A prophecy of keys has been set in motion, and darkness will rule again if the game is not played.

For one thousand years, a peace law has ruled over the realm of Raymara with an iron fist. When a storyteller unleashes five deadly beasts from the magic of his dreams, the once-harmless land is thrown into chaos.

Five unlikely companions embark on a harrowing quest to find the beasts and return them to the pages from which they were created. Little do they know, they've been given a task much greater than they've bargained for.

Of Liars and Thieves is an epic tale of discovery, friendship, love, and betrayal. Perfect for fans of Hafsah Faizal and Patrick Rothfuss.

It was a well written story with a nice bunch of characters, but the story itself was a bit weak and boring until the very end. It was more about the relationships between the main characters and I lost interest after a while. It picked up at the very end.

Nice story, but...

First of all, I really really like the narrator. He reads at a great pace with lots of character voices and clear love of this kind of literature.
The writing leaves intrigue and suspense trails and tells a fab story in an enchanted place. Whilst there’s a few quirks to the authors style, such as repeating some descriptive words closely together, this doesn’t take away from the story she has crafted. Overall, I really liked it.

Narrator fantastic, story intriguing

This is a an engaging high fantasy story of a band of misfits sent on a somewhat mysterious mission.

The story is engaging and well-paced, and the world is vividly described, without descriptive passages becoming long or turgid. The author employs some common fantasy motifs, but presents them in an accessible way that feels up to date, with enough humour and levity to welcome those who may not already be immersed in the genre. As someone who is not a regular fantasy reader, there were perhaps a handful of instances in the first half of the book where I felt that aspects of the world were a touch over explained - although these were generally few and may not bother another listener. The novel was at its best for me when it maintained an air of mystery, and there was certainly enough of this to keep me wanting to discover more. I listened to a review copy, but it was an enjoyable experience and at the end I did feel that I wanted to stay in the world and continue with the characters’ stories.

The audiobook is convincingly narrated in a way that adds to the story. The narrator has a mellifluous voice and was able to use accents and tone confidently to add further colour and personality to the characters.

For parents: there are some sexual references, which are generally mild (especially by current standards) and a few instances of bad language, though not strong.

Accessible and modern fantasy

I am not generally a huge fan of the fantasy genre. I read (or occasionally listen to) fiction of all sorts. What I like is a good story, well told! On the whole this is what I found in Of Liars & Thieves. I felt the character development was interesting, the characters were likeable/ believable within the story. I liked the way the writer created worlds and the story without getting too bogged down with endless description. I was interested to return to the story & find out what happened next. There were a few small passages where I thought the outcome was a little predictable but on the whole I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely look out for the next instalment in The Raymara Chronicles.
This narrator added greatly to this story. He has a brilliant voice, his pace and intonation were fantastic. The distinctive voices of each of the characters really keep my interest. I generally read rather than listen to books as I often feel that narration lets the story down. The opposite was definitely the case here!
If you are a fan of fantasy (or even if you are not particularly) I really recommend you give this a listen.

A great story beautifully told!

I thought I would give this a try as I’ve listened to previous books narrated by Toby Smith and loved his range of character voices and story interpretation, I wasn’t disappointed as the author also delivers an exciting story with fantastic beasts, monsters and an intriguing assortment of heroes and villains including dwarves and fairies. The narrator really brings the story to life and I found myself eager to move from chapter to chapter. I’d thoroughly recommend this book. If you like Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings you’ll love this!

An exciting story, brilliantly narrated.
