About this listen

'Sprawling in scope, forged with depth of lore and living history, full of betrayals and deaths and twists and epic battles' Grimdark Magazine

A NEW AGE HAS DAWNED. AN AGE OF BLOOD AND STEEL.
AN AGE OF WRATH.

The land of Ascarlia, a fabled realm of bloodied steel and epic sagas, has been ruled by the Sister Queens for centuries. No one has dared question their rule.

Until now.

Whispers speak of longships of mysterious tattooed warriors, sailing under the banners of a murderous cult of oath-breakers long thought extinct. A tide of black steel that threatens to vanquish all in its path.

Thera of the Blackspear, favoured servant of the Sister Queens, is ordered to uncover the truth. As Thera sails north, her reviled brother, Felnir, sets out on his own adventure. He hopes to find the Vault of the Altvar - the treasure room of the gods - and win the Sister Queens' favour at his sister's expense.

Both siblings - along with a brilliant young scribe and a prisoner with a terrifying, primal power - will play a part in the coming storm.

The Age of Wrath has begun.

A Tide of Black Steel begins a new blockbuster epic fantasy series from international bestseller Anthony Ryan, whose books have sold more than a million copies worldwide.

As always Anthony Ryan gave us a great story and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it is somewhat connected to the Covenant of Steel series. I really enjoyed this gritty nordic-style story and can't wait for the next book. Sadly, it will likely be narrated/read by Steven Brand again. The only downside (at least for me) to any of A. Ryan's audiobooks is Mr. Brand's somniferous narration.

epic & gritty nordic-style story

Anthony Ryan always starts off another new series with a bang, I’ve always enjoyed the ride before and still do now.

Like I said I didn’t realize this was a continuation of the previous series but luckily I could vaguely remember what happens and there’s only a mention or two of the previous series. It Picks up decades later on a 'not so forgotten' plot point that vanished in book 2 of Covenant of steel.

Took me a little while to know who was who as there’s a few more POV’s than the usual book but started strong and I’ll keep my eye out for the sequel.

I didn’t realise this was a sequel series to Covenant of Steel
