About this listen

Praise be to Our Lady of Eternal Sorrows, and blessed be the Ascended Martyr.' Those were the words on lips of the faithful: Blessed be the Ascended Martyr, and woe betide you if you thought otherwise. The word Unbeliever had become a death sentence on the streets in those days.

Gangster, soldier, priest. Governor, knight, and above all, Queen's Man.

Once, Tomas Piety looked after his men, body and soul, as best he could. Then those who ran his country decided his dark talents would better serve in the corridors of power.

Crushed by the power of the Queen's Men and with the Skanian menace rising once more on the streets of Ellinburg, Tomas Piety is forced to turn to old friends, old debts and untrustworthy alliances.

Meanwhile in the capital city of Dannsburg, Dieter Vogel is beginning to wonder if the horror he has unleashed in the Martyr's Disciples might be getting out of control.

With revolution brewing and tragedy and terrorism running rife in the cities, Piety and Vogel must each weigh the cost of a crown.

A gripping end to a magnificent series.

An amazing series. One thing about Tomas Piety that initially gave me pause was how repetitive a few inner monologues were, but I trusted the quality of the writing, and the depth of character. Tomas is very much a person obsessively circling the topics of Power, Politics, Lies, Violence, Corruption, and the Justifications that are used to cope and act! This novel delivers a gripping end to a magnificent series.

Sublime to the end

The series is brutal, sweary and incredible. Do yourself a favour and listen to all of them, I’m looking forward to Going back to the start and doing a War for the Rose Throne marathon.

Narration is top notch.

Explosively Epic Tale.

'Praise be to Our Lady of Eternal Sorrows, and blessed be the Ascended Martyr' for this magnificent series. Let's raise a glass of brandy to the real Tomas Piety, the man himself Peter McLean for bringing this amazing story to our lives. What an ending to a truly, thrilling political epic grimalicious tale of one man's story from the slums of Ellinburg, to the grand heights of Dannsburg. I absolutely loved this series, it's so good I didn't want it to end so I took my time with the last book after burning through the last three. The final book the Priest Of Crowns was bigger, better, It was fun, full of drama, heart breaking, explosive (literally) and if you love your fantasy to be action packed with battles, magic and political scheming, then look no further than War For The Rose Throne. Tomas was once a bricklayers apprentice, gangster and leader of the Pious Men, but the choices Tomas must make now are for the good of the realm and to reach those goals Tomas must become a monster, a man who does not fear to take the hardest road which could cost him everything his friends and possibly his sanity. Beautifully written, witty, full of twists and turns and a plot to die for, I absolutely implore and very highly recommend. 😁🔥💥🖤🥃🥃🥃
