Summary

To defeat an immortal evil, a young warrior must enter the land of the dead in the spellbinding conclusion to Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler’s epic Grave Kingdom trilogy.

As kingdoms fall, brave young warrior Bingmei fights to fulfill a prophecy and save what’s left of the world from the coming darkness. Should she fail, Echion, the diabolical Dragon of Night, and his queen will hold sway over the next thousand years. With Echion comes his unstoppable army of dragons - powerful, vengeful, and under his control.

Accompanied by her loyal friend Quion, Bingmei journeys toward her last hope. It lies among the savage beasts just beyond the ancient Death Wall - an uninhabited realm from which no one has ever returned alive. Bingmei’s mission is to find the phoenix shrine and learn the Immortal Words that will allow her to harness eternal magic. With Echion and his legions in pursuit, Bingmei must choose her words wisely to break Echion’s spell and accept her fate.

Bingmei knows what she must do. She must join the ranks of the dead as well. For a fearless and selfless warrior, it’s the ultimate sacrifice. But Bingmei is about to discover that even in death, the greatest sacrifices are yet to come.

Critic reviews

“Zeller portrays Bingmei as vulnerable yet fearless. Her relationship with her traveling companion is sweet and fiercely protective on both their parts. These traits contrast with the wariness that is evident in Zeller’s tone when Bingmei is confronted with enemies and potential allies.” (AudioFile Magazine)

good story with engaging characters

really liked the story and insight into a different way at looking at normal action stories. I liked the lean into a version of Chinese culture.good characters, plot and the performances were great.

Beautifully written and artfully reaad

This series of books transports the listener into a world of kings, dragons and Phoenix. It’s a sort of Chinese medieval setting with martial arts and fiefdoms but it’s also a beautifully written story of battles, magic, friendship, loyalty and love - an unusual combination that kept me fascinated through these first 3 books. I was delighted with the ending - looks like there will be more books to come I can’t wait!!!

Enjoyed the story

enjoyed the story, but at one point almost lost the plot and nearly gave up, if I was reading it I would definitely not continued with it. Glad I did.
