About this listen
The king is dead. She's still alive. The revolution is yet to come... The riveting adventure continues in the sequel to Evan Leikam's breakout fantasy debut Anji Kills a King.
Anji has survived a dozen different deaths. The king is dead, her family is dead, the fabled mercenaries of the Menagerie are dead--and she's still here, the price that was on her head now jingling as coins in her own pocket.
In the wake of her journey, the city she once called home has changed, and a revolution is brewing in a camp on the riverbank. A revolution Anji's new windfall could fund. But building a bright new kingdom won't be as simple as cutting one king's throat... and in a city of dark alleys and desperate times, her path will take her to shadowy places she never could have expected.
Rebellion and ruin await in the gripping second installment of Evan Leikam's debut fantasy series, perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, R.F. Kuang, and Nicholas Eames.

"A stunning debut, fast-paced and as grim as grimdark gets, relentless till the end."—Glen Cook, author of The Black Company
"Leikam catapults onto the scene with this unforgettable debut that adds a refreshing new note to the beloved choir of dark fantasy. Fans of breakneck pacing, quippy characters, and grimdark with heart should run, not walk, to the bookstore for this one."—M.J. Kuhn, author of Among Thieves and Thick as Thieves
"A spellbinding, cleverly layered tale of resilience and unshakable spirit. A true grimdark fantasy adventure!"—Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade

Leikam’s grim, yet often charming debut won’t let readers escape its riveting pages."—Library Journal (starred review)
