Steve West is the spectacular narrator of this audiobook. He has an attractive and strong voice and it’s just nice to listen to him. The diversity he can display for the different characters is nothing short of impressive.

No day can be considered ordinary in a world where magic and technology compete for dominance. It doesn’t matter what’s winning though, because a sword is always going to work in the apocalypse.

Hugh d’Ambray is Warlord of the Builder of Towers, Preceptor of the Iron Dogs, and he has served only one man. Now, his master is casting him aside. When Hugh learns that the soldiers are being hunted down, he can either fade away or become the leader he was meant to be.

Hugh knows he could carve up a new place for his people and himself, however, they have no shelter, no food, and no money. To make matters worse, the necromancers are coming fast.

Elara Harper is trying to help her people and she would accept the devil’s assistance if it could solve her problems. For now, Hugh would qualify.

The couple is quite alluring and their hate-hate relationship at the start is quite interesting. It helps the reader in focusing their attention on the story.
