About this listen

Did you know that the gods can use mobile phones?

They can, and Odin has a message for Conrad....

Conrad Clarke, former RAF pilot and alleged gangster, gets a text – and a visit – from The Allfather.

Odin has a challenge for Conrad: Sign up to protect England from wild magick and get a commission in the King’s Watch.

All he has to do is find a missing witch. Simple.

Conrad never could resist a challenge. Before you can say “Ragnarok”, he’s plunged into a world of gods, mages, witches, dwarves, and one very aggressive giant mole.

But the witch doesn’t want to be found, and powerful mages will kill to keep her hidden. Going back isn’t an option. Going forward looks a lot like death.

Armed with nothing but a sense of humor and a willingness to cheat, Conrad has to find the Witch and save his life.

Superbly narrated by Ciaran Saward, the first two books of the King’s Watch are now available in audio format.

Treat yourself to a copy now and experience a whole new universe of magick. And moles....

The King’s Watch books are excellent. I had found myself up to date with Ben Aaronovitch’s ‘Rivers of London’ series and wanted to find something as intellectual and well written. That can be a stretch with magical fiction! These books are the answer. The narration by Ciara Saward is absolutely top quality. Listeners who claimed his tone was ‘robotic’ clearly don’t understand the accent and mannerisms of an ex-military character from the Southern counties. Ciara is excellent at accents, and there are a lot to cover in this… his Odin is spectacular! There is also a wonderful touch of irony to much of it as well.

The stories are deep and can be quite complicated. Refreshingly, you have to keep on your toes and also accept that there is a lot of depth to the characters which you do not know to start with. This isn’t dumbed down for the hard of thinking. I’m three and a half books in now and loving the journey - highly recommended.
