About this listen

Times have changed for Alwyn Scribe. Once an outlaw, he's now a spymaster and sworn protector of Lady Evadine Courlain, whose visions of a demonic apocalypse have earned her the fanatical devotion of the faithful.

Yet Evadine's growing fame has put her at odds with both Crown and Covenant. As trouble brews in the kingdom, both seek to exploit her position for their own ends.

Sent to the Duchy of Alundia to put down a rebellion, Alwyn must rely on old instincts to fight for his new cause. Deadly feuds and ancient secrets are laid bare as war erupts, a war that will decide the fate of the Kingdom of Albermaine and, perhaps, prevent the coming of the prophesied Second Scourge.

The Martyr is the sequel to The Pariah and continues the ruthless and gripping fantasy epic from New York Times bestseller Anthony Ryan, whose books have sold more than a million copies worldwide.

It's been some time since I read or listened to a book that was this hard to put down.

Spellbinding!

I really enjoyed this book and the storyline is very intriguing and fresh compared to other new fantasy books I've read recently. The depth and description provided for all the characters are amazing. The growth that the author's writing from Raven's shadow to Raven's Blade to Covenant of steel is evident in this book.

This is a solid sequel.

Better than the curse book which was extremely good. The increasing amount of mystic elements have me hooked! Straight to book 3 for me!

Loved it from beginning to end. As is the case with most sequels, the reading the first book before this one is recommended for most of the context and world building, though this title provides enough background information on its own to get you into the story. It does feel a bit like a bridge between the first book and the next one (probably last of the series), but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Lovely sequel
