The Last Mortal Bond audiobook, written by Brian Staveley, translated by Petra Kubašková and Kateřina Niklová. Read by Ondřej Novák, directed by Ondřej Černý. Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne #3 The Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne culminates in its third and final novel. The trilogy that began with The Emperor's Blades and continued with The Providence of Fire has reached its epic conclusion. The Annurian Empire is engulfed in war. The ancient Csestriim are back to finish their purge of humanity. Armies are marching on the capital city. The leach, solitary beings who draw power from nature to fuel their extraordinary abilities, are playing all sides to influence the outcome of the war. Capricious gods walk the earth disguised as humans, pursuing their own agendas. And for the three imperial siblings at the heart of it all—Valyn, Adare, and Kaden—it is clear that even if they survive the destruction threatening their world, they may not be able to reconcile their conflicting visions for the future… BRIAN STAVELEY Brian Staveley teaches literature, religion, history, and philosophy, which influences his novels.
