A Rite of Swords

Book #7 in the Sorcerer's Ring

By: Morgan Rice

Narrated by: Wayne Farrell

In A Rite of Swords (book 7 in the Sorcerer's Ring), Thor grapples with his legacy, battling to come to terms with who his father is, whether to reveal his secret, and what action he must take. Back home in the Ring, with Mycoples by his side and the Destiny Sword in hand, Thor is determined to wreak vengeance on Andronicus' army and liberate his homeland - and to finally propose to Gwendolyn. But he comes to learn that there are forces even greater than he that might just stand in his way.

Gwendolyn returns and strives to become the ruler she is destined to be, using her wisdom to unite the disparate forces and drive out Andronicus for good. Reunited with Thor and her brothers, she is grateful for a lull in the violence and for the chance to celebrate their freedom. But things change quickly - too quickly - and before she knows it, her life is thrown upside down again. Her elder sister, Luanda, caught in a fierce rivalry with her, is determined to wrest power while King MacGil's brother arrives with his own army to gain control of the throne. With spies and assassins on all sides, Gwendolyn, embattled, learns that being queen is not as safe as she thought.

Reece's love with Selese finally has a chance to flourish, yet at the same time his old love appears, and he finds himself torn. But idle times are soon overcome by battle, and Reece, Elden, O'Connor, Conven, Kendrick, Erec, and even Godfrey must face and overcome adversity together if they are to survive. Their battles take them to all corners of the Ring, as it becomes a race against time to oust Andronicus and save themselves from complete destruction. As powerful, unexpected forces battle for control of the Ring, Gwen realizes she must do whatever it takes to find Argon and bring him back.

In a final, shocking twist, Thor learns that while his powers are supreme, he also has a hidden weakness - one that may just bring his final downfall.

great series to invest in

the story continues. it's a long series. just as good as all the other parts. must read all the parts before to understand. good series to invest in.

exciting

can't get enough of the audible books of this series. the man who tells the story is magnificent.

To fight

I have been reading all the books in this searies, I really enjoy them though there is so much fighting, it seems the author has devoted to much time to battels. Yet I have enjoyed all the books so far. The only other thing is the time frames. Age is a factor I have either missed along the way or the span of time is slow paces that the characters are all the same age throughout the books . The last I heard was Quindalin was 15. Not sure if the spelling of names. And Thor is still just a boy ?? Confused on that so I will have to listen to the books more than once. But in all as far I have enjoyed all the books and the narrator is great. I have enjoyed his voice and the power of his reading and the calmness where it's needed. Enjoy Wayn Farerel very much.

reminded me of star wars

series is becoming predictable and pretty fantastic clearly math skills are not one of her strong points

2 thumbs up!

i cant wait to get the nxt book in the series. It is so good!
