About this listen

 Beyond the Emperor's law
In the city of Elantra, the law is upheld by a few groups, and the most feared are the Wolves—the Emperor’s executioners. The newest member of this elite force is Severn Handred.

Granted a leave of absence to pursue information about his unknown past, Severn joins a mission to an enclave well outside the boundaries of the Empire. And he will be in danger the entire time. Still, the instincts that led him to the Wolves and the sense of duty that keeps him there can’t be discarded as easily as the tabard he wears.

While he's in the heart of the West March, enmeshed in a tangled web of mysteries that have been held for centuries, Severn's belief in justice is going to be tested. It's one mortal man and his single ally against a community of immortals who will kill to keep their secrets. But they don't know who they're up against.

I knew I wanted to know more and holy hell now I know more. But so much is still unsaid?!
The twirls and twists Michelle takes us on are wonderfully intricate and extremly enticing. Even though I wanted to reach in to the book and shake some of the characters and closed the book and told them they've better not have done what I thought the did... Yeah, I so want more! Pretty please?

And wow! As always this narrator blows my mind with her reading. She is my all time favourite!

Pick it up! Now!

Oh my f-ing gods!
