Fray's expertise with magic is needed to catch the killer, but working with the Watch destroyed his father years before.

Choss is a champion fighter trying to diffuse a war in the underworld that threatens to turn the streets red with rivers of blood.

Katja is a spy from a foreign land attempting to prevent a massacre that will topple two dynasties and destroy the fragile peace in the city forever.

The previous book was about the war but this was just the start. This book focuses on some of the aftermath and the continuing fight again evil magic. Crime families, guardians, royalty and magic are a great combination.

From war to intrigue

Preferred the first book & characters but still an enjoyable story. Voice actor was excellent.

interesting story

I re-read my summary from the first book and was unsure what I meant. The story is good but the narrator has no storytelling skills. I wasn’t clear previously so I will this time, don’t buy this and expect anything other than a flat reading with clear pronunciation. The story is good inter twining threads being resolved efficiently and a prelude of the next story. So will I listen to the next one? I noted it is the same narrator so maybe I need to leave it for a while to forget a little how much it affects my enjoyment.

Meh

Still a good listen and going straight to the next one in the series. Worth getting if you enjoyed Battle Mage.

Enjoyed the continuation

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I really enjoyed the espionage storylines and the investigation into the series of murders. Great fun and a very different feel to the previous book.

An engaging listen
