About this listen

The problem with court politicians is their ability to stab someone in the back, repeatedly.

Skharr DeathEater, the Barbarian of Theros, friend of dwarves and emperors, is a liability.

The mysterious Dealer in Whispers and Death has let it be known in the right ears he can kill Skharr DeathEater. For a hell of a price.

The Dealer has never failed to kill their target in over the two hundred years of their existence, and they love a good challenge.

Can Skharr get himself out of this challenge? Will his friends allow him to go at it alone?

Even the Emperor is shocked to learn he must wait to find out what happens.

Will Skharr survive the Assassin's Trial for a killing (this time) he didn't commit? If he does, how will he attack a phantom no one can find?

I love this series and I have been hoping this book and the rest of the series would be made into an audiobook. It took a while but this book was great.

A bit more straightforward than previously books but there were the characters I Iike, the humour I enjoy, action and some big changes for my favourite barbarian.

The words/insults directed to Janus always make me laugh. We got to spend time with some of the lesser characters and the barbarians were fun people.

The only downside was Horse was not around much but a book\adventure spent eating apples would be time well spent. I think

The narrator did a fantastic job he really does bring the story to life. I struggled with the book but as an audiobook it was far more enjoyable.

If you liked the previous books you will enjoy this, I was pleased what romance there was was limited as I prefer the humour and adventure aspects of the series.

I eagerly anticipated the next book.

Well worth the wait
