Only one man stands in the way of the Supreme Fire Lord and the subjugation of an entire continent.

As the Firelander army razes its way across the continent, Connor is outmatched, outnumbered, and out of time. His only hope lies in finding the Orb of Darkness, but the whereabouts of such a power are currently unknown.

Until now.

In a desperate move, Connor and his allies infiltrate the barren lands of the enemy, risking everything to recover the lost relic. Their path leads to the ceremonial heart of the Fire Lands, a place of sacred horrors and certain death.

Can Connor reach the resting place of Orb before the Supreme Fire Lord claims absolute dominion?

Join him now for the epic conclusion of the Age of Heroes saga!

Not as good as the first two. Like most books now days. It is trendy to make the MC weak to every villain but continually try and say they are strong. They pit the MC against unbelievable and impossible foes yet ask us to suspend disbelief that there isn't a way to save the day. The liberal use of plot devices and dues ex (author making up random solutions on a whim) ruin it for me. This use of these means I have been reading about someone who really didn't matter. It could have been a rock with enough dues ex.

I think this was the best book of the series. Lots of action. Ties up a lot of loose ends. And not too many teenage boy sex fantasy scenes. Because every man knows how he can hold back his orgasims and satisfy 4 women. lol. For a fantasy series those were the height of it. But all in all a fun series

Excellent Series

OK. Yes, this is my genre, but I've even embraced the more "spicy" side. And while there is that same Magic & Mayhem I love in this genre, the "spicy" stuff is pretty hot too.

I enjoyed this so much! Everything about it was amazing! Yes I’m using a lot of exclamation points! Because I’m shouting out loud how incredible this series was!
Good job 👍🏻
