Every prophecy predicts this is the final showdown between Linden and Mordahn, between the Liege of Faynwood and the darkest sorcerer in generations. Linden is determined to dispatch Mordahn once and for all, even if it means pursuing him into the realms of the dead.

Critic reviews

"a powerful protagonist, a strong plot, dry humor, and a romantic interest that our protagonist resists..." (Readers Favorite, for LADY LIEGE)

Another great continuance of an incredible story!

Talk about swoony! I loved watching her love story really shape and go into effect between books 2 & 3. It evolves as she does, and it's so well written!
I also love seeing them trying to heal the land as they overcome so much. However, the land truly heals as they actually do overcome and grow, it's a perfect circle!
The audio narration is stellar as usual too, I love that I can tell who is talking at all times.
Can't wait for book 4!

Third time is the charm

The third and longest book in the Linden trilogy, or the Serving Magic series, is full of romance, geopolitical intrigue, and magic, with plenty of narrow escapes for her, her beloved and her pet griffin, Kal. A trip to the underworld is part of the drama.You will enjoy the story as ably narrated by Toni’s go-to narrator Lisa Lynn Sandlin.

A Well Done Conclusion!

I enjoyed this conclusion to Linden’s story. I listened to it and loved how the narrator brought this story to life. I love how easy it was to follow. The story was well told and enjoyable. I loved how Linden’s story concludes and how she is wise beyond her years, but also acts her age at times. It makes her a relatable character. Overall, this was an enjoyable, well written story!

Love Linden....

I love Linden, this is the third book in the series. Toni has a beautiful way of writing, this story has everything. Action, love, light vs the darkness, and some amounts of heartaches, everything I expect from a high fantasy story. The action in this story kept me at the edge of my seat. And that kiss was so well worth the wait!

Toni wraps up Linden’s story perfectly, as the next 2 books in the series follow a different FMC.

Narration: The narration is by Lisa, she did a fantastic job as always. Lisa’s tones add just the right amount of emotion to Toni's words as she brings Linden’s story to life in this third book. We can feel everything happening as Linden's story unfolds and Lisa’s slight tone changes for different characters are perfect. She doesn’t over do it like I’ve heard in some stories.

A Family Affair

I was as entertained by book three as I was with the first two books in the series. I applauded Linden's sentiments regarding her missing brother. I appreciated that Linden wouldn't let anything get in her way in her search for him. I admired Linden's strength of character, and her determination to succeed in all her quests. I liked the imaginative path which Linden and her friends undertook in order to fulfill the strictures of the prophesy. I was entertained by Lisa Lynn Sandlin's narration, and I thought her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
