About this listen
"Strikingly intense...immersive and thoroughly compelling." (SFX)
"Compelling and entertaining...inventive and fun." (SciFiNow)
The war is over, but something is rotten in the state of Eidyn.
With a ragged peace in place, demons burn farmlands, violent Reivers roam the wilds and plague has spread beyond the Black Meadows. The country is on its knees.
In a society that fears and shuns him, Aranok is the first magically-skilled draoidh to be named King's Envoy.
Now, charged with restoring an exiled foreign queen to her throne, he leads a group of strangers across the ravaged country. But at every step, a new mystery complicates their mission.
As bodies drop around them, new threats emerge and lies are revealed, can Aranok bring his companions together and uncover the conspiracy that threatens the kingdom?
Strap in for this twisted fantasy road trip from award-winning author Justin Lee Anderson.

nice twist

This book is so different from carpet diem though that it could have been written by a completely different author. This isn't a bad thing as it looks like the start of an amazing fantasy epic similar to a lot of old authors I used to read.
I love the way Justin has changed from his comedy fantasy to serious fantasy with ease and the way he has decided to write an epic instead of just a one off really adds to it and shows off his talents.
The world building was brilliant with enough detail at anyone point for you to know where they were but not too much that you get bogged down in all the detail.
The characters are also really well written and Justin has written them in such a way that you are really rooting for them throughout.
Overall this is the start of what looks like a brilliant fantasy series and I can't wait to read the next book when it is released.
great first book in the series

Can’t quite work out if this is terrible or genius

Wow. The Lost War completely swept me away. I went in expecting a solid fantasy adventure and got so much more — layered world-building, a cast of flawed but lovable characters, and twists that genuinely shocked me (one in particular had me staring at the page in disbelief!).
Justin Lee Anderson has this amazing balance of heart and humor. The banter between the group feels real, and the emotional moments hit hard. You really feel the weight of everything these characters have been through — the pain, the loyalty, the small flickers of hope.
The pacing is spot on too. There’s action, mystery, and tension, but also quiet, emotional moments that make it all matter. And the ending? Absolutely jaw-dropping. I can’t stop thinking about it and can’t wait to dive into the sequel.
If you like fantasy that’s clever, character-driven, and full of surprises, The Lost War is a must-read. It’s honestly one of the best books I’ve picked up this year.
Amazing twisty fantasy
