The Sorcerer's Army

The Gryphon Chronicles, Book 8

By: E.G. Foley

Narrated by: Jake Benson

A dark future...

When Lord Wyvern’s outrageous rebellion succeeds, the half-demon sorcerer now sets his sights on world domination, accepting nothing less from humans and magic-kind than total obedience. The Order of the Yew Tree—humanity’s best hope of stopping him—has already been brought to its knees. Jake and his friends, meanwhile, have been left shattered and reeling after a devastating loss. But then, a gift from a mysterious friend changes everything—a sword unlike any other. Only, in order for Jake to harness its power, he must first dig deep and win the raging battle between dark and light within himself.

Faced with overwhelming odds, can Jake unleash the power of the brightwield in time to save his beloved friends from Wyvern’s horrific army? Or will his hatred and hunger for revenge consume him and drive the would-be hero into making a terrible mistake? One that could lead him straight into Wyvern’s clutches and fulfill the dire prophecy of the Black Prince...…

This intricately woven tale takes listeners on an epic journey where goodness, loyalty, and love stand as humanity’s last hope to hold back unthinkable darkness.

An amazing book!

The book is amazing, full of adventu
re, relationship struggles and danger. The story keeps one on the edge of their seat. The narrator did a great job with telling the story. He’s very talented. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

Highly recommended..

This series just keeps getting better and better. I'm not tempted often to want to skip to the end of a book, then come back and finish. But this one tempted me. But I'm greatful I didnt. It keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times. My emotions have had me all over. 🙂
Jake does an amazing job, keeping you in the story. I felt as though I was right along side the characters. I recommend this series to both Young, teen and Older. I'm older and love it.

Flawless Narration!!!!!!

Of course E and G have created yet another masterpiece. Now the impatient wait for Book 9 begins.

Hello!…

So let me just start by saying I have been listening to these books since two months after the first book was released and I have to say one of the best series I’ve ever listened to! The only thing I don’t exactly like is the classic Vampire x Beautiful Maden thing🤷🏼 but all that aside this CLIFFHANGER THING HAAAASSSSS TO STOP and I don’t agree fully with the depiction of the demons and angels… but as a
Christian that make sense. anyway I’m very glad for these books as I listen to it when I’m having issues with Dyslexia or concentration. If your reading this and considering FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET IT its an amazing series👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great for all ages!

I am so happy! The adventures of Jake and his friends continue in this book, but this time they are all together. We get to see the dynamics of the friendships, and how each of the characters is handling the loss of a loved one. Will they pull together or apart? Will Jake be the leader for good or will his self doubt and guilt isolate him and convince him he’s destined for evil? Highly recommended!

Good but it is slightly dark

Read the title of this review I’m suppose to have fifteen words so this is just fluff

The best of the series!

Really enjoyed this story, and we are adults! Well worth the listen. Great narrator. Loved his voices.

Another GREAT Installment!

I can't say anywhere near enough about how great this series is as a whole, how great the characters are, how amazingly the authors stay true to their storyline and development of this world we've all fallen in love with! If you're looking at reviews for this, the eighth book in The Gryphon Chronicles, you already know that Jake and his friends have been through a hell of a time of it. And after the devastating end to the seventh book (no spoilers here!), all of our intrepid young heroes are reeling mentally and emotionally. Not able to take even a moment's respite, our group is thrown into yet another adventure - this one kept much closer to home at Merlin Hall. I really enjoyed seeing the character development that differed for each one of our characters - Jake's hotheadedness getting, quite literally, hotter, Dani coming into her own strength and learning to stand on her own two feet, Izzy discovering where her powers truly will lead her and what she is capable of - and trying to ferret out what changes within them all are of their own growth and what is Shem's doing!

Jake Benson's take on these characters truly brings them to life and allows the listener to fall seamlessly into the world that EG Foley has created throughout these novels. I will come back time and again to read and listen to these adventures and recommend them to friends with and without kids alike - there's truly something in these books for everyone and have been a great escape from the mundane world we are all trudging through. I can't wait until the next installment releases!

The Dragon Lord has been a wonderful adventure, a growing up story of Jake and his friends.

I truly enjoyed this story. It is a wonderful continuation of the series. It demonstrates well the tension and up/down between the relationships found in friendships, loss, discovery, love and early teen emotions.
The fictional, magical, fantasy worlds that Is intersect and collide with and build upon our own world, and that life long battles of good, evil and choices faced and made are beautifully written, explored and so well narrated. It is a must read if you love this kind of classic tale.
i must admit, I am hooked, maybe even a nerd!
I love this series and was not let down at all with this continuation within the story and series. I look forward to the next book in the and can highly recommend this and all the books I have listened to thus far. If you enjoyed Harry Potter, Artemis Foul or any quality youth focused fictional fantasy you will fall in love with Jake and his friends ad they learning about themselves and fighting evils and try to save the world.
It is a wonderful creative fantasy, filled series With heroes and villains and dragons and elves and giants and mysteries deep in this magical adventures that you will fall in love with. Jake and his friends will come to life and fill your imagination. It's how our Heroes, Myth and Legend are made. The series is an instant classic in the genre. Thanks E G Foley for this feast for us to enjoy.
E.G. Foley, Gryphon Chronicles Book #7: The Dragon Lord has been a wonderful adventure.
