Description

No day is ordinary in a world where technology and magic compete for supremacy.... But no matter which force is winning, in the apocalypse, a sword will always work.

Hugh d'Ambray, Preceptor of the Iron Dogs, Warlord of the Builder of Towers, served only one man. Now his immortal, nearly omnipotent master has cast him aside. Hugh is a shadow of the warrior he was, but when he learns that the Iron Dogs, soldiers who would follow him anywhere, are being hunted down and murdered, he must make a choice: to fade away or to be the leader he was born to be. Hugh knows he must carve a new place for himself and his people, but they have no money, no shelter, and no food, and the necromancers are coming. Fast.

Elara Harper is a creature who should not exist. Her enemies call her Abomination; her people call her White Lady. Tasked with their protection, she's trapped between the magical heavyweights about to collide and plunge the state of Kentucky into a war that humans have no power to stop. Desperate to shield her people and their simple way of life, she would accept help from the devil himself - and Hugh d'Ambray might qualify.

Hugh needs a base; Elara needs soldiers. Both are infamous for betraying their allies, so how can they create a believable alliance to meet the challenge of their enemies?

As the prophet says, "It is better to marry than to burn".

Hugh and Elara may do both.

I read this book out of order but it was absolutely excellent. Some of Ilona Andrews best work imo.

Amazing

Absolutely amazing story. Lots of crossovers from Kate Daniels stories. Hugh and his Iron Dog's are great. I can't wait for the next book.

Great book now in a sexy voice

Ilona Andrew's never disappoints and the narrator was a perfect choice. I can't wait for the rest of the trilogy.

Great beginning to a Spin Off Series

Steve West's performance on this audio book is fantastic!! He captures Hugh D'Ambray's character perfectly and breathes life into all of the others. I laughed at his portrayal of Andrea, but the authors have confessed they forgot to tell him she is American. All in all, it was a great listen. #Audible1

Enjoyed this!

Exciting start to a new series! I've always enjoyed Ilona Andrews work and this didn't disappoint. The narrator was great and fit with the story amazingly.

Love!

As you may know, the Iron Covenant series is a spin off of the Kate Daniels series. I haven't listened to the Kate Daniels series (yet). I was nervous that I'd be lost without all the back story but the authors did a great job of setting up the universe. After reading Iron and Magic I'm convinced I need to read the Kate Daniels series. Especially since I have to wait now for book two of the Iron Covenant series.

I truly have enjoyed the wife and husband combo of writing style. Often I find male characters written by women and female characters written by men to be lacking. In this book that wasn't the case. The two gender perspectives have created realistic characters that are easy to fall in love with.

Steve West... *purrs* I've listened to several books narrated by Steve West. In fact, I found this book because I was searching for his work. His voice was made to be in audiobooks, especially romances books. His voice is like liquid sex and I could listen to him for hours (which is exactly what I do haha). Another great series with him narrating is the Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa Tahir.

Spoiler alert would be nice

Enjoyed the book very much. I am no prude but I was taken by surprise when after maybe 9 hours the super hard core porn scene started. Personally I liked it but I was glad I wasn’t lying on a beach if you know what I mean. Also a good thing I wasn’t listening to it in public sans headphones. Anywho, good story!

More Hugh and Elara!

I have read Iron and Magic 2 or 3 times and this is my first listen. I think this is the first book of Steve West’s I’ve listened to and I’ll be checking to see if he’s narrated other titles that interest me.

Hugh is an antagonist in the Kate Daniels series and Iron and Magic is a story of his beginning to become someone beyond Roland’s dog. Iron and Magic is also Elara’s introduction to readers and I’m still not clear on what she is. Hugh is Iron and Elara is Magic, but Hugh is also very magic.

There are obscure plot points for readers unfamiliar with Kate Daniels and I agree with the recommended reading order from Ilona Andrews’ website where Iron and Magic slots between Kate Daniels books 9 and 10.

Superb story and narration!!!

I can't praise this audiobook enough!!! The story is complex and intriguing, with great strong characters and plenty of room to grow. I can't wait to see where this story line goes after this. The writing was excellent! This was my first time with this author and since listening to this audiobook, I have started devouring the author's other works. I'm now in the middle of the Kate Daniels series. It's interesting to read that series when knowing this Hugh d'Ambray first. I've also stared the Innkeeper series, and it's also fun to read. This is a great author!

The narration. Wow. I was browsing Audible, trying to branch out beyond my favorite author who's narrator is excellent. I listened to a couple other books, highly rated, but ended up returning them because of the narration. They were overly dramatic or flat and weak. I couldn't get through them or would never recommend them. So i tried the sample clip of this book. I was hooked! Steve West was masterful! I absolutely enjoyed every second of listening to this! He's now my favorite narrator and anything else he does goes into my 'try this one!' list. I have listened to this audiobook multiple times in 1 month, and with my husband who is now a devoted fan now too. I've listened to this author's other narrator, and Steve West is far superior! His voices are distinct, sarcasm drips, and he brings so much depth to conversations between characters then just the written words. He's amazing to listen to!

I loved this book! I can't wait for more of this series, the author, and the narrator! 5 stars all round and I recommend it to everyone!

Excellent, another hit Ilona and Andrew!

I loved the interaction between Hugh and Elara, so full of fire and conflict. I never understood before how fighting could build excitement and anticipation, but now I REALLY do ;) the relationship between them was brilliantly developed.

The narrator performs the story well. The reason I gave it a three is because the pronounciation of key words was totally different from the Kate Daniels novels, and every time he said those words, the illusion of the story world was broken for me.

Despite that, the story was able to carry me through those moments, and overlooking them was well rewarded by my delight in the story.
