Publisher's Summary

On the eve of a recurring catastrophic event known to extinguish nations and reshape continents, a troubled orphan evades death and slavery to uncover her own bloody past - while a world goes to war with itself. In the frozen kingdom of Saiduan, invaders from another realm are decimating whole cities, leaving behind nothing but ash and ruin.

As the dark star of the cataclysm rises, an illegitimate ruler is tasked with holding together a country fractured by civil war, a precocious young fighter is asked to betray his family and a half-Dhai general must choose between the eradication of her father's people or loyalty to her alien Empress.

Through tense alliances and devastating betrayal, the Dhai and their allies attempt to hold against a seemingly unstoppable force as enemy nations prepare for a coming together of worlds as old as the universe itself. In the end, one world will rise - and many will perish.

Difficult to follow

I loved the concepts & the world, but found the story difficult to follow. Too many characters, nations and plot points were introduced too quickly, so I lost much of what happened and still dont understand why some parts were relevant.

Great ideas but not so great execution

I wish I could say that I loved this book. I really wish I could give it a glowing review. I did enjoy it enough that I will be buying the sequel, but I won't be listening to it; I'll be reading it myself. This was very difficult for me to get through. I think my biggest issue was with the narrator - she was not suited to this story one bit. It really ruined the whole book for me. I usually listen to audio books either in the car or in bed, but I couldn't do that with this book or I'd just fall asleep! Her voice is boring and sounds somewhat automated. Her character voices where horrible and the monotone pitch she kept made it easy to zone out and then realise you just missed a huge plot point. The book itself was slow and dragged out, for such a long book I feel as if nothing really happened, well nothing really exciting happened. But maybe that's because of the narrator.
