Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Fel'annár is a gifted immortal warrior embarking on his first patrol into the Deep Forest. Half-Silvan, half-Alpine, he battles the enemy from without, and the prejudice from within. But he learns more than just warfare when an arcane power begins to emerge, one he cannot control. While friendships are forged, a destiny unfolds, one that is tied to a past he knows nothing about. For others, though, it is only a matter of time before the truth is revealed, and the danger becomes real.

Publisher's Summary
A door opens. An army of dragons advance. And the fate of the living rests with the dead.
After obtaining the secret to creating dragons, the leader of the Fhrey has turned the tide of war once more - but gaining the advantage has come at a terrible price. While Imaly plots to overthrow the fane for transgressions against his people, a mystic and a keeper are the only hope for the Rhunes. Time is short, and the future of both races hangs in the balance. In this exciting conclusion to the Legends of the First Empire series, the Great War finally comes to a climactic end, and with it dawns a new era in the Age of Empyre.
From the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan comes the concluding installment of his six-book epic fantasy. This series chronicles a pivotal point in Elan's history when humans and those they once saw as gods warred until a new world order was born. Set 3,000 years before the Riyria tales, Legends is a stand-alone fantasy series that is independent of the Riyria novels. But for those who do listen to both series, Legends will unmask lies and reveal the truth about Elan's history and the men and women who shaped what the world became.

Loved Every Minute
My enjoyment of this series has been off the charts. (All six books) I love Sullivan's writing style and for me it's been a breath of fresh air. His characters are living breathing souls that bring the words to life.
This last book wraps the story up perfectly. There are surprises and 'oh my word's moments. Tears, laughter, and moments I just had to nod my heard to truth a point at truth. Fiction is amazing like that. It contains hidden gems that help us understand reality.
Thank you to the author and his wife for working so hard to bring these amazing books into being. I have not read Sullivan's earlier work, but look forward to it. I am so excited to still have so many of his books to explore.

When one story ends, another begins.
Imagine you have heard of Star Wars, but have never seen the films. Now you have an interest, but watch the prequel trilogy. I’m breaking the analogy, so these films are MUCH better. But “Age of Empyre” is “Revenge of the Sith,” and it’s the end of the stand-alone series.
That was my feeling, at the end. But it was so good, I had to give it five stars across the board. I will enjoy reading other books by Michael J. Sullivan, even those in the Riyria series, but am resigned to missing the characters from this series.
This was REALLY good!

Nailed the Dismount
I've read many series that had me enthralled throughout, only to completely flub the ending. This is not one of those series. It was a fun, sad, exciting, depressing, amusing, disheartening, and in two spots, absolutely gut-wrenching tale. What it never was, though, was boring. Michael's writing is the sort that doesn't try to make you feel dumber by using long or obscure words. I really appreciate this, because instead of using big words, Michael uses the _right_ words. That means he can spend more time telling the story, and less describing how lavish and delicious the feast set out on the table is. Most importantly, though, Michael sticks the landing. No half-step, no wobbling, just flip off the horse and then, BAM, both feet firmly planted back on the ground. If you've read the Riyria Revelations series, then the ending will bring a tear to your eye. If you haven't, you'll still come away feeling satisfied.

A fitting end to the series
The war ends and Nyphron becomes emperor as predicted by Malcolm.
There are some unexpected twists to this book, such as what happens to Bryn, and some tie ins that you will recognize if you read/listened to the Riyria books. Overall Tim Gerard Reynolds does another stellar job performing as narrator and cast. The book does not stand alone, and you have to have read the series for it to make any sense or to even consider it a good book. Where the Riyria books did stand as individual books, but together made a more epic story, this series is really just one story broken into parts. As the last chapter of that story, this book is well done.
