About this listen

The epic, heartbreaking conclusion to the Songs of the Drowned trilogy

Ixachipan burns. Rebellion rages in every land as the Empire of Songs battles to maintain control.

As Xessa and Lilla lead their warriors in increasingly desperate battles, their unity broken by betrayal and deception, Whisper Ilandeh finds freedom and obligation in making her own choices. Meanwhile, Shadow Tayan faces the awful consequences of his actions – and their seductive possibilities.

For war is fickle, and so are people. Sometimes, the only peace possible is that bought with blood and lies. And when vengeance sings, the choices made will determine whether the flames of war are fanned – or drowned.

III: The Dark Feather (5/5)

It’s no wonder Stephens is a writing mentor, as The Drowned Song trilogy is a masterclass of storytelling from start to finish. I was constantly surprised, delighted, and horrified by this world and its characters, all of whom were conflicted in ways that felt organic and distinctly human. I had no idea where the story was heading, right up to the final bitter conflicts and their aftermath, but I left the series immensely satisfied and awed.

5/5
