Legends of Agora #4

A Crown of War

Rate this book
A Crown of War, the conclusion to the Amazon best-selling fantasy series, Whill of Agora.

Eadon’s dark armies have descended upon Agora. Rifts within the kingdoms of humans, dwarves, and elves, have unleashed hordes of draggard and dark elves. Although The Other has destroyed the rifts, Whill and his friends are now trapped far across the ocean in Drindellia.

Whill must find a way to overcome his alter ego, and ultimately, the Dark Elf Eadon. The ancient elf Kellallea claims that Whill need only hand over the power of Adromida to her, and Agora shall know peace. He has successfully united the races against the dark elves, but is it too late?

Dirk Blackthorn has finally been reunited with his long lost Krentz, they are free of Eadon once and for all, free to live the life they choose. Dirk urges that they go far away from Agora, believing that Eadon will succeed. Krentz, however, has set her sights on thwarting her father’s plans.

Roakore is far from his mountain kingdom of Ro’Sar, a kingdom he believes is in dire peril. As he and his companions fight to find a way back to Agora, Roakore struggles with the doubts planted by the Book of Ky’Dren. Soon he will discover something of such magnitude that it will change his life forever.

Aurora Snowfell stands upon the brink. Torn by loyalty and the promise of power, she must choose between the future of her people and her very soul.

About the author

Michael James Ploof

I spent my youth in the land of make believe. School was a bore, and growing up in the "Boonies" without cable television forced me to use my imagination. If I wasn't holed up in my bedroom playing with my vast collection of action figures, I could be found in the forest with a wooden sword or staff in hand, battling the forces of evil. As an 80's kid, I was raised on a healthy diet of movies like Star Wars, The Neverending Story, Labyrinth, Goonies, and endless other classic (but strange) movies.

As a reader, I enjoy books that take off right out of the gate, sweep me off my feet, and whisk me away on an epic adventure. As an author, I try to create books that do the same for my readers. I write fantasy, and I suppose that I still live in a land of make believe, except now I get to share the adventure with others.

I hope that you will join me on my next adventure, and together we can escape reality, if only for a time.

Yours in Magic,

Michael James Ploof

Never have I been so disappointed in the ending to a series that I have truly enjoyed.

I don't normally write reviews immediately after reading a book. I usually like to sit on it and go back and reread at least parts if not the entirety of the book at least once. When I saw that this book had been released I was excited. Finishing the book left me feeling drained, depressed, and unfulfilled.



To anyone who is planning on buying this, let me say that if you had any notions on how you wanted this book to end, they will be crushed and you will NOT be happy about it. At this point I wish I had just not read the book and subsisted on the fantasy ending I had concocted myself.

I wondered how Whill was going to be able to manage, and I am glad that he did, although the ending is still very unfinished.

Great story telling!

"Will of Agora" story. The ending is spectacular. I became so invested in the characters and storyline. What a wonderful and exciting story. A must read for fantasy lovers. I highly recommend this series. : I can't wait to read book 5 to find out what is next. Which I plan to start reading right away.

This series seems to be losing me. I am having a hard time reading this book. The first one of the series was great, each and every book there after seems to be going down hill. OK read!

This is the 4th book in a series and I felt like it concluded the saga fairly well. It was loads better than the 3rd book in the series so if that one turned you off, I can assure you that the plot pacing picked up in this final episode.

Whill finally takes action and confronts the villain. Most side plots involving other minor characters are advanced satisfactorily, however a few important side stories are left dangling... Leading of course to another set of books.

Overall it was a decent fantasy series that kept my attention throughout most of the text. For a self published author, I was impressed with the professional quality of the writing and editing. Very few typos. I would recommend it for fantasy fans, especially if you can get it when it's on sale as I did.

Best series ever!

I just finished the fourth and final book in this Whill of Agora series and I'm ready for them to make a really good movie out of it! The characters and story are amazing. You cry,you laugh and, personally, I bit off what was left of my nails. Michael Ploof has truly become one of my favorite authors and I look forward to reading his newest venture of Talon which luckily is available free with my Kindle Unlimited subscription :)

The author always delivers

The characters backgrounds are so well written that there is a bit of
literary genius that blossoms with every adventure. I don't know how
he keeps constantly moving the characters forward in so many directions.
This is MUST read just as are the three books before this finale.
Mr. Proof also leaves a lot of openings to bring some favorites back
(Good and bad). There are always surprises in every chapter.

I really enjoyed the series and felt the ending to be a huge disappointment. I got so in to the relationships built between the characters that the ending felt like a leap back to square one. The ending is a shameless "to be continued" of sorts where you are led on the entire series only to have major plot lines left unresolved.

Better, but not as good as book one

Why did you stop with book four, you could of at least finished it better. You left Whill hanging. I would have liked to see him get Agora stabilized, marry Averial, even get Tarren whole, NO, you just left it hanging. You need to work on your endings.

Spoiler

The conclusion to this book is very disappointing. It made no sense why Whill lost his power and the dwarves did not. The ending is very predictable and a bad way to end a good series(like eragon)
