The King's Blood

By: Daniel Abraham

Narrated by: Pete Bradbury

War and madness cast shadows over the lands dragons once ruled.

Geder Palliako's star is rising. He is a hero of Antea, protector to the crown prince, and darling of the court. But storms from his past are gathering, and with them, a war that will change everything.

Cithrin bel Sarcour founded a powerful bank on stolen wealth, forged papers, and ready blades. Now every move she makes is observed, recorded, and controlled. Unless Cithrin can free herself from her gilded cage, the life she made will be for naught; war may provide just the opportunity she needs.

An apostate priest sees the hidden hand behind all: a long-buried secret of the dragon empire threatens everything humanity has built. An age of madness and death approaches, with only a few doomed heroes to stand in its way.

Enjoyed.

Great narrator, easy to listen. The story keeps you listening, hard to put down. Very good

Solid Fantasy Listen

Abraham does an excellent job of intertwining his characters in this sophomore book of the series. Expansion of the world and the themes is done very well. I continue to love the banking aspect of the series which is unique to the genre.

Excellent follow up from the first book!

I really enjoy the detailed descriptions and the complexity if the characters. I'm looking forward to starting the next book in this series!

Keeps getting better with every chapter.

I'm on book 4 right now, but wanted to take a minute to come back and pay my respect for these books. So far the journey has been well worth the credits. There are too many subpar books floating out there in audible-verse that when you have a series as good as this one, you have to take full advantage of it being available. Don't miss out!
Pete Bradbury continues to do amazing work with his narrative skills.

Beware false idols...

This continues the sprawling saga that has schemes inside of schemes.... probably. Geder, Marcus and Cithrin continue to weave their own tales in amongst court intrigue to court insurrection. Herein we finally have the stage set for a war and it’s easy to say who the villain is but each character has flaws and proud moments that make you forego the rather obvious set up and leaves you asking, how far does this go?
