    About this audiobook

    Can Lia rescue her friends from an evil foe and save Muirwood once and for all?

    A devastating plague continues to rage through the land of Muirwood, and all hope is laid at the feet of the young woman Lia. Called as a magical protector, Lia volunteers to embark on one last quest to rescue the squire Colvin, her great love, and his pupil, the alleged heir to the fallen kingdom of Pry-Ree. Undaunted by injuries, Lia sets off across land and sea warning the kingdom of the great plague that is upon them. The arduous journey leads her to the doors of Dochte Abbey, where her friends are supposedly held. However, a fallen enemy lies in wait for Lia, as well as an unbearable new truth. The revelation will pit Lia’s deepest desires against the fate of her enchanted world.

    Fantastically epic and endlessly engaging, The Scourge of Muirwood is the monumental finale to the Legends of Muirwood trilogy.

    Revised edition: This edition of The Scourge of Muirwood includes editorial revisions.

      Intriguing, although it seems like leah had Two personality, as a child and awaiting death
    • 1/5
      Super predictable series once you realize the Christian allegories. One important theme of the series is really... Well, homophobic and conservative. Women shouldn't dance freely and kiss who they want? Men and women need to marry each other and have babies to fulfill their destiny? I was looking for an author similar to Mercedes Lackey and Wheeler was recommended, I wanted to give him a solid chance and read 6 books. I can safely say that I am not a fan.
    • 5/5
      Amazing and explains a lot of the other books he wrote. Another great piece that truly captures the reader and transports them.
    • 5/5
      This was such an AMAZING story. You will feel like you’re standing on a cliff when reading or listening to it.
    • 5/5
      Intrigue, danger, drama, fights, romance, longing, testing, devotion, betrayal, and more are all a part of this book. A lot of unanswered questions get resolved. Highly recommend the series!

      I love, love, love these books - can't get enough of them.

      Summer 2018, Whispersync Audiobook & Kindle Books:

      I blow straight through Wheeler's trilogy in what amounts to a little more than a book a day, so these are all going to end up running together.

      I rather loved Lia's story, and getting to both read and listen to it. I love the Maston magic (even if it did ring a little too close to The Fountain from his most recent series I had picked up and run through). I loved Colvin's wandering, plodding uncertainty about everything, especially his feelings. I loved that this love story didn't end up looking like anyone of the clearly too-alike earlier ones in the Fountain Head double trilogy.

      I mourned the descent of this gorgeous, glorious culture of virtues and faith as the handholds for real magic, and how the forcing of it was what spurned the world into blackness (which is in the reverse to what interests me about its centuries later follow-up trilogy). I believe people will enjoy these and run them rather fast. The characters are engrossing. The story goes everywhere, and I am left with a very clear feeling and idea of what this world looks like, and the fact its out there still living on, even though I'm no longer at the fire listening to its tale being told.

      The book starts by cutting straight to the chase - it is now armageddon. The "fall of the world", basically, was done Sodom and Gomorrah-style with cameos by Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel. The reliance on a "higher power", i.e. the Medium known in our world as the Holy Spirit, was again used as the only way to drive the plot forward. Why bother with an education or training when you have the Medium, right? The ultimate "blight on the world" that basically ended things for Adam and Eve 2.0 to reboot humanity was a disease that was passed by kissing unscrupulous women (called "haetara"). How does one become an evil woman, haetara, you may ask? By sending young girls around the age of the onset of puberty to figure out how to protect themselves against manipulations by those older and with more worldly experience who were pitting them against magical artifacts that exploited very primal fears including starvation, pain, and death only to be rewarded with possession by one of The Unborn - souls too evil to be born. Oh yes. These young girls are treated as evil masterminds, but apparently they're just possessed. But too bad for them - they're getting wiped out. Oh and the lead Mean Girl from book 1? Knocked up after having sex once, because The Evil of Sex. Saved from the end of the world and a changed now-young woman, fitting her new role of mother (to be). And the unresolvable "oh no he's supposed to marry the protagonist but he's with a haetara who unwittingly stole her identity" problem? Solved by a irrevocable marriage, which is apparently more binding than a regular marriage and can be performed without both sides knowledge and consent. (Read: the protagonist's love interest married her this way without her knowledge or consent.) But it's ok because happy endings.This trilogy was an interesting experience to say the least...
    • 2/5
      To the seasoned fantasy reader this one had a several quibbles to the way it was wrapped up similar to a Disney film; however, for those that a new to the genre I would easily recommend. Simple fantasy trilogy.
