Summary

Only when the darkness falls can you see the light of the stars.

For thousands of years, the scribes and singers of the Irin race have existed to protect humanity and guard the gifts of the Forgiven. They have lived in the shadows. They have kept their secrets.

But the Irin aren't the only race with secrets.

Ava and Malachi have survived the darkness, but will they ever discover the light? A powerful cabal of the Fallen may hold the answers, but to surrender them, it wants the Irin race to finally face their enemies. Both those coming from the outside and those raging within.

The Secret is the third book in the contemporary fantasy series, the Irin Chronicles, and the conclusion of Ava and Malachi's journey.

Satisfying conclusion

Although Elizabeth Hunter has written more Irin stories, this is the conclusion of the main trilogy. And it's good. (So are the spin offs - read them, until they are available to listen to!)

I've given 4 stars for the narrator this time, as he really has not researched European pronunciations AT ALL. Americans are intelligent people. I know some. And the guy is an actor so he should know better. That apart, he does a fine job again.

Fantastic plot and storytelling

Elizabeth Hunter is a goddess of the written word, great ideas, execution of said ideas, worldbuilding and storytelling. Amen. I adore this series. They make my imagination go wild in joy, wind up my nerves and frankly put dread in my stomach, might be overly invested in the characters. Don´t think any other stories get this hold on me while listening. Get so totally engrossed. Zachary Webber narrating is furthermore a stroke of genius. Making the first three books of the Irin Chronicles The Gospel of Fantasy in my book. Awesome!

Fantastic story

Love this series and it just got better and better! The narrator is great too- his accents aren’t the best but he brings the story alive and makes you really feel for the characters.
If you like hard hitting but romantic fantasy, you’ll love this.
