About this listen
Torian Ranth has protected the university from the Viper. Now he must use him.
There are none at the university who can teach Torian what it means for him to be a valsahir. When the headmaster suggests he convince the Viper to teach him, Torian must first prove he’s worthy.
As secrets begin to unravel, the distinction between friend and foe blurs. The Viper, once thought an adversary, becomes an enigma, compelling Torian to grapple with a dangerous dilemma. Is the Viper genuinely the sinister force they have all feared?
But a tangible threat forces him to make a choice. Rusav, relentless in their quest for destruction, look to liberate the Viper, their linchpin to obliterating Navarin.
Torian must find his own truths to protect those embroiled in a war that should never have been theirs to fight—even if it means defying everything he’s come to believe.
Book 3 in a new Progression Fantasy series from bestseller D.K. Holmberg. This is coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, perfect for fans of Mark of the Fool, Cradle, and Bastion.

Ian and Vic are brothers. Their lives are simple, and while they might long for excitement, happiness can be found in a hard day's work, a sunny day, or the smile from a pretty girl. Their lives are turned on end when their village is attacked and they are taken as slaves, destined to labor under the watchful eye of their captors. The strife that had long dominated much of the world had found them. Things would never be the same.

One hundred years ago, the Eternals, 13 men and women closer to gods than mortals, stood against the greatest threat the world had ever faced. They died. All save for one who managed to flee with the enemy leader’s weapon, a cursed blade of incredible power. This is a battle he fights alone, for after they defeated the Eternals, the enemy used their magic to pose as their conquered opponents, taking over rule of the world in their stead. For the last 100 years, the people have believed that the legendary Eternals triumphed, that they are safe. Only the wanderer knows the truth .

The power of the elements can be complicated to master. Most reach it through the element bonds, ways of connecting to and shaping power that allowed the nation of Terndahl to thrive for centuries. Few can reach power of their own, an ancient way of holding magic the elemental warriors of old possessed.

This was a great Trilogy.
DK has done it again. This book was the perfect ending to the Trilogy. I feel like I could be in this story. John's smooth voice carried you from the lows to the highs, keeping you wrapped in the story. I can only hope that DK will make another Trilogy that will follow Torian and complete his quest.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
