Master of the Royal Secret

The Invisible College, Book 4

By: Jeff Wheeler

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler comes the heart-racing conclusion to the Invisible College series. The fate of the world hangs in the balance as two star-crossed lovers fight to beat impossible odds and secure a future together, and for humanity, or risk an all-consuming winter.

A bargain was struck beyond memory, sealed by an immortal covenant that promised either peace or extinction for humanity. The Aesir will uphold this covenant, whatever the outcome, but the Erlking will do everything in his power to ensure their victory. Two people hold the key to defeating him, but only one of them remembers who they are.

Everyone believed that Robinson Hawksley perished when the Aesir attacked the university at Nirshoye. But with memories unlocked, he now remembers the past and must await the final Awakening of the Aesir. When he revives from a magical sleep, he discovers that the Invisible College is in shambles, that those who practice magic are persecuted and put in debtor’s prison when they cannot pay the exorbitant fines leveled against sorcerers.

To end the coming calamity, Robinson must discover where the Erlking’s daughter is currently a Semblance, a doppelganger living among mortals but not knowing her true identity. It will take every creative instinct and an indefatigable purpose for the last sorcerer of the Invisible College to achieve the impossible. To thwart the Erlking himself who has finally come among mortality in a guise of his own.

There can only be one Master of the Royal Secret.

It is the 4th in the series

Love the author; Love the narrator. This was not the best, but it did provide a satisfying end to the series.

Magnificent

This last installment of the Invisible College was very satisfying. It was very interesting with some of the same great characters and the ending tied everything up nicely.

A love story that never ends.

A story of a love that lasts a thousand lifetimes and the ones that try to keep them apart. I loved the series and all the twists and turns. It amazes me how Mr. Wheeler’s mind creates the worlds and characters. Also, how the narrator brings her excellent perspective and insight into the voices of every character. I can’t wait for his next book and the narrator’s reading of the story.

The last words of the author: there will be more books

I like everything about Mr Jeff Wheeler, have read or listened to his books multiple times.
Every time the noise of the world outside becomes too much I go within with the words expressed so humanly.
Jeff Wheeler is the only author who taught me so many new words.
Each world I traveled to was mesmerizing. The construction of power astounding.
And so were the traits of character of many protagonists other than the heroes.
I witnessed integrity, love, loyalty along with genius.
All the subjects were interesting and I felt smarter, stronger for understanding them fully.
Mr. Wheeler’s faith allows others of different faiths to co-exist.
The highest show of love any human can create.
