  2. He reunites with an ally from the loop (Audible summary).
  3. He prepares for an international tournament where the world's most powerful practitioners compete for dominance (Audible summary).
  4. A continent-shattering catastrophe is approaching, and only Ian can stop it (Audible summary).
  5. Audible lists 12 hours 3 minutes, narrated by Joe Hempel.

Where the Book Leaves Off

The summary stops at the tournament preparation and the approaching catastrophe. Book 3 opens with powerful forces threatening the Western world and the Eldemari and a descendant vanquisher wanting Ian dead, so Book 2 hands off at that escalation, though the exact last scene is not recorded.
