About this listen

Destiny of the Dead is the second audiobook in the genre-bending Shroud of Prophecy series from New York Times bestselling author Kel Kade.

The God of Death is tired of dealing with the living, so he’s decided everyone should die. And he’s found allies. The Berru, an empire of dark mages, has unleashed a terrifying army of monstrous lyksvight upon everyone with a pulse.

While the wealthy and powerful, the kings and queens, abandon the dying world, one group of misfits says no more. Through dogged determination and the ability to bind souls to their dead bodies, Aaslo and his friends fight on.

In the mountains of the far north, another bastion of defense is opened. Cherrí, the avatar of a vengeful fire god, has united the survivors amongst her people and begun her own war on the invaders.

Now, Aaslo and Cherrí must find a way to unite their powers, one divine, the other profane, to throw back the monsters of the Berru, and challenge Death itself.

Interesting Series

I have enjoyed both book series by Kel and Nick delivers them wonderfully. I can’t wait for the next in either series, so please Kel, work faster ;-) highly recommended, have fun.

Just read some other reviews, wow, just wow, did I listen to another book? I get some observations about the gods, Tessa and the confusion around Aaslo having 3-way conversations, but I accepted that in terms of the developing story, the changing circumstances and his developing skills. I have always accepted the style of the books and this has the same feel as Kings Dark Tidings. The ideas and scope of the story are what grab me, and who says gods are mature and wise?

Waited long, over too soon

these books are always so much fun to listen to! so much passion behind them and really brought to life by the performer.
a diverse and interesting cast.
It's more like a shonen anime than your typical fantasy novel, though over time they've become less cliché/childish and a bit more gritty which I like. It's hard to keep that balance.

All in all, worth the read.

another great installment

The weakest Kel Kade I’ve listening to, was a bit of a struggle to get through. The whole dead friend quip - mutter under breath - member of the party replies thinking they are taking to him, gets a bit tired after the 500th time too.

Not great
