The Discord of Gods

by Jenn Lyons Narrated by Feodor Chin, Lauren Fortgang, Vikas Adam

Overview

The Discord of Gods marks the epic conclusion to Jenn Lyons's Chorus of Dragon series, closing out the saga that began with The Ruin of Kings, for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss.

The end times have come.

Relos Var's final plans to enslave the universe are on the cusp of fruition. He believes there's only one being in existence that might be able to stop him: the demon Xaltorath.

As these two masterminds circle each other, neither is paying attention to the third player on the board, Kihrin. Unfortunately, keeping himself classified in the 'pawn' category means Kihrin must pretend to be everything the prophecies threatened he'd become: the destroyer of all, the sun eater, a mindless, remorseless plague upon the land. It also means finding an excuse to not destroy the people he loves (or any of the remaining Immortals) without arousing suspicion.

Kihrin's goals are complicated by the fact that not all of his 'act' is one. His intentions may be sincere, but he's still being forced to grapple with the aftereffects of the corrupted magic ritual that twisted both him and the dragons. Worse, he's now tied to a body that is the literal avatar of a star -- a form that is becoming increasingly, catastrophically unstable. All of which means he's running out of time.

After all, some stars fade--but others explode.

Multiple points of view, ambitious reincarnated character arcs, and copious swords and sorcery create an enthralling world in this conclusion to Lyons's "A Chorus of Dragons" series (following The House of Always). Kihrin D'Mon has successfully integrated with the damaged mind of Vol Karoth and freed himself from his prison. His original plan to stop Relos Var—his nemesis and reincarnated brother—from destroying the existing Immortals and ruling the world is getting stymied by the multiple players on this life board, including his closest loved ones, and the fact that Kihrin's new body will literally destroy anything it touches. As Relos Var continues on his path of universal domination, he prepares to face off against the demon Xaltorath, who is ready to take their power from the Afterlife across the boundaries. Kihrin's allies struggle not to let a war distract them from the real problems, and no one is sure who can be trusted in this final battle for survival. VERDICT Lyons wraps up "A Chorus of Dragons" by binding all the sprawling plotlines together in an incredibly satisfying epic fantasy adventure.—Kristi Chadwick
