Summary

Leo Carew's much-lauded Under the Northern Sky trilogy draws to its spellbinding conclusion....

Albion continues to be divided by revolt and bloodshed, as alliances collapse and are made anew.

Driven obsessively for glory, the upstart Bellamus and his exiled queen Aramilla are marshalling resistance and building a powerful army.

Returning to the Hindrunn, Keturah is forced to fend for herself, battling enemies on all sides just when she is most in need of a place of safety.

And all the while, the young Black Lord must deal not only with the aftermath of a great betrayal, but the cold shadow of the Kryptea, threatening to destroy everything he has fought for....

loved the series, However the ending was difficult to take

loved the series, However the ending was difficult to take, There was so many options the Author could have ended and he chose the worst one in my opinion, However I like the Author's writing style and all 3 books are a page turner

Again just gutted with the ending

Excellent

Another fantastically written book, perfectly narrated.

Initially I was unsure if I would like this book series, I gave it a try as I find Matt Addis is a superb narrator. I am really pleased that I did.

Just sublime

Mr Carew,

You have single handedly destroyed my evening. I started listening with 7 hours left of the book this morning and I couldn't switch it off until it ended just moments ago, when I irrationally burst into tears mourning that the experience was over.

I read a lot of fantasy and I have rarely come across characters as loveable and well written as these. the intricate detailing of both civilisations, their principles and beliefs created such a rich and wonderful world.

Though they had their faults, the Anakim have such a animistic perception of the world, they really do love full lives and it is something I will take away from this book and cherish.

I will no doubt return to this in the years to come and love it all over again .

outstanding trilogy of books

I found this series a class above many many others i have listened too, the characters the depth of derail and the story itself are truly brilliant.
the ending too was incredible... my only gripe is that I'll not get to listen to it for a first time again.
the narrator does a fantastic job, like all listener's it took me an hr or so of the first book to switch from the previous narrator I'd listen to on my last series but once through that it was all perfect
