This is the fifth part of the series and John Banks has not missed any of the parts, John has narrated all the parts and he can be considered an expert in this series.
The continent of Jacuruku has seen war consistently and bloodshed is not a new thing for the people of the land. For a long time, no one is invading the territories of Thaumaturgus rather they are invading others in order to make themselves more powerful by occupying more and more land. Success is what this group of warrior tribes want but here they have gone a little too far and have made their lives troublesome by the decision they have taken.
Himatan is the place where the tribe is moving this time and the place is said to be the domain of the Queen of Witches. No one has ever dared to go into that forest that is on the border of the spirit world and the earth. Strange powers have been awoken and there is going to be a war that will be devastating. Saeng is one of the Thaumaturgus and she has been listening to strange voices since she was a little child.
When the invasion started, the voices just became clearer so Saeng had a quest of her own to solve the mystery of her life. Return of the Crimson Guard and Dancer’s Lament has occupied the thoughts of listeners all over the world and this is equal to those books by all means.
