About this listen

The Greatcoats - legendary heroes, arbiters of justice...or notorious traitors?

The Greatcoats are travelling magistrates bringing justice to all...or at least they were, before they watched the Dukes impale their King's head on a spike.

Now the land's heroes are reviled as traitors, their Greatcoats in tatters. Facio, Kest and Brasti have been reduced to working as mercenaries, but when they find their employer dead - and are forced to watch as the killer plants evidence framing them for the murder - they realise things are about to get even worse.

For the royal conspiracy that began with overthrowing an idealistic young king is spreading to Rijou, the most corrupt city in the land, and the life of a young girl hangs in the balance.

When every noble is a tyrant and every knight is a thug, the only thing you can really trust is a traitor's blade.

I read / listen to a lot of fantasy. Occasionally, it (like most good things) can become a little samey. I’d had ‘Traitor’s Blade’ in my wish list for some time and decided to give it a whirl. Almost unenthusiastically, if I’m honest. As I said, I’ve pounded this genre mercilessly.

All I can say is, I’m so pleased I did. It has the usual array of magic, political intrigue, evil & good. However, it also possesses characters you believe in and want to hear more about. It makes you laugh, feel squeamish, sad and angry in equal measure.

However, most importantly for me, it held my interest throughout and left me wanting more.

Excellent stuff, Monsieur de Castell.

I shan’t go on forever, but I also must give plaudits to the narrator, Joe Jameson. He made a great book even better.

If this type of thing is your bag, definitely give it a listen.....
