The epic battle between humankind and their godlike rulers finally ignites in the masterful follow-up to Age of Myth and Age of Swords.

The alliance of humans and renegade Fhrey is fragile—and about to be tested as never before. Persephone keeps the human clans from turning on one another through her iron will and a compassionate heart. The arrogant Fhrey are barely held in check by their leader, Nyphron, who seeks to advance his own nefarious agenda through a loveless marriage that will result in the betrayal of the person Persephone loves most: Raithe, the God Killer.

As the Fhrey overlords marshal their army and sorcerers to crush the rebellion, old loyalties will be challenged while fresh conspiracies will threaten to undo all that Persephone has accomplished. In the darkest hour, when hope is all but lost, new heroes will rise ... but at what terrible cost?

Magic, fantasy, and mythology collide in Michael J. Sullivan's Legends of the First Empire series:

  • Age of Myth
  • Age of Swords
  • Age of War
  • Age of Legend
  • Age of Death
  • Age of Empyre

Nyphron, a Fhrey, has persuaded his people to surrender the great fortress of his people to the humans, led by Persephone, who is now leader of all the clans.

War is coming and Fane, Lothian, accompanied by his son, Prince Mawyndulë will lead the battle himself. This book will see:

Nyphron show just how devious he is.
Malcolm reveal himself to be more than just a Fhrey slave.
Suri start to come into her own as the clans' mystic.
Gifford show that he is much more than his disability and heroes come in all shapes and sizes.
Persephone ... well, she, in my opinion, proves to be a great disappointment.

This is a book of struggle, of Fhrey, Dwarfs, Elves and a Dragon and an ending no-one will want.

This is Book 3 of a 6 book series of Legends of the first Empire and its amazing that the plot lines are converging, diverging and confounding at the same time. I have read all the Ryria books and the prequel continues to be fascinating. Excellent narration

The epic picks up speed
