About this listen

From best-selling and award-winning author Jay Kristoff comes the thrilling and heart-breaking conclusion to The Nevernight Chronicle.

Mia Corvere, gladiatii, escaped slave and infamous assassin, is on the run. After the greatest games in Godsgrave’s history ended with the most audacious murders in the history of the Itreyan Republic, Mia finds herself pursued by Blades of the Red Church and soldiers of the Luminatii legion.

She may never escape the City of Bridges and Bones alive. Her mentor Mercurio is now in the clutches of her enemies. Her own family wishes her dead. And her nemesis, Consul Julius Scaeva, stands but a breath from total dominance over the Republic. But beneath the city, a dark secret awaits.

Together with her lover Ashlinn, brother Jonnen and a mysterious benefactor returned from beyond the veil of death, she must undertake a perilous journey across the Republic, seeking the final answer to the riddle of her life. Truedark approaches. Night is falling on the Republic for perhaps the final time.

Critic reviews

"If you love Robin Hobb or George R. R. Martin, you will adore Nevernight." (Starburst)

"With a delicate balance of the ancient and the magical, this tense and brutal tale is unflinching, thrilling and satisfying." (Publishers Weekly)

"Joins lyrical high fantasy, Pratchett-like humour and unflinching descriptions of violence [...] something special." (SciFi Now)

Amazing? AMAZING

I'm litrerally dead right now and all i can say is AMAZING. And seriously *well done* to Holter Graham: he voiced the characters exactly right (Mercurio is the bessst) and I truly forgot that the same man is speaking for all these different characters. Truly phenomenal.

Good, but not as good as the first

I loved the first book but found this one to be very up and down for me. There were parts where I nearly gave up on it, but glad I stuck it out to the end. Overall I really enjoyed this series and the like the narrator a lot.

So worth it

This is a very, very dark romance. The footnotes, which teeter on the edge of being irritating, finally make sense when all is revealed at the end. A worthy finale to a gory, witty, clever series - captivating and action packed. If you liked Deadpool you will love this. Beautifully written and well narrated, and a very satisfying listen.

Mostly fantastic last book

Maintains the quality of the first books. The ending lacked some of the twists and turns of the other books.
