I’ve spent my life hunting the daemon who killed my parents. I swore long ago to do anything necessary, including summoning the deadly creatures to hunt for clues. When Azimuth, a sweet-talking daemon with ice-blue eyes and a voice like butter, shows up dangling the knowledge I seek in return for a high-risk job, I feel compelled to accept his offer. Sure, I’m wary of the helpful daemon, but the prize is too tempting to pass up. So what if my pulse races when he touches me or I can’t stop thinking about how his lips will feel on my skin?

Exceptionally Well Written and Narrated Standalone
- By Lachlan Kendall on 23-03-18
Summary
How far does camaraderie stretch, when it’s life and death?
Demon’s Deep mine is out of action. The miners are missing, and psychotic savages - The Unbound - have taken it over. Unfortunately, where the Unbound go, bad magic follows. Magic which mutates living things, and liquefies rock.
Kiprik, long suffering leader of his elite snatch squad, must rescue the miners before army commanders run out of patience and start pumping poison gas. With his meat-headed corporal and loyal friend Stack at his side, he’ll face up to any threat, and stick an axe in its face, so long as the sneering Padre Brax doesn’t get in the way.
But this is a task which will see Kiprik and his crew going to the very bottom of the mine, where the deepest magic and the darkest truths lurk.
Will honor and camaraderie be enough?
Join Kiprik and the boys on this heart wrenching, epic fantasy adventure. If you enjoy complex characters, gorgeous settings and a big, big world, you’ll love this.

Need more!
Feels like the emergence of an epic fantasy! Thoroughly well written and enjoyable and I really hope to see more releases set in this world soon!
Great narration; all characters are well differentiated with good voices and the general reading is done very well too. Nigel has an essence of a theatrical sound to some of his reading but certainly not detrimental in any way.
Both author and Nigel are just a short step from achieving the 5 star rating, which possibly had the book been longer may have been given.
I liked the use of the sound effects, they were not overpowering as some can be.
All in all, highly enjoyable and would love to hear more from this pairing!!
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

A Dark, Gritty, Exciting Adventure Fantasy
An exciting, engrossing, violent fantasy novella, Ranker’s Charge has all of the great stuff we want from adventure fantasy. There are rough, rude characters, grisly battles, and horrifying creatures. In a short space, Stevens builds a complex and original world. Carrying on the traditions of Robert E. Howard, S.P. Stevens’s Ranker’s Charge is sure to please fans of raw, dark fantasy adventures. The narration here is deliciously sinister and macabre, perfectly suited to the content.

A fun but short adventure.
I don’t usually like dramatization in audiobooks but this one balances it really well and I enjoyed it. Interesting characters are the main strength of the story with the limited world building making it feel like a prequel. The world itself reminds me of Dragon Age with the unbound being reminiscent of the darkspawn. Overall it was a fun but brief ride but I’d be interested in what happens next.

Ok story
The story was interesting in this book, but I never could get into it and just really want to listen to this book. The narrator was very good, but I don't really enjoy when audiobooks put in sound effects and music at every turn/chapter.
I would give this author and narrator another go, but this really wasn't one of my favorite books. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't my favorite.
