About this listen
Nine years after Rom Sebastian was thrust into the most unlikely of circumstances as hero and bearer of an unimaginable secret, the alliance of his followers is in disarray. An epic battle with The Order has left them scattered and deeply divided both in strategy and resolve in their struggle to become truly alive and free.
Only 49 truly alive followers remain loyal to Rom. This meager band must fight for survival as The Order is focused on their total annihilation. Misunderstood and despised, their journey will be one of desperation against a new, more intensely evil Order. As the hand of this evil is raised to strike and destroy them they must rely on their faith in the abiding power of love to overcome all and lead them to sovereignty.
Sovereign wonderfully continues the new-testament allegory that was introduced in Forbidden and continued in Mortal.

Story
The story of how I, Julian Carter, and my precious two-year old son, Stephen, left Atlanta Georgia and found ourselves on a white sailboat, tossed about like a cork on a raging sea off of Australia's northern tip in 1963, is harrowing. But it pales in comparison to what happened deep in the jungle where I was taken as a slave by a savage tribe unknown to the world. Some places dwell in darkness so deep that even God seems to stay away.

Years ago, the Gypsy Kumpania where Janeal Mikkado lived was attacked by outsiders. With her best friend about to be consumed by a fire, Janeal had two options: try to save her friend—at serious risk to her own life—or disappear with the million dollars that she had just discovered. But the past is quickly coming back to haunt her. Both the best friend and the boyfriend that she was sure were dead have reappeared in her life, as has someone who knows about the money. There's a debt to be paid for the money she found, but there's an even greater debt she must face.

Unsatisfying ending to the trilogy
I waited through three books for Jonathan to show himself a hero and king. I was disappointed to find that the story ends with Jonathan on a more spiritual realm only quasi supporting those that follow him.
Ted as always writes in a way that makes you want to continue reading. In this book however I kept reading hoping for a crescendo that never appeared.

Spirit world acted out in physical stage...
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book because I thought it was a unique and powerful way to describe the human spirit as it may be reflected in a physical world. I think that after reading this book it definitely helped the rest of the series make sense. Plus the good guys prevailed and that made me feel good too.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sovereign?
Probably about 2/3 of the way through when the allegory really started making sense.
Which character – as performed by Henry Leyva – was your favorite?
Probably Rom.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I have only one word: Surrender.
Any additional comments?
Overall it wasn't easiest read for me. But I gave it 5 stars bc it challenged me, and entertained me, and when the allegory really started to make sense the macabre scenes that are so prevalent didn't seem to bother me so.

Loved it. it's worth a "re- read". Start with the 1st book in the series, Forbidden. Then the 2nd. Immortal. It all comes together in this one. Love Ted Dekker.

Pretty Good
I really enjoyed the whole series but, the ending of the 3rd book seemed a little lackluster. I did however, like the epilog leaving the mystique of what could happen decades later. All in all it was definitely worth listening to the entire trilogy! Very entertaining.

Full of Intriguing Twists!
Another outstanding performance by the orator Henry Leyva of this master piece of fiction written by Ted Dekker and Tosco Lee. I highly recommend buying the book and following along as Leyva dramatically reads you through this captivating novel.
