Publisher's summary

War has come to the Infinite Realm.

As old allies turn on each other, as an unassuming presence in yellow walks the lands of dreams, as an empire falls, a group of people is gathered to fight the threat that the rest of the world decided to ignore.

Even as everything burns, and the chaos consumes the core, some are willing to act. Whether for their own self-interest, or just because it is the right thing to do, they are the only ones that can stand against the greatest threat their world has ever seen.

The hardest part…

Of listening to these books, is knowing that the next one isn’t coming out for months if not a year. This series continues to be one of the best in the little genre.

Amazing book and series

Author does tend to favor/plot armor Zach to his strength yet the book and series remain epic and engaging.

Out of 780 books this series is my favorite.

I just read some negative reviews, first off I'm offended because of how much I love this series. Is there 20 min stats yeah every great now and then, However the characters are so damn interesting, and powerful you want to hear them to know where they stand as time goes by. I love the stat chapters and honestly its not at all that often. If your checking out these reviews of all the books to decide on starting this series. Look at these people begging for ryun, some say less Zach, some say they love Zach. Who knows which one you'll go for. That's the whole point, you'll be torn between the two. Kal is on to some real Gold here people, this should be a dang television series it's really that good. I swear anyone who hates this series has zero imagination if you ask me. The world he has created is amazing. Do yourself a favor buy this book if you've read the others. And start this series if you are just reading reviews. It's so worth it I've had 4 friends I led to this series and they've all thanked me for it.

Amazing

This is the best entry in the series - having the stat sheets separate makes it a much easier listen, and Zach’s arc is one of my favorites in the genre in this book.

Unfortunately the repetitive stats

Overall a good book. The storyline is very entertaining. Unfortunately the repetitive stats is a joy kill. you can skip probably a fifth of this book by passing it.

Please less Zach

It’s great that he’s part of the story but from book 1 Zach is not the one that is interesting. Honestly he’s a false main character. He whine’s about the past wrongs but first chance he gets bends on his morals with his new partner. At that point he lost all credibility in the story. I believe he was supposed to be the the Ying to Ryuns yang and bent the first chance he got. One for power on earth then with his partner. My opinion only but the book should focus on Ryun and the people he brings to his spear of influence.

Keep them coming

Very interesting story with characters that grow and evolve. Character sheet chapters are a bit of a snooze, but overall it is a entertaining listen
