Forbidden Song [Dramatized Adaptation]

Sons of Ares [Dramatized Adaptation] #3

by Pierce Brown, Rik Hoskin, Richard Rohan (Narrator)

The third and final audiobook in the Red Sons Of Ares series is here! The last two entries into the Sons of Ares had Fitchner on his heels. In the first, he was driven by love and desperation to save his wife Brynn before her execution at the hands of the Board of Quality Control. Then, in book two, Fitchner went head to head with both of his early allies -- Arturius and Quicksilver. His wrath left Arturius dead and set back Quicksilver's dream of expanding exploration and human habitation to other stars. In Forbidden Song, Ares may not always be in control. But he has a plan -- and it's a doozy. FORBIDDEN SONG is one part Ocean's 11 , one part Les Misérables , and it sets the fuse for the Rising that Darrow will inherit.

Adapted from the graphic novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music.

About the author

Hello. I'm Pierce Brown, the author of the Red Rising Saga, a NYT #1 bestseller.
I figured I'd write you myself than have corporate copy pasted below my totally natural author photo.

In my books you'll find stories of men and women finding their inner strength when all seems lost. You'll also find me exploring themes of love, violence, hope, and power--what it means, why people seek it, and how they hold onto it.

More Sevro pls-

He is my only thought always. I do like this series, I wish it had been full novels though, I feel like there is so much to explore and get into and it was all very fast and less impactful. Still fun! I'm not sure if I like the parallels between Fitchner and Darrow or not when it comes to their wives, b u t I will just think about tiny Sevro

can do no wrong

Sons of Ares Vol. 3: Forbidden Song was a strong finish to the trilogy. I really enjoyed this one—especially seeing more of Fitchner’s development and what shaped him into the man behind the mask. A satisfying and emotional end to the origin story of Ares.

My rating 4.1/5

[Claire]

Yes! That was brilliant! We met characters from Red Rising in this one, Harmony, Cavax, Quicksilver etc it's really interesting to see how they came into the story and we learn how Fitchner became a proctor. I'm so glad I did the Red Rising trilogy first and then dived into this, it helped to fill gaps really well. Loved it

[Stephanie]

This is my favorite volume and the dramatized adaptation was excellent.

Once again, great voice acting and sound effects. I love how the audio performance expands on some of the dialogue and descriptions.

And the great quotes from the graphic novel sounded great on audio:
Quicksilver to Ares - "If he turns his ill gaze on you...well..in your blood, he will glean my reflection."

Nero to Fitchner - "What good is victory if you can't control the story?" (This one is chillingly true).

5 out of 5 Reaper Songs.

A little disappointed that there wasnt more fighting and would have liked to have more about how Ares took more things down but overall was fab and i loved seeing the Nero stuff. Meeting Claudius and Karnas back in the day was great but still not enough about why Eo was so taken by the Ares symbol.

This trilogy really changed how I see the beginning of Red Rising. Darrow may become the face of the Rising, but Fitchner built the foundation. So much sacrifice, so many impossible choices, and despite every setback he just keeps going. The ending gave me chills. Ares truly walked so the Reaper could run. 🐺❤️ hail libertas!

Fitchner rises to prominence in House Augustus while simultaneously building his army of reds.

[Scotty Jinks]

I legitimately didn't see the ending coming, and that is hard to do with a Prequel.

[Jack]

Very good.

[George Brown]

A great trilogy - I've truly enjoyed going back to the world of Red Rising as I anticipate the release of Red God.
This is a good prequel and the dramatized adaptation was a joy to hear

Kol kas geriausia RR prequel dalis. Veiksmas išsiplėtė nuo to, apie ką buvo kalbėta pagrindinės serijos prisiminimuose. Dinamiškiau, detaliau ir vis įdomiau 🤌

[Mārcis Birznieks]

Fitchner au Barca planted the seeds of rebellion, igniting a spark that would grow into a full-scale war against the oppressive Society. His journey is as tragic as it is heroic, and the Graphic Audio adaptation brings it to life with stunning, heartfelt performances that make every moment unforgettable.
