About this listen

 Power-hungry Kalare has rebelled against Alera's aging First Lord, Gaius Sextus. Ill-equipped to face this attack, Gaius must seek support - even from the combative High Lord of Aquitaine. Kalare has also seized valuable hostages that could mean the difference between victory and failure. And Amara, the First Lord's Cursor, has been tasked with their rescue. She has earned this trust but are her allies as worthy - or does the Lady Aquitaine see the time as ripe for betrayal?

Treachery is rife elsewhere, as young Tavi of Calderon will find. Posted away from the war, Tavi joins a legion anyway, under an assumed name. Then Kalare does the unthinkable - uniting with the brutish Canim. When treason wipes out the army's command structure, Tavi finds himself leading an inexperienced legion against the might of the Canim horde - the very last resort of a war-torn realm.

A note for the listener: the previous audiobook narration contained sound effects (including trumpets) these have since been removed from the recording. If you already own this title in audio, please re-download the audiobook to your device.©2006 Jim Butcher Fantasy Fiction Science Fiction

I loved this book, it's a particularly strong addition to this excellent series. I can't stand the seemingly random fanfares that have been added to the story however. They break up dialogue and moments of tension for too often and serve no purpose.

Great story, marred by odd sound effects

I really like the characters for this series and they go through a LOT of development in this one, but I had to dock a star because of the bloody horn sound affects that break the immersion. I don't know when they choose to put them in, but occasionally I've noticed them within a single conversation. maybe the was a perspective change or something, I don't remember, but they snap me right out of it.

in this day and age, you should be able to tag sounds like that and optionally disable them from the app.

great story, shame about the sound effects

I have no idea why it is randomly punctuated with brass horns playing? It could be a glitch on my download I suppose but it just comes out of nowhere and doesn’t seem to be connected to events in the narrative.. like I said, possibly a glitch.


The story is great, the performance is very good as well, only Chilopoda one star off due to the horn thing..

Good story
