Summary

As Rune Saint John grapples with the challenges of assuming the Sun Throne, a powerful barrier appears around New Atlantis’ famed rejuvenation center. But who could have created such formidable magic...what do they want from the immortality clinic...and what remains of the dozens trapped inside?

Though Rune and his lifelong bodyguard, Brand, are tasked with investigating the mysterious barrier, Rune is also busy settling into his new life at court. Claiming his father’s throne has irrevocably thrown him into the precarious world of political deception, and he must secure relationships with newfound allies in time to keep his growing found family safe. His relationship with his lover, Addam Saint Nicholas, raises additional political complications they must navigate. But he and Brand soon discover that the power behind the barrier holds a much more insidious, far-reaching threat to his family, to his people, and to the world.

Now, the rulers of New Atlantis must confront an enemy both new and ancient as the flow of time itself is drawn into the conflict. And as Rune finds himself inexorably drawn back to the fall of his father’s court and his own torture at the hands of masked conspirators, the secrets that he has long guarded will be dragged into the light—changing the Sun Throne, and New Atlantis, forever.

The climax of the first trilogy in the nine-book Tarot Sequence, The Hourglass Throne delivers epic urban fantasy that blends humor, fast-paced action, and political intrigue.

One of the best book series I've read

I love this series and have reread it many times. The Hourglass Throne is both serious and fun and a great end to the first trilogy. I can't wait to see what happens next.

A most excellent series!
I have listened to all three books so far and I must say I can’t wait for more.
Well written. Well performed.
So many mysteries. So much excitement.

Definitely worth exploring if you haven’t yet

Great story, well narrated

I love Josh Hurley reading these books, he is so good and the characters absolutely come to life with him acting them out.
I am absolutely obsessed with this book series, the characters, the world and the relationships being created through this series is brilliant. it's great to read LGBT characters as main characters that are well written and have healthy and loving relationships. Too often when I was growing up gay characters were a comic relief of a side character, so it has been wonderful to see these wonderfully realised LGBT characters come to life. More than anything though I just love the stories and the characters. I love Corbie, he reminds me of things my niece does (minus summoning a dinosaur), I think Adam is the sweetest character and I absolutely love the dynamic between Brand and Rune. Brands potty mouth is epic and I love it. long may it reign.

Outstanding series!


This book is the third in the series and carries on the underlying story of Ruin, Brand, Adam and their family and friends whilst dealing with new issues and events. I won't say what happens but there are two events that have a huge impact on Ruin.
I absolutely adore this series. The books are well written with humour but most of all have a whole gamut of emotions and feelings.
The narration is spot on and I can listen for hours.
Most definitely recommend!!

amazing as always

was sooo excited for this book and was not disappointed! the plot and characters developments are great and the lore has expanded a lot! this is just a personal preference but at some points it got a little too cheesy for me - even though i do love found family most of the time. still really enjoyed it though as that was just a personal thing and didn't really affect the entertainment of the book for me much.

as usual the narration is just out of this world, still the best narrator i've listened to, the performance is just so dynamic and really adds to the story.

cant wait for the rest of the series!!!
