Summary

The Greatcoats have found the heir to the throne...but now they must keep her alive, against all the odds.

Falcio Val Mond has completed the final task given to him by the late King Paelis: he has found the King's Charoites (well, one at least). But his task isn't over, and now he, Kest and Brasti must protect the girl from those who want her dead.

That would be simple enough, if it weren't for the renegade Knights and legendary Dashini assassins getting in their way - not to mention the Dukes, who are desperate to hold on to their power at any cost; Trin, the merciless daughter of the ruthless Duke of Rijou; and the cruel Duchess of Hervor, who is determined to be Queen of Tristia.

Of course, the fact that the heir to the throne is 13 years old doesn't help, nor the fact that every day brings Falcio closer to dying from the poison running through his veins. And then there is the Greatcoat's Lament....

Ambivalent mc

The story goes from brilliant to meh and back almost as often as the mvh goes from hero to wimp.
Still enjoyable, but could have been better.

Very good second book, but some parts laboured!

Overall this is a very good second book. Builds on the story in the first book, but some parts felt laboured and long winded, and I found myself saying 'for goodness sake get on with it' on more than one occasion. Not a complete spoiler but irritating. Then again there were other parts that were gripping and full of action, really tense and full of twists and turns. Narrator is excellent, so many accents and different voices delivered expertly, so much so that you believe each character exists. In summary well worth a listen.

I love this series

The main characters make me laugh. They are well written and easy to identify with / get behind. Good narrator too.
