Summary
Kinch Na Shannack owes the Takers Guild a small fortune for his education as a thief, which includes (but is not limited to) lock-picking, knife-fighting, wall-scaling, fall-breaking, lie-weaving, trap-making, plus a few small magics. His debt has driven him to lie in wait by the old forest road, planning to rob the next traveler that crosses his path.
But today, Kinch Na Shannack has picked the wrong mark.
Galva is a knight, a survivor of the brutal goblin wars, and handmaiden of the goddess of death. She is searching for her queen, missing since a distant northern city fell to giants.
Unsuccessful in his robbery and lucky to escape with his life, Kinch now finds his fate entangled with Galva's. Common enemies and uncommon dangers force thief and knight on an epic journey where goblins hunger for human flesh, krakens hunt in dark waters, and honor is a luxury few can afford.

Fantasy worth the time and coin
A very classy reading of an absorbing and beautifully written tale. Old Magick, the nasty kind, politic-ing, also the nasty kind, and grimy fantasy fill this story of a thief who falls in with the right wrong crowd.

Excellent
I really enjoyed the story and the characters. I listen to a lot of fantasy and this is one of my favourites this year. I thought the author read it superbly. It allowed him to deliver the book as he intended. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful!
I absolutely loved this! Humour throughout, goblins and giants and assassins and all read in an Irish brogue. Highly recommend!

Very original fantasy Celtic themed
Really enjoyed this book Original story I like the way it ends and I really hope it doesn’t become a series because it suits well as a standalone book. The voice of the narrator was good and it was nice to hear a different accent other than English or American/Canadiana. My only caveat is a bit like Lord of the rings and The Hobbit the songs got a little bit much but it is a Celtic Theme

Fresh, creative, funny fantasy
Great book! Well performed by the author, very well written! A refreshing take on fantasy, and exceptional world building. The back and forth in dialogue between characters was very enjoyable.

Very enjoyable
Very enjoyable book.Would definitely recommend it. Thought the author did a good job narrating it and didn’t find his Irish accent annoying. (speaking as an Irish person myself).

simply wonderful
What an amazing book. Everything about it was "just right" , the characters , the story , the narration. I was watching the duration willing the book not to end but unable to stop listening ! . if the author reads reviews .. if you could have the next part of the story finished in the next month or two that would be much appreciated !

A Classic Formula Made Fresh
Beuhlman does a phenomenal job taking a classic fantasy plot line and breathing fresh and unique life into it. The world building is fascinating, grounded and organically done. Character work is likewise convincing and enjoyable, and while the pacing feels a littler meandering at times it's entirely in keeping with the narrator's perceptive. Buehlman goes the extra mile by featuring wonderful songs aswell.
Excellent narration, it's brilliant to hear the story read directly by the author.
