From best-selling author Danielle L. Jensen comes a thrilling new novel in the Dark Shores world, a series that Sarah J. Maas called "everything I look for in a fantasy novel".

Their battles ended in victory....

Lydia returns to Mudaire to enter training at the healing temple. But instead of fighting to save lives, she’s convinced she is doing more harm than good. She delves into the history of the gods only to discover a truth that will change her life forever.

His birthright as commander of the Royal Army is finally in his grasp, but Killian feels anything but victorious. Burdened by his past, he embraces the darker side of his mark - and in doing so, risks starting a war.

But the war has only just begun....

Having defeated the tyrant Urcon, Marcus struggles to form a lasting alliance with the Arinoquians. But he is plagued by the knowledge that there is a traitor among his friends, and it could cost him everything that he’s fought for.

Torn between her growing allegiance to the 37th legion and her need to liberate her people, Teriana finds herself mired in a web of secrets. She embarks upon a path that will either save everyone she loves - or put them all in their graves.

complex storytelling and fascinating world building

Great story...one of the best epic fantasies I've read in a long time. Unique historical details that placed us in a different world. Characters who are distinctive and I particularly enjoyed the first two books focusing on two separate pairs; then pulling the stories together in the third book.

Unfortunately, the narration was distracting. The narrators have raw talent, but the speech, diction and pacing were muddy and inconsistent. And some of the character choices were unrealistic and took me out of the stories. Often had to rewind to get what they were saying. I felt like the narrators were young in their careers.

Multiple narrators is also distracting. The focus is the story and a seasoned single narrator lends the story clarity and focus on the unfolding plot points, recurring themes and character arc instead of manufacturing new voices for subsidiary characters.

Slow

Felt like a buffer book. Overall okay and still interested in the next book. Patience required.

The Characters, and plots twisting every which way.

excellent series. Now I want to know when the next in the series will be out? you can't leave everyone hanging for long we will forget plots. LOL

Danielle does it again!!

Simply amazing stories and love the way that they are coming together! Can’t wait for the next book!

Love this series!

I have devoured this series faster than any series that I have read. The characters are diverse and it’s easy to connect with them. I’m can’t imagine how much detail when into writing a book with so many points of view, but it is indeed impressive. I can’t wait for the next book!

I wish

I wish it had ended very differently on every single front! I was looking forward to pieces that didn’t happen but all in all it was good

Massive Cliff Hanger

I can hardly wait for the next book! Gilded Serpent is so spell binding that I truly didn’t realize it was going to end. What a journey. This series is a MUST READ!!!!!!

Great Listen

This book is told from multiple POVs, but it's very easy to keep up with the storyline. Danielle does a wonderful job maintaining and creating characters within this intricate world of political games.

Fragile Relationship...Absence of Light...Tangled Web of Deceit and Love...Destiny...Purpose

Fight for your life. Don't give up. Truths will be revealed. Purposes will be defined. To be true to self, sometimes you must sacrifice.

"You are my heart."

Excellent! I can’t wait for the next book

I loved all the narrators, I’m not sure what ppl are talking about. It was easy to follow and made the book an excellent listen! I was so happy to see Agrippa again! I can’t wait for the next book!

Great story

I can't wait for the conclusion of this series to be available! hopefully very soon!!
