About this listen

The thrilling sequel to GODBLIND, the biggest fantasy debut of 2017.

The Wolves lie dead beside Rilpor’s soldiers, slaughtered at the hands of the Mireces and their fanatical army.

The veil that once kept the Red Gods at bay has been left in tatters as the Dark Lady’s plans for the world come to fruition. Where the gods walk, blood is spilled on the earth.

All that stands between the Mireces army and complete control of the Kingdom of Rilpor are the walls of its capital, Rilporin, and those besieged inside.

But hope might yet bloom in the unlikeliest of places: in the heart of a former slave, in the mind of a soldier with the eyes of a fox, and in the hands of a general destined to be king.

"An unrelenting, heart-hammering, merciless thrill ride." (The Fantasy Hive)

More combat, a huge siege which spans much of the book and doesn't tire, as well as twists and turns and emotions and humour.

This sequel propels the story onward and leaves you excited for more. Roll on book three!

Action-packed step-up of a sequel.

The Siege begins, but who is more at risk, those inside the City or those outside for there is discontent between allies which does not bode well.

Some second books tend to lag for a breather, but not this one. The momentum builds and builds; there is no let-up; there is no mercy; just death.

Just re listened to this in preparation for Bloodchild, I'd almost forgotten how wonderful it is, even though I recommend the series all the time. It's brutal, character driven, heart wrenching, funny... Maggie Ollerenshaw's narration is perfect, Anna's writing is fabulous.

Fabulous

Not quite as depressing as book 1, but close! Also a little too heavy on the blood and gore for me.
