About this listen

In this debut novel and series starter, the last member of a murdered House searches for a missing nobleman, and uncovers clues about his own tortured past.

Rune Saint John, the last child of the fallen Sun Court, is hired to search for Lady Judgment's missing son, Addam, on New Atlantis, the island city where the Atlanteans moved after ordinary humans destroyed their original home.

With his companion and bodyguard, Brand, he questions Addam's relatives and business contacts through the highest ranks of the nobles of New Atlantis. But as they investigate, they uncover more than a missing man: a legendary creature connected to the secret of the massacre of Rune's Court. In looking for Addam, can Rune find the truth behind his family's death and the torments of his past?

A fantastic example of a gay fantasy novel which does not completely revolve around the relationship aspect of the story. It builds characters which are not just important or interesting due to their sexual orientation or their relations. This is not to say that there are no meaningful relationships or interactions between characters with Rune, Addam and Brand's relationship not being a conventional rushed sexual relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to the Hanged man with bated breath.

Fantastic listen in both story and voice.

CW rape.

I really enjoyed this book a lot and the world building particularly. The way Arcana work, the way spells work is really fascinating to me and I want to know more. It is also refreshing not to be drowned in heteronormativity. There are explicit retellings of rape scenes. It triggered PTSD for me. I wish I had known this before to prepare myself better.

however, I really didn't enjoy the performance of the narrator. I often couldn't distinguish between different characters. His narration is constantly over the top. There is no real contrast between narration of the thoughts of the characters and action scenes. He is shouting a lot. I recommend to listen to the extract before.

refreshing fantasy story.

Good enough that I listened to the whole thing. But it is the type of work and performance that will appeal to the younger generation.

Bit too teen pop

To begin with, this story seemed to lack sophistication and skill in how the story was developed and the characters felt childish and undeveloped. By the second half, I was much more impressed and the story became much more convoluted with some surprises and twists. Josh Hurley is always a reliable narrator and I enjoy his performances.

Really grew on me
