About this listen
'Brilliant and vivid world-building . . . riveting' CHAD STAHLESKI, director of John Wick
'A masterful blend of Sebastien de Castell's unique brand of wry humour, elegant prose, and wonderfully imaginative worldbuilding. I devoured this book and loved every page' NICK EAMES, bestselling author of Kings of the Wylde
From the bestselling author of THE GREATCOATS: seven war mages with dark pasts must come together to fight an unknown enemy - but the stakes are higher than anyone can imagine . . . and someone's setting the seven up for a fall.
Picture a wizard. Go ahead, close your eyes. There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. The hat's a must, too, right? Big, floppy thing. Wouldn't want a simple steel helmet or something that might, you know, protect the part of him most needed for conjuring magical forces from being bashed in with a mace (or pretty much any household object).
Yep. Behold the mighty wizard.
Now open your eyes and let me show you what a real war mage looks like . . . but be warned: you're probably not going to like it, because we're violent, angry, dangerously broken people who sell our skills to the highest bidder and be damned to any moral or ethical considerations.
My name is Cade Ombra, and though I currently make my living as a mercenary wonderist, I used to have a far more noble-sounding job title - until I discovered the people I worked for weren't quite as noble as I'd believed. Now I'm on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent.
Time to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job . . .

Unexpected gem
Fantasy, swords & sorcery. Not the type of thing I’d usually go for, but thought I’d try something different. Great book to listen to on the go,as you don’t need to concentrate to keep up with the storyline. The author absolutely makes it for me. He really does help you create the visuals of the characters and story.

First rate story
Just the right amount of humour and gore and if there’s another in the series I will be looking forward to hearing it

Exciting, original story & excellent narration
I really enjoyed this book & do hope there will be sequels. I found the originality of the story & the multiple twists & turns kept me enthralled. Joe Jameson's narration was perfect, as usual. It's a while since I have heard him narrating & I had forgotten just how good he is.

Lots of fun
This was a fun book, I loved the characters and can't wait to find out what happens next. The narrator is really good, has distinct voices for each character which really helps you keep track of the action. It's not for the faint hearted as there is lots of swearing, guts and gore (probably why I liked it!) Heartily recommended.

Extremely enjoyable and roustabout book, full of adventure, humour, intrigue and wonderful characters. Excellent world-building. The narrator, Joe Jameson is very accomplished and enhances the story. Can’t wait for the next one!

A tongue in cheek, rip roaring, irreverent, fantasy adventure.
Funny, totally relatable characters within a magic system that subverts the usual fantasy tropes. Leave your usual expectations behind and you’re in for a thrilling ride with a side dose of laugh out loud dialogue.

Enjoyable once it gets going
Takes a while for all the jargon to click and for me it suffered in comparison having just finished listening to all of Joe Abercrombie’s First Law books but overall this is an enjoyable and irreverent read.
