About this listen

The stakes have never been higher.

The world is teetering on the brink of annihilation. The Lords Celestine and the Lords Devilish, celestial and infernal beings locked in an age-old enmity, have at last found the perfect battlefield for their apocalyptic Great Crusade: the mortal realm.

Cade Ombra, former Glorian Justiciar turned mercenary wonderist, leads a band of emotionally unstable mages in a desperate bid to prevent the impending clash of divine and diabolical titans. Failure will leave humanity to be conscripted into an eternal war, serving as foot soldiers doomed to oblivion.

The mission seems impossible, but Cade and the Malevolent Seven aren't exactly pacifists, so they're determined to bring peace no matter how many people they have to kill first. With wit as sharp as their blades and a moral compass that points only toward survival, they're ready to cut down anyone in their path to stop the war before it begins.

Prepare for a whirlwind of dark magic, irreverent humour and relentless action in The Malevolent Eight: The Bad, The Worse and The Wicked. The fate of the humanity hangs in the balance, and only the most malevolent can hope to save it.

That was just beautiful Cade and his band of merry weirdo wonderist. I enjoyed every minute of this book. In fact the narrator did a wonderful job bringing each character to life. The end was satisfying and that one scene that involves a hateful little 11 year old shot was extra lovely. I hope there are more books in this series because I will miss these characters.

motherf****r that was AWESOME

Query fantasy with insane characters and a foul mouthed killer kangaroo. So glad this has become a series and can’t wait for the next instalment.
