About this listen

The Shadow Trials have returned after nearly 40 years. For Finn Tempest and his crew, survival may bring glory, but what comes after could cost them everything.

Finn never asked to command The Tidebreaker, a legendary ship carved with ancient runes and bound to a forgotten legacy. But when Starweaver Academy revives its most dangerous gauntlet, he and his crew are hurled into storms, shifting mazes, and shadow-forged arenas where fear itself takes form.

At his side are more than cadets. Marina, the strategist. Rowan, the voice of hope. Lena, the fierce fighter. Corin, the quiet engineer. Together, they face trials that awaken powers long thought buried and stir whispers of an empire rising once more.

Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, V.E. Schwab, and Robin Hobb, The Shadow Trials is the thrilling sequel to Tidebreaker’s Call.The Shadow Trials are calling. Ready your crew?
