A Duet of Sword and Song

Tale of Stars and Shadow Series, Book 4

By: Lisa Cassidy

Narrated by: Danielle Cohen

The time of the Shadowhawk was gone. Now he needed to be more.

In the space of a night, Cuinn Acondor lost his crown and almost his life. Devastated by Talyn's disappearance, he's on the run, fleeing from Armun and Shadow hunters who want to destroy everything he stands for. But he won't give up. Together with the resurgent Wolves, he begins preparing to take back what Azrilan stole from them.

After killing their Shadow betrayer, Talyn is captured and thrown in a Montagni labor camp. With no way of knowing what happened to Cuinn or her Wolves, she fights desperately to find a way out, to return home to them. Like Cuinn, she refuses to give up, no matter what . . . even if escaping means allying with her greatest enemy.

In the Twin Thrones, the Dumnorix are banding together and marshaling their forces. Firthland has brought war to their shores.

And they intend on fighting back.

The story started great but ended weak

The first three books were great in opbouw and content. The last book sizzled out with could have, should have, would have, and a lot of sorry’s. Sad because I loved the story.

Writing is superb!

Don’t sleep on this series! It is by far one of the best I have listened to. Character development is spot on!

Everyone likes a HEA

But so many pretenders and haters are disheartening. Without these characters being actors or con artists it is astounding they weren't discovered at any point in the many years of deception. The MCs own father never revealed his true identity or background. When your experiences and beliefs define you and affect your actions, it seems impossible to obscure the truth. Unless you have training and the ideal psychological profile, that is. Or a skilled sociopath I suppose. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and highly recommend it.

Thoruoghly Enjoyed!

I had this series in my library for months until I started it. This was such a good read. It's more on the side of suspense than it is on fantasy and romance, which was a refresher. It also reminded me a lot of Throne of Glass. I very much enjoyed this series.

What an Amazing Series!

I'm so glad I found this series and gave it a chance! It will easily go into my top favorite fantasy reads! Great from start to finish, all the loose ends tied up neatly, and OMG! The ending! I just knew it, but I didn't dare hope! And then it was true! Epic!
