About this listen

An action-packed flintlock fantasy book about guns, mages, bards, and dragons!

Ulric’s quiet life of exile has been turned upside down. Dellioph is unable to play his music or keep his secrets. Gali, having lost everything, teeters on the brink of despair. And they’re all being chased by dragons, which are nothing like the old stories.

Aari, Col, and Devo continue to pursue the evil sorcerer responsible for the dragons. But as Aari’s memories start to return, doubts come with them. What can she do next to Col, the Spirit of the Earth, and Devo, a hulking, strong fighter? She’s just a girl.

And back in the city of Quinport, Lyrrun of Dwy—who should be retired by now—is left to manage the fallout from the heist and to try to keep the Mastus family out of jail. But this forces him into the middle of a dangerous rivalry between chancellors.

If you listen closely, perhaps you will hear it. Change is coming.

Haven't been this enthralled since The First Law. Really good characters, and Steven Pacey is the GOAT narrator. I hope the third book isn't too far off. Wall is hugely underrated.

Excellent

I had an excellent time listening to this. Steven Pacey made this feel like an epic blockbuster in my head. Steve D Wall is going places. I hope he gets all the recognition he deserves. Looking forward to book 3!!
