About this listen

"I shall baptize you, sir, and my baptism will burn your folly and flesh away!"

A year has passed since Auric Manteo descended into the haunted depths of a Djao ruin to return a lethal artifact, only to face down a bloodthirsty, imprisoned god. Now, his daughter, Agnes, comes to bring him back to the capital with promises of hidden secrets finally revealed.

But the city decays, poisonous disorder is rife, and whispered prophecy foretells of cataclysm and doom. Summoned by their no-longer human queen, Auric and Agnes are commanded to carry out an impossible task, one that can be accomplished only with the mysterious blade, Szaa’da’shaela, gifted to Auric on a lunatic's whim.

Can Auric and his daughter survive a journey fraught with blood, menace, and madness? And can they pay the price demanded by a being every bit as evil as the Aching God?

I came to this trilogy due to the narrator, Simon Vance, whom I have immensely enjoyed through his Dickens performances. So you may not think me a fantasy aficionado 🙂. However Mike Shel’s books are taking me back to my youth of fighting fantasy, D&D and adventure. He also takes the time to explore his characters and develop an understanding of their motivations and decisions. And perhaps there is some of his views on society and religion mixed in too. I hope he explores a little more of the other nations of this world in the third book.

In the best traditions of D&D fantasy

Great story, great characters. Simon Vance is as excellent as ever. Have not enjoyed a book series so much in a long time.

Excellent sequel

A very solid sequel to Aching God, seeing the world fleshed out in more detail was a real delight. I've been hooked on both books in the Iconoclasts series and I'm very excited to start the third.

An excellent follow up

I’m a tabletop roleplayer and if you are too then I guarantee you will get something very special from this trilogy-Inspiration by the bucket load. It takes an adventure party trope and does something deliciously novel (see what I did there) and gives you story that you can’t help but wish you were either playing or GMing. I don’t want to give anything away about the story apart from its awesome, but you will wish this was a game.
The world building is spot on and the reveals are so tantalising you can’t wait to find out more.
Audible’s top notch narrator Simon Vance does not disappoint (when does he ever) and if you want a listen that will get your creative juices flowing this is it!

Fantastic
