Valeria Vedeneyeva is a Russian writer known among fantasy readers for her books. The series of novels about Arone Tongile is the most popular with the author’s audience. We present an audio version of the fifth and final book of the cycle titled “The Wooden Crown.” Because of its large volume, it’s been split into two volumes.
Aron Tongile has long been walking toward the realization of his revenge. The accursed dark mage and necromancer destroyed all his friends, his beloved wife, and his son. And vengeance has been done: the hero cruelly dealt with his blood enemy, and in his basements he found a demon locked in a magical cage. Everyone knows how cunning such creatures are, but...
For the demon’s freedom, the demon promised that the hero’s loved ones would live again—and Aron couldn’t refuse the deal. The demon didn’t lie, but it also didn’t reveal the whole truth. The hero ends up in a parallel world where the people he loves are safe and sound—only now Aron is completely different: here he is a dark mage and a necromancer, hated by everyone and frightening all.
Meanwhile, the hero’s son is kidnapped. The kidnappers claim they have good intentions— to save the boy from the terrible fate supposedly prepared for him by the dark mage. The boy doesn’t know who his father really is, or that the terrible necromancer Arone Tongile doesn’t threaten his life—in fact, he won’t spare his strength to keep it. In the meantime, the Time of Chaos arrives. The story moves relentlessly toward the finale. The dark mage must fulfill his promises and repay his debts—and also deal with enemies whose number is growing far too quickly.
