Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Darien by C.F. Iggulden, read by Daniel Weyman.
TWELVE FAMILIES. ONE THRONE. WELCOME TO THE EMPIRE OF SALT.
The city of Darien stands at the weary end of a golden age. Twelve families keep order with soldiers and artefacts, spies and memories, clinging to a peace that shifts and crumbles. The people of the city endure what they cannot change.
Here, amongst old feuds, a plot is hatched to kill a king. It will summon strangers to the city - Elias Post, a hunter, Tellius, an old swordsman banished from his home, Arthur, a boy who cannot speak, Daw Threefold, a chancer and gambler, Vic Deeds, who feels no guilt - and Nancy, a girl whose talent might be the undoing of them all.
As the sun sets, their arrival inside the walls will spark a series of explosive events. Before the sun returns, six destinies will have been made - and lost - in Darien.

Awesome Fiction
After going through nearly all of Iggulden’s historical fiction, I was interested in trying this.
Slow start with a great build, character development and arc. I loved it!

So good!
I have read most of Conn Iggulden's work and I liked him mixing it up with a fiction instead of a historical novel. This book is a ton of fun and I am already looking forward to the next books. The narrator was also exceptional and I overall highly recommend this book!
