À propos de cet audio

Irody can speak to the dead.
But the living want him silenced.

Mortedants can speak to the dead –­ and Irody Hasp is the greatest of them. Not that they’ll admit it. And not that anyone actually likes the Mortedants, or Irody in particular.

Nonetheless, Elbay is a city of tradition, and tradition calls for Mortedants to attend a death. But when Irody reads the corpse of a low-level worker, he’s dragged into a conspiracy that will see those closest to him murdered and Irody framed for the crime, the eyes of the city’s guilds, nobles and villains all fixed on him.

With only days to prove his innocence before his execution, Irody is forced to work with unlikely and unwanted allies: a street urchin and a hulking, inhuman mercenary from the sea people’s city of Oknosuka. With danger and death lurking round every corner, and trust a luxury, Irody is running out of time. He must save himself and his friends as well as Elbay – the magnificent, terrifying, complicated city that he loves. Or darkness will fall on them all.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Excellent . . . one of the most interesting and original fantasy worlds I've seen in years (Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of the Children of Time series, on The Bone Ships)
Swashbuckling awesomeness . . . a fascinating world and a twisty plot, both rooted in characters I came to care about. A definite winner (John Gwynne, author of The Shadow of the Gods, on The Bone Ships)
A viciously exciting adventure. I loved every second of it (Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand, on The Bone Ships)
A singular, sensational new voice in epic fantasy (Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld, on The Bone Ships)
Age of Assassins builds a compelling fantasy world and peoples it with characters you can care about. Riddled with intrigue and dangerous magic, this is a hugely enjoyable debut (Jen Williams, author of The Ninth Rain, on Age of Assassins)
A sweeping story of destiny and redemption. Weighty, deliberate, tender and brutal, this is a big, wonderful book and an utterly involving read (The Daily Mail on Gods of the Wyrdwood)
