The Dying Wilds

The thrilling conclusion to the Kingdom of Erishum Trilogy brings Nyssa and Vallen’s journey to its epic end.

Synopsis

The Dying Wilds are as lethal as ever—and Vallen and Nyssa are heading straight back in.

Five Tributes face a sacrificial ritual, and no one else is coming to save them. Armed with magical wellspring water and the hard-won survival instincts of former gutter rats, Vallen and Nyssa fortify their campsite against the deadly hyvas and launch a desperate rescue mission into the wilds that nearly killed them before.

But freeing the captives is only the beginning. When they emerge from the wilds ready to return to Puzur, they discover that the kingdom of Erishum has fallen to ruin in their absence. King Jorek’s tyranny has tightened its grip, and there is no safe haven left to retreat to—only the choice between standing against a king or watching their people suffer.

Two gutter rats against a kingdom’s worth of enemies. The odds have never been worse. But courage, sacrifice, and sheer stubborn determination have carried them this far, and Vallen and Nyssa aren’t done fighting yet.

What Readers Are Saying

"The Ending was Great I enjoyed book three as much as the first two books in the trilogy. My attention was grabbed from the opening paragraphs until the end as I had to find out what happened. I liked Nyssa and Vallen. I admired their commitment to each other and to their desire to save their people. I was entertained by the twists and the almost non-stop action. I was sad that the final chapter of Nyssa's and Vallen's story was complete. I was entertained by Janine Granda's narration, and her performance added to my enjoyment of the story. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook."

"What a satisfying conclusion to this dystopian trilogy! In fact, it is so skillfully completed that it absolutely exceeded my expectation. The plot is intricate and full of twists I did not see coming; the different storylines are fascinating and involve both joy and tragedy; the characters have vivid growth, showing courage, loyalty, and determination. The narration of the audiobook brings the characters to even greater definition. Definitely recommend...this will stay with me for a long time."

I find this Author's writing very interesting and she basics parts on actual facts, like the Mudlarks. Narrator has done a marvelous job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline."
