Publisher's Summary

Tomas Piety has been many things: soldier, priest, gangster...and spy. As Tomas's power grows, the nobility better watch their backs, in this dark and gritty epic fantasy series.

People are weak, and the poorer and more oppressed they are, the weaker they become - until they can't take it anymore. And when  they rise up...may the gods help their oppressors. 

When Tomas Piety returned from the war, he just wanted to rebuild his empire of crime with his gang of Pious Men. But his past as a spy for the Queen's Men drew him back in and brought him more power than he ever imagined. 

Now, with half of his city in ashes and the Queen's Men at his back, the webs of political intrigue stretch out from the capital to pull Tomas in. Dannsburg is calling. 

In Dannsburg the nobility fight with words, not blades, but the results are every bit as bloody. In this pit of beasts, Tomas must decide once and for all whether he is truly the people's champion...or just a priest of lies.

The Priest of Death

Great book by Peter McLean. I enjoyed it better than the first. Peter knows how to develop his characters and stay true to their nature. Voice narrator John Lee performs beautifully with the tone of a Preist. I can't wait for the next book

More of what you want to hear.

The narrator takes his performance one step higher, delivering excellent emotion and exclamations. The story itself takes some interesting turns and feels like more than a simple "part 2". All and all happy with this purchase.
