Daughter of the Dragon

Wrath of the Stormking, Book 2

De: Michael G. Manning

Narrado por: Tim Gerard Reynolds

The Stormking has brokered an uneasy peace with the West, but the threat of an elven invasion looms in the East.

Hoping to prevent a bloody war, Will departs in search of the mythical hidden gate to the elven homeland and believes the country is safe in his absence.

He is wrong.

Adept at manipulation, the elves seek to conquer from within, and their spies have already infiltrated the kingdom. As Selene prepares to defend her throne, she discovers that the elven plot runs deeper than the blackest shadows. Duty demands she put her nation first, but a loathsome ally urges a darker choice. Beset by foes and without the Stormking, she has never been so alone… or vulnerable.

She cannot win without power. To gain it, she must embrace an ancient evil or make the ultimate sacrifice. But she is Selene, the lich queen of Terabinia, and defiance is in her blood. When the hour comes, she will rise to face her legacy—and curse—as the Daughter of the Dragon.

Depth of characters

Another amazing book, can’t wait to listen to the next one , Mr manning ,keeps you diving back in for more . Highly suggest looking up his works !!

Great book, wonderful surprises!

no spoilers

I just want to say the ending is a spectacular cliffhanger!!! extremely well done and picks up on all the themes from the rest of the series. very well done!

Love this series!

I was conflicted about moving the story of Will on after the first amazing series. So glad I was wrong. This is so good! More please! More!

MORE PLEASE!!!

I read Art of the Adept twice and this is such a great follow up!

Might be my absolute favorite series

I have nearly 500 fantasy and sci-fi books and this series is one of the best. I love the character interaction. I love that it constantly surprises you and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The only thing I hate, is having to wait for the next book in the series. It was so bittersweet to finish this book. I can't wait for more.

Another entertaining listen

Great story as usual, I do like it when each book is complete and all the threads are tied up. This series compared to the previous series is a little loose with that.

Roller Coaster!!

I love this series! It was exciting, funny and I had no idea what was going to happen! So good!

Favorite Wizard Book Series. Keep it up!

This series has by far the best magic system and best magical know how and physics out of any book series I’ve read. Please keep the books coming!

Slow burn

It’s a good story overall. I’ll warn it doesn’t focus heavily on Will but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. More of a world/ foundation building story worth the read and definitely sets up some interesting things for future installments.

It's all tied together

I'll admit that the pace seemed to bounce back and forth alongside the characters, particularly with Selene with whom we get to see a bit of a redemption arc and the mechanics of the universe as a while tieing back to the prior works with Mageborn, and how parts of that books universe translates into this one. It honestly feels like something that'd be at home in Mage the Ascension at the end of a campaign, which makes it extra interesting in that aspect of world building. And aside from what seemed like a cheap shot right at the end before we switch back to Will's perspective, it was a pretty solid book, and I look forward to listening to the entire series again, when I see the next book is up for pre-order, and I think I'll throw in Mort's story too, just to see if anything from there shaped the world, now that that's becoming a bit more prevalent.
