Best of Summer 2021 - Polygon
The Annurian Empire is disintegrating. The advantages it used for millennia have fallen to ruin. The ranks of the Kettral have been decimated from within, and the kenta gates, granting instantaneous travel across the vast lands of the empire, can no longer be used.
In order to save the empire, one of the surviving Kettral must voyage beyond the edge of the known world through a land that warps and poisons all living things to find the nesting ground of the giant war hawks. Meanwhile, a monk turned con-artist may hold the secret to the kenta gates.
But time is running out. Deep within the southern reaches of the empire and ancient god-like race has begun to stir.
What they discover will change them and the Annurian Empire forever. If they can survive.

The Empire’s Ruin
Brian Staveley is a master storyteller! I’ve enjoyed all his books immensely and would have given this a 5 star rating but for the male narrator in this audiobook. I’m not sure which one it is ( since there are two ) but he is so bad that I will not be listening to the rest of this series on audiobook. The female narrator was fabulous though!
