About this listen
From the critically acclaimed author of THE BROKEN EMPIRE series comes a brilliant new epic fantasy series, THE RED QUEEN’S WAR.
The Red Queen is old but the kings of the Broken Empire fear her as they fear no other.
Her grandson Jalan Kendeth is a coward, a cheat and a womaniser; and tenth in line to the throne. While his grandmother shapes the destiny of millions, Prince Jalan pursues his debauched pleasures. Until he gets entangled with Snorri ver Snagason, a huge Norse axe man, and dragged against his will to the icy north.
In a journey across half the Broken Empire, Jalan flees minions of the Dead King, agrees to duel an upstart prince named Jorg Ancrath, and meets the ice witch, Skilfar, all the time seeking a way to part company with Snorri before the Norseman’s quest leads them to face his enemies in the black fort on the edge of the Bitter Ice.
PRINCE OF FOOLS is the first book in the series.

‘A savage voice which is telling you a good jest while trying to drown you in story’
ROBERT LOW (Author of the Kingdom Series and the Oathsworn Series)
‘Really excellent, gritty fantasy – I'm trying to avoid comparison with GAME OF THRONES, but I'm afraid it’s right there. But funnier. Very funny indeed’
YA and Carnegie-shortlisted author ANTHONY MCGOWAN

Fast-paced, funny and heartbreaking
Would you consider the audio edition of Prince of Fools to be better than the print version?
I do not know, since I have not read the print version, but Sean Ohlendorf brings the story to life in a magnificent way.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jalan and Snorri both. It is not possible to choose, since they contrast each other so well.

A bit much like Got but lovely
Very fun and witty book and an excellent performance.
The creatures/universe seems a bit too similar to Game of Thrones but it's still quite awesome.

started good but not witty enough for me
the character set up was good but I soon bored of just two characters and the shallow storyline. Not a big zombie fan.
