Age of Empyre (#6)
A DOOR OPENS. AN ARMY OF DRAGONS ADVANCES. AND THE FATE OF THE LIVING RESTS WITH THE DEAD.
After obtaining the secret to creating dragons, the leader of the Fhrey has turned the tide of war once more—but gaining the advantage has come at a terrible price. While Imaly plots to overthrow the fane for transgressions against his people, a mystic and a Keeper are the only hope for the Rhunes. Time is short, and the future of both races hangs in the balance. In this exciting conclusion to the Legends of the First Empire series, the Great War finally comes to a climactic end, and with it dawns a new era—The Age of Empyre.
From Michael J. Sullivan, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author comes the concluding installment of his six-book epic fantasy. This series chronicles a pivotal point in Elan’s history when humans and those they once saw as gods warred until a new world order was born. Set three thousand years before the Riyria tales, Legends is a stand-alone fantasy series that is independent of the Riyria novels. But for those who do follow both series, Legends will unmask lies and reveal the truth about Elan’s history and the men and women who shaped what the world became.
Reviews
"Though not as lengthy as my previous review, I cannot praise Michael J Sullivan and his ‘The Legends of the First Empire’ series more. Age of Empyre is its high point, a towering accomplishment atop the already impressive series. Sullivan writes with a beautiful moral compass and brings his characters to life in a way very few authors will ever manage in their writing life. The mythological imagination boggles the mind, but is not left untethered from reality, and builds a historical footing for what we have already seen and read thousands of years in this fictional future."
"The pacing and action in Age of Empyre were handled with finesse, and there were many other elements Sullivan implemented that worked with me."
"An epic conclusion befitting of an epic series: Age of Empyre tells the story it sets out to and more, concluding the Legends of the First Empire in a blaze of action, adventure, and flair."
