Summary

Ashonn is a bad man who does good deeds for the wrong reasons.

He journeys to the farthest reaches of civilization to vanquish the monstrous creatures conjured by the world of magic. With each strike of his blade, countless minions of darkness fall before him. But even as he becomes a legend in his own right, he is never alone. The death priest Zair and his clever raven Aye Not follow in his wake, tasked with collecting his soul when his inevitable downfall comes, for the evil he has wrought.

In the wilds of Carantania, Ashonn and his unlikely allies must flee from a relentless band of bandits, seeking refuge in the desolate Bleistatter Moor. But the haunted landscape is a living, breathing nightmare—a decaying labyrinth of twisted magic and monstrous horrors that will test their every limit.

As they delve deeper into the Moor, they must confront the rogue wizard who has been cast out of the Arcanum for practicing forbidden magic. Guided by an ancient grimoire, the wizard sets his sights on the Tower of Light, an artifact of untold power that he intends to turn into a weapon capable of destroying a god.

An excellent book and most enjoyable series

This book was a joy to listen to the conversations between the main characters is really well done insults, wit, humour and friendship. I do like Ashonn and Zair is the perfect counterpoint to him.

The story is fully of magic, mythical creatures and battle. The pace is fast but never rushed with enough info to know what is going on and make me interested in the world created. Yet there is a sense of purpose.

The magic in this series is an intriguing mix of runes, blood sacrifice and faith to a death goddess.

I enjoyed Ashonn's views on prophecy and how its regarded in the world as too often prophecy is considered an absolute.

There is some insightful lines too "He had always strived to find his place in the world, but for a killer there were only so many places to go. Soldiers were wanted in war, hated in peace, and were never welcome in a good home."

The narrator did a brilliant job. I am so very pleased this book is available as an audio book as the narrator gives the characters more depth and personality than words alone. The fury of Ashonn and the faith of Zair works better when spoken in my opinion.

This book is less gory than the first book.

The epilogue was fun.

I look forward to the next book and would recommend this series to those who want a self contained series with a small cast of characters.
