About this listen

Part lawman, part tracker, and part magician, the Wardens are monster-hunters - tasked with protecting the people from the various, nightmarish creatures that have invaded the world of men.

For most of his life, 16-year-old Errol Magnus categorically rejected the idea of being a Warden. Growing up right next to the Badlands, he encountered enough bloodthirsty monsters in the ordinary course of events; he’d never seen much sense in assuming a post that required you to actively seek them out.

Recently, however, while competently and capably serving as Warden on behalf of his missing brother Tom, Errol’s had a change of heart. Now, for reasons of his own, he desperately wants the position. Unfortunately, being officially appointed Warden not only requires that Errol’s skills be tested by his peers, but that he also make a perilous journey to the city of Apolos in order to be examined by the high Warden himself.

Traveling with a group of colleagues, Errol thinks all danger is behind them once they reach the safety of the city. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Something has followed them out of the Badlands, and - one by one - his traveling companions are being viciously slain by something...inhuman. It’s up to Errol to find the creature and bring its killing spree to a halt, before he himself winds up the next victim.

This book continues the Warden series. It starts as most of the books with Errol going out to take care of a routine issue. It gets more involved when he is summoned to the Warden headquarters for his evaluation. Events then proceed and he is to learn that the world is not as he had imagined it to be. He becomes involved in tracking down a monster who has killed members of his traveling team and discovers that they also have emotions beyond what he has ever imagined. A very good book that kept my attention from start to finish. Except for the length it could be a one sitting listen. The narrator did a fantastic job as he always does.I very much hope the next book will also appear in audio.

In this third book in the series, the headline monster is probably less important than the world-building that vastly expands the reader's knowledge of the wider society of wardens including a number of new characters that seem likely to return in future books and the introduction of a new arc that indicates that there is something special about Errol, who has also now realised that he likes being a warden and living where he does too.

The narrator's performance is a good one that nicely enhances the overall book with a clear and distinctive tone that helps to bring the characters to life even more.

Overall, another enjoyable book in this series that also sets things up nicely for future books too.

Some well timed humour moments making this a great tale to listen too ,even if the story plot and ending was a little obvious.
We find out a bit more about the wendigo dagger and our wardens fame, and its meaning along with meeting some well constructed characters.
Very enjoyable listen and a quality narration.

Satisfactory Story

Wow!!!! I really enjoyed this book. The author has a great imagination and it comes across so well in his writing, so much so that you know that what every weird and wonderful creature he writes about you are going to enjoy. The main character helps with the plot to, as he is so likeable and combine that with a world class narrator and you have one excellent book. Just wish it was longer.
16 year Errol is acting warden while his brother is missing and three of his peers need to put his skills to the test. But fighting monsters and keeping his village safe is not enough and he must travel through the bad lands, where the monsters live. It seems news of his previous conquests (I highly recommend both previous books) has got back to head quarters and the higher ups want to see him for themselves. On the way the travellers make a big mistake that follows them to the big city, where it seems that not even head quarters is safe from monsters and bodies start to pile up.
The narrator is one of my favourite readers and I would get the book just because I know he will do an excellent job with the story-good job the story is excellent too.

Sit back and attack this book, it is well worth it
