About this audiobook
Bloomsbury presents The Ring and the Ruin by Michael Livingston, read by John Smith.
The thrilling conclusion to Michael Livingston's historical fantasy trilogy THE SHARDS, which reveals the clandestine celestial conflict that shaped human history.
The Ark of the Covenant has been spirited out of Egypt to Petra, along with the last of its guardians. But dark forces are in pursuit...
Three demons, inadvertently unleashed by Juba of Numidia and the daughter of Cleopatra, are in league with Tiberius, son and heir of Augustus Caesar. They've seized two of the fabled Shards of Heaven, lost treasures said to possess the very power of God, and are desperately hunting the rest.
Through war and assassination, from Rome to the fabled Temple Mount of Jerusalem and on to the very gates of Heaven itself, the forces of good and evil will collide in a climactic battle that threatens the very fabric of Creation.
