About this listen
"Strikingly intense...immersive and thoroughly compelling." (SFX)
"Compelling and entertaining...inventive and fun." (SciFiNow)
The war is over, but something is rotten in the state of Eidyn.
With a ragged peace in place, demons burn farmlands, violent Reivers roam the wilds and plague has spread beyond the Black Meadows. The country is on its knees.
In a society that fears and shuns him, Aranok is the first magically-skilled draoidh to be named King's Envoy.
Now, charged with restoring an exiled foreign queen to her throne, he leads a group of strangers across the ravaged country. But at every step, a new mystery complicates their mission.
As bodies drop around them, new threats emerge and lies are revealed, can Aranok bring his companions together and uncover the conspiracy that threatens the kingdom?
Strap in for this twisted fantasy road trip from award-winning author Justin Lee Anderson.

While initially it reminded me a little of David Gemmell’s and John Gwynne’s books, I soon started getting some The Last Of Us vibes, too, but it also felt a touch modern due to a few time loops further down the story.
There was a great set of characters, who while cast into a traditional D&D set-up still felt fresh and vibrant. Loved the monsters, too! :)
I look forward to picking up the upcoming instalments of this series.
Enjoyable epic fantasy with modern touches

This book is so different from carpet diem though that it could have been written by a completely different author. This isn't a bad thing as it looks like the start of an amazing fantasy epic similar to a lot of old authors I used to read.
I love the way Justin has changed from his comedy fantasy to serious fantasy with ease and the way he has decided to write an epic instead of just a one off really adds to it and shows off his talents.
The world building was brilliant with enough detail at anyone point for you to know where they were but not too much that you get bogged down in all the detail.
The characters are also really well written and Justin has written them in such a way that you are really rooting for them throughout.
Overall this is the start of what looks like a brilliant fantasy series and I can't wait to read the next book when it is released.
great first book in the series
