Summary
Ashonn is a bad man who does good deeds for the wrong reasons.
As a slayer, he travels to the edges of civilization killing monsters that the world of magic creates. Countless minions of darkness have fallen by his hand. Yet Ashonn is capable of mercy. Encountering a death priest by the name of Zair, he spares his life despite the knowledge that the priest is there to collect his soul if he's slain.
The unlikely pair journey together to Cloven Hill to investigate rumors of necromancy. There they discover the town destroyed by a war between humans and demi-humans. The area is a graveyard ripe for the plucking by a necromancer armed with a book that could bring forth an Army of Bone.
Were the necromancer to succeed, the world would be plunged into the Endless Night--a notion Ashonn finds quite compelling. This leaves the slayer with a difficult decision. Should he battle the Shadow Lords invading his territory? Or seize their powers and rule the world as a dark god?

A brilliant book
I was not sure what to expect with this title but it was a wonderful experience. I really liked the rune based magic system, the world created, the sense of mystery and the humour very much.
A story about monsters with mention of a death god made me concerned about the level of detail used and graphic gore. This book got the balance just right, in my opinion. The humour and how the characters interact keep thing from getting too dark.
The pace of the book is perfect, there is detail but does not get boring the book is just as long as it needs to be.
There is some really good descriptions and language used, words like "basal" for a tone of voice and it was easy to picture what was happening.
The narrator did a great job and deserves credit and thanks, I hope the narrator will work on more books.
I eagerly anticipated the next book. This book well worth listening to.
