    About this audiobook

    A Rite of Swords is book #7 in the bestselling series the Sorcerer's Ring–which begins with A Quest of Heroes.

    In A Rite of Swords, 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.

    Will Thor and the others liberate the Ring and defeat Andronicus? Will Gwendolyn become the queen they all need her to be? What will become of the Destiny Sword, of Erec, Kendrick, Reece and Godfrey? And what is the secret that Alistair is hiding?

    With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A Rite of Swords is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

      The ups and downs of this book is very unbearable for me for they both loss tremendously after much that they have suffered the inability to pay much attention to their dreams and wearing has led them I to the traps of their enemies.
    • 5/5
      I love how I feel like I'm immersed in the battle. I am so hooked. Morgan Rice is a fatstic story writer and the narrator brings all of it to life. Look forward to listening to more from this author.

      The inconsistencies are just maddening!!! One group can make the same journey in a fraction of the time another does. Two dozen people are needed to lift the boulder initially, then just 4 can raise it over the bridge, really?! Gwen has seen Thor throw blue balls of fire, but when Allastair does it, “she’d never seen it before!”

      The story is great, and the reader is good when at 1.2x speed (otherwise I would fall asleep). This series could have been amazing with just some proofreading to catch these inconsistencies, but apparently that’s too much to ask. Every single book in the series so far has had these inconsistencies
