About this listen
The discovery of a strange and superior warship sends Dion, youngest son of the king of Xanthos, and Chloe, a Phalesian princess, on a journey across the sea, where they are confronted by a kingdom far more powerful than they could ever have imagined.
But they also find a place in turmoil, for the ruthless sun king, Solon, is dying. In order to gain entrance to heaven, Solon is building a tomb - a pyramid clad in gold - and has scoured his own empire for gold until there's no more to be found.
Now Solon's gaze turns to Chloe's homeland, Phalesia, and its famous sacred ark, made of solid gold. The legends say it must never be opened, but Solon has no fear of foreigners' legends or even their armies. And he isn't afraid of the eldren, an ancient race of shape-shifters, long ago driven into the Wilds.
For when he gets the gold, Solon knows he will live forever.

Simon Vance's narration is his usual excellent job
Not my most favourite to be honest, I struggled to get into it and almost dropped out. Glad I stuck with it, the final third stepped up and delivered, albeit a little predictively in places. Good end and yes I will listen to the second installment.

great story that flows effortlessly
Maxwell has a wonderful way of twisting the knife just when you didn't expect it. He keeps your attention and rewards you in turn with an awesome twisting menagerie of characters

A good start
A very enjoyable start to Chloe and Dions' intertwining story . James Maxwell has again introduced us an unique world with interesting characters. Simon Vance as always does a great job of the narration .

Great fantasy story
A different take on a fantasy story set in a hot/tropical land for once. I really enjoyed the story and the narrator was engaging. It did sound like the author had just discovered the word ‘swarthy’ as he used it liberally through the whole book!

I sure hope there is a follow up.
This narrator had me willing the story on. I wanted to know the end; yet savoured every detail on the way

Excellent start
I loved James Maxwell's evermen saga and Simon Vance is one of my favourite narrators so this new series was always going to have huge potential. And I wasn't wrong. What an excellent start to this exciting new series. I absolutely loved it and jumping straight into book 2.
