The Devil's Lair

The Gryphon Chronicles, Book 9

By: E.G. Foley

Narrated by: Jake Benson

One Night. One Mission. One Destiny.

In a world plunged into chaos by dark magic and monstrous creatures, destiny awaits Jake Everton in the scorched sands of Karakum, where the Black Fortress, stronghold of the Dark Druids, looms over a fiery crater, holding captive countless agents of the Order—including Jake’s own parents. If they’re still alive.

Once an orphaned street urchin, now a brave thirteen-year-old warrior with incredible powers, Jake must venture into the heart of darkness to save them. With his fearless Gryphon and his loyal band of friends (who refuse to be left behind!), the bold young adventurers will face monstrous trials and magical mayhem.

In this pulse-pounding installment of The Gryphon Chronicles, secrets will be revealed, courage will be tested, and sacrifices will be made. The path is fraught with peril, but Jake must break the power of the sorcerer-king and will stop at nothing to reunite his family.

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure that will keep young and old alike on the edge of their seats. Will Jake and his friends triumph over evil? Or will the desert’s flames consume everything they hold dear?

Join Jake on his most thrilling quest yet—for time is running out, and the battle for everything begins now.

action packed, strong individuality. I loved it

I loved that the conclusion was pretty well flushed out but still a lot to wonder about. it also highlighted that they all were strong independent individuals. it was action packed too which really made it fun to listen to.

Sinusoidal Waves of Action in this Installment that Keeps Your Heart Racing!

Many threads are resolved as the climax of Jake Everton's journey in facing his destiny reaches its height! Oh, but surprises await as to how the journey unfolds, not only for Jake and his friends but all of man and magic-kind. This book has it all: action, drama, love, sadness, fear, loneliness, empathy, and uncertainty. Every detail of the setting and pertinent background of the character is shared to encapsulate the essence of the moment, so that you are invested into the story and enamored at the next stunt that the kids pull off or at the tricks Wyvern unleashes onto the Order. This installment is beautifully crafted, not only to deliver the outcome of the war, but also to lead into a new world with a sense of new beginnings, opportunities and growth. The excitement and driving momentum of the story could not have been enhanced any better than with Narrator Jake Benson at the helm. Benson is truly a master of voices, and now evident as a master singer as well! As a long- standing fan of the Gryphon Chronicles, this book is by far the best yet - both thrilling, thought-provoking and imaginative. I am highly confident readers will utterly love reading this book! I did!!!!

WOW!!!

OMG!! Action from cover to cover. Lots of laughs and even some tears but a whole lot of Wows!! The whole series has been one amazing story after another but this book blew me out of the water (or desert is more like it haha). HIGHLY recommend this series!!

All the feels

This story is great and ties up all the dangling plot lines. The narrator is fantastic. His characters are excellent and his voice is soothing, a must in an audiobook.

The Best so far. A Great listen

It just keeps getting better and better. I enjoyed listening to the new book by EG Folley, "The Devil's Lair," and found it to be more than worth the wait. I discovered the series about Five years ago and purchased the first book. I fell in love with the series and could not get enough. I have enjoyed listening and relistening it and was looking forward to seeing how they ended the series. The Folleys have done a great job keeping the readers spellbound in this book. I could not put this quit listening to this book; I had to keep listening it until I finished it. I highly recommend it if you have enjoyed the earlier book or have not read any of this series. This is an excellent series for children or just children at heart.
While this book ends this part of the series, it promises to continue to do more significant and exciting things. Many answers come in this book that have been previewed in previous books, and I always wondered what would happen with them. The Foleys have done a great job setting up clues in previous books and then tying them all together in this last book while previewing future books.
Jake has outdone himself with the reading of this book. He just gets better and better with each book reads. His reading made me not want to quit listening to this book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy stories or is looking for an excellent, fun series to read.
I voluntarily read an Advanced Review Copy of this book, and the views expressed are my honest opinions.

We loved this series!

I loved the story of Friendship that lasted and how they all matured together and had many adventures.

Nice story. Sweet, not too sappy and I wanted to keep listening!

I liked this story a lot. It was a good ending to the series. The narrator was great. It wrapped up the series very nicely.

Disappointed ending

I was disappointed with the ending and what happened to the main characters. I found it very frustrating but appreciated that the authors tried to give an understanding to the readers of how everyone ended
up

I just loved The Devil's Lair!

The story of Jake and his friends continues. This book has a wonderful storyline. Jake Benson's performance of the characters in this book brings the story to life. He makes this story fun to listen to. Jake and his friends once again get dragged into dangerous situations. War between good and evil. Who will come off the conquerer? This action-packed book is the 9th book in a series that will keep you on the edge of your seat. You will fall in love with the characters in this story. I can't wait for their next book! This book series is a must listen too. Let your adventure with Jake and his friends begin!
