Editorial reviews

When We Were Executioners, narrated in breathy, fraught, and tense tones, by Eileen Stevens, is the second installment in the supernatural Dogsland trilogy.

Our heroine and resourceful resident demon child, Rachel Nolander, returns to the town of Dogsland. But this time, her beautiful fellow demon-child lover is dead, and a priest and priestess are doing whatever they can to track Rachel down. These two spiritual warriors want nothing more than to send Rachel back to wherever she came from - surely somewhere below the depths of the grave. A strange and creepy listen.

Publisher's Summary

J. M. McDermott returns to Dogsland in the stunning audiobook When We Were Executioners, the second tale in a sweeping fantasy series that revels in the small details of life.

Corporal Jona, the demon-stained Lord of Joni, died in the woods. His lover, the Senta Rachel Nolander, is a demon-tainted fugitive, running from the wolf skin-clad priest and priestess of Erin, who track her through the city based on dreams plucked from Jona’s crying skull, plotting to cleanse the world of the lovers’ demonic taint. Past and present collide as the tale of two ill-fated outcasts unfolds, and the executioners of Erin grow ever closer to their quarry.
