About this listen

A killer walks among the rich and powerful. Who can the Magebreakers trust? Someone is killing the non-magical members of Senate houses - those who might one day be named Protector of the Realm. And that same someone is leaving behind messages for the Magebreakers beside symbols of the shadowy organization known as the Knights of the Emperor.

Under suspicion from the constabulary, Tane and Kadka are drawn into the investigation to prove their innocence. What they find is that Audish politics are as dangerous as any Porthaven back alley. Suddenly, they're surrounded by the most powerful figures in the realm, everyone with a different agenda. Telling allies from enemies has never been harder, but Tane and Kadka will have to find someone to trust if they're going to bring the killer to justice. Their lives - and the future of the Protectorate - depend on it.

This series keeps me entertained with a great story, fun lines, friendships, enemies, and some light romance.

Wry humor, action, great narration

Very obvious twists which failed to surprise me. Not a bad story but not nearly as good as the first in the series.

Meh

this was a great follow-up to the first book! Caught on to the killer early, but was nearly thrown off with each turn, wow

Great Sequel!!

As with the first book in the series; good story and well performed but rather short at just over 6 hours.

It was a very good book but unfortunately for a mystery if you can see the ending well before the actual end of the book it can be a little disappointing. I look forward to the next one.

Saw the ending coming far in advance

The characters drew me in and got me invested in the adventure. Fun listening and great actor presentation.

Great characters

It was very good though I had figured out who the culprit was quickly, it still was a good story. I still am a bit perplexed about how there is a strong magical superiority group on an island where magic is already a dominant force. If anything there should be a magicless supremacy group instead.

Really good

Pacing was improved slightly over the first one. Setting up the big bad is never easy but this pulls it off.

They should have given Tane an honorary degree by now. It sounded like he did all the course work but they hated his final dissertation and expelled him for it. Time to give back what he was owed even if he doesn’t need it at this point of his career.
