About this audiobook

A humbled prince, a grumpy grandmaster, and a ragtag band of heroes find out what it takes to become truly legendary, in the conclusion to the epic fantasy trilogy lauded as “dramatic, fun, thoughtful, clever, and (literally) punchy” (Kirkus Reviews).

"Electrifying, thrilling, and a glorious, romantic ride."—Robert Jackson Bennett, on The Art of Prophecy


Once in a faraway kingdom there was a prince prophesied to be the Chosen One, who would defeat a great villain, the Eternal Khan, and save the kingdom.

But then the Eternal Khan died . . . and the prophecy was broken.

For Jian, the fated prince, this could have been a moment to succumb to despair. But instead, he chose to create his own destiny.

He studied under his curmudgeonly but beloved mentor to become a great warrior. And he banded together with some unlikely allies whose courage and determination match his own—such as Sai, a gruff warrior who is also forging a path different from the one her culture created for her.

Because some heroes aren't simply born legends—they choose to become legendary. And great heroes do not stand alone, but are stronger together.
