait to listen to the rest.

Nice Addition

I appreciate the leap of faith needed to write an entire book around brand new characters… rather than “clunkily” shove them into the storyline in the books to come. The slight nods to the main story to keep with the timeline was also appreciated.
Good characters and story along with it.
I did find myself zoning out and having to rewind occasionally because the meter felt lost. Possibly because I had become so entwined in the previous story, and now had little report with the current characters.
It’s worth the listen for sure.
Having said that… the narrator is amazing. She is capable of allowing the listener to follow who is speaking very easily. But… I don’t know if this has been mentioned in other reviews… ELTZ is not a word. The word is “else”. And every time she says “eltz”, my brain just cringes.
If I could give her a 4.5, I would.

Very enjoyable.

A nice melting pot of races, gods, action, drama, adventure, self discovery, and on and on. Throw in the occasional kick to the feels and this makes for one heck of an enjoyable series.
