The Burning Tears of Morlak

War of the Twelve, Book 3

By: Alex Robins

Narrated by: Jay Forrester

The Pact is Broken.

The legendary demi-gods known as the Twelve are awakening, and they bring with them the knowledge of what was found under the earth: an apocalyptic force of destruction that, if unleashed, will reduce the nine Baronies to ash.

Their one, slim hope of salvation lies deep in the Barony of Talth, a land now firmly in the hands of the greylings. Jelaïa del Arelium and Derello del Kessrin must marshal their weakened armies and lead them far to the north in a desperate attempt to win back what was taken.

Merad Reed, Captain of the Old Guard, sacrificed his own freedom so that others could escape. He now languishes in an underground prison beneath Morlak keep at the mercy of Mithuna, Third of the Twelve, and her knights. The keep is impregnable; no one has managed to pierce its defences in over a hundred years.

No one save for the man who calls himself Jeffson. Once a criminal and a murderer, now a simple manservant, Jeffson may have a way to rescue his friend, but only by returning to a life he had vowed to leave behind, a life ravaged by pain and loss. Does he have the strength to reopen old wounds without losing himself to his sordid past?

Fantastic Story . . major editing error

This is a phenomenal continuation of the story advancing the plot tremendously. I can't wait to read The Obsidian Eyes of Klief, but don't want this series to end!

Like the other two reviews state, there is a major cutoff two pages early in Chapter 9 in audible(Chapter 8 in the book) which contains a major plot point to the story that goes unheard. That needs fixed ASAP as it could lead to some confusion for a listener later on. It needs addressed. Otherwise a great experience.

end of chapter 9 has an editing error

So far so amazing. I am writing this review to alert whomever it may concern that there is a clear editing error or glitch at the conclusion of chapter 9 that should be reviewed.

Chapters are out of sequence. Enjoyed until Chapter 9 when story jumped around out of order.

How could this get published / offered with storyline jumbled? Hope this gets fixed as the plot is good.
