Publisher's summary

This title will be streaming in Audible Plus through September 1st, 2021.

With his duel fast approaching, Lindon is locked away in prison.

As a Blackflame, he is too dangerous to remain free. The Skysworn, protectors of the Empire, have imprisoned him to keep him under control until the day of his promised fight arrives.
When it does, he will face Jai Long.

But a new danger approaches the Empire, closer every day. One of the Dreadgods stirs, earlier than predicted, and even a brush with such a creature could be the end of the Blackflame Empire. Only the Skysworn stand between the people of the land and total annihilation.

And Lindon may be forced to join them.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

This series.... LOVE

I physically cannot wait for the next audiobook, Book 5. This is a new FAVORITE series, and Travis’s narration is absolutely stellar.

Second time I listen to the series.

I love the story and the characters and Travis Baldree is fantastic. I do think the "information requested" - parts are quit annoying and don't add to the story but I can't complain l, the rest of it is 10/10

Audible is wasting my time

Audible needs to change their review process back to allowing just star reviews and let the listener choose whether to write a review.

let Travis and Will Wight whisk you away!

Wei Shi Lindon continues to follow the dangerous and forbidden path (forbidden because the path he walks always leads to insanity and destruction) of the Blackflame Warrior! People distrust him because of his warrior image, so when Lindon would join the Skysworn and fight alongside them, all they see is a monster...but Lindon with his unique, "pure" twin souls, has found a way to negate the debilitating effects caused by using Blackflame magic
Undaunted, Lindon fights alongside his best friend Yerin, and as always, their Patron Underlord, Eithan, keeps egging both of them to do the impossible and fight against the Deadbeasts!
I would definitaly recommend this fantastic series to lovers of classic fantasy, and even fans who love anime/manga will find plenty of visual cues to savor in Will Wight's action-packed stories... So let Travis Baldree, and Will Wight whisk you away!

Quality is ebbing.

I am not at all surprised that this book is not as good as the previous ones. The level of excellence that had been established is very difficult to maintain.

Outstanding!

when I originally started reading this series I had some trouble getting into the first book then I started relating it to Anime. the book is intelligently wrought, it keeps your attention and makes me hunger for More. this series would be a very intelligent use of your credits... the only bad thing is the length of the books I usually prefer books but no between 12 to 14 hours, but the content is well worth the read. and the narrator is also easy to listen to, and understand.
