By: Rebecca Yarros

Narrated by: Robb Moreira, Torian Brackett, k'Lai Rivera, Gabriel Michael, Megan Poppy, LaMont Ridgell, Rayner Gabriel, Troy Allan, Laura C. Harris, Khaya Fraites, Taylor Coan

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.

But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects, and cinematic music!

Great performance

Really liked this -just disappointed to wait two months for part 2. Caught things I missed when I read the book. Dramatized is addictive

The, “Yes, DAAAAD! 🙄”, moments… XD

I’ve miiiiissed this world, waiting JUST for the Graphic Audio dramatized audiobook. 😭💜

Not going to ruin (much) for people…

BUT…

horned turtle (a very, “young lady, you take that out of your mouth right this second!”, moment. 🤣)

And Mira’s CHORTLE… holyhell, girl can SNORTLAUGH with her GUT!

INCREDIBLE!

Onyx Storm as a regular read was a 10 out of 10. But Graphic Audio takes it to an entire new level and I would say it’s a 20 out of 10. Incredible performances, great background sounds and I can’t wait until part two comes out! All of the voice actors as always are incredible. And the humor from Ridoc and Mira was top-notch!

Love the story hated listening to the sex scenes

It’s a great story and a fun listen. Could do without the way they handled the sex scenes. You can leave some of it to the reader to imagine.

The drama

Really great storyline! Love the continuation of the previous book with a twist of how it unfolds!

plots

every chapter is building more and more. i cant wait for the second part to come out. got thrpugh the non dramatized version but not giving me what i love that the dramatized versions give... that extra layer of oomph!

Love, love , love! This may be the best one yet.

Maybe it's because it's the 3rd one, or because I have been anticipating this release so much, but the characters just really owned their person. Don't get me wrong, I love the first 2 as well, but so far this one is the best to me. I think the voice actors have really honed in on their character and they all work so well together. And the sound effects and music is top notch. The only complaint I have is that the 2nd half has been pushed out so far :(

Some of the audio is skewed but i think it’s a glitch they can fix.

Overall best series I’ve ever heard narrated. Love the entire cast, and story. Eagerly awaiting the next book!

Perfect, as expected

We are so spoiled by graphic audios! I can’t revert to regular audiobooks now. This cast is stellar across the board. From a production standpoint, there were a couple noteworthy, mis-assigned lines, one of which happens in the first 10 minutes (ex: Andarna tells Violet it’s okay to grieve, and then a few lines later Andarna also says something like “if I took time to grieve, I wouldn’t have time for anything else.” This is clearly supposed to be Violet’s response to Andarna). Not a huge deal, especially since the majority of people have probably read the book already while waiting for the graphic audio to drop. But the contradictory lines did confuse me for a couple beats before I figured it out.

Why must I wait Months

How could she do this? July for part 2 of the dramatization version 😩😩 i must finish this i will finish it via hard copy
