Über diesen Titel

"The pairing of Reynolds's narration with Sullivan's multilayered storytelling is outstanding." — AudioFile Magazine

A daughter vanishes. Two rogues are paid a fortune to find her. It isn't enough.

When Gabriel Winter's daughter mysteriously disappears and is presumed dead, the wealthy whiskey baron seeks revenge. Having lived in Colnora during the infamous Year of Fear, he hires the one man he knows can deliver a bloody retribution — the notorious Duster.

Ride with Royce and Hadrian as the cynical ex-assassin and idealistic ex-mercenary travel to a mysterious old-world city filled with nobles claiming descent from imperial aristocracy. Riyria's job appears easy: discover what happened to the missing duchess and, if she lives, bring her home...if not, punish those responsible. But nothing is simple in the crowded, narrow, mist-filled streets of Rochelle, where more than one ancient legend lurks.

Editors Select, December 2017

This was the first Michael J. Sullivan book I've ever experienced. That fact might aggravate some of his more dedicated fans, seeing as it's the fourth book in the series ("you have to start at the beginning!"). But I heard that it could be enjoyed as a stand-alone work, and that it definitely can, because I was obsessed immediately. Sullivan's characters really take on a life of their own, especially with Tim Gerard Reynolds giving them such a dynamic performance. Sullivan's sense of pacing is akin to a thriller writer's; each chapter is succinct and compelling, with frequent cliff-hangers that make it impossible to stop listening. Most crucial, perhaps, is the quality and subtle detail of Sullivan's world building - and his synergy with Reynolds - making it easy to dive headlong into this book. —Michael, Audible Editor

Kritikerstimmen

"Fans will rejoice in Tim Gerard Reynolds's return to narrate the latest adult fantasy featuring professional thieves Hadrian and Royce. The pairing of Reynolds's narration with Sullivan's multilayered storytelling is outstanding. Reynolds's sense of the heroes' personalities makes the bantering dialogue a joy to hear and enhances the tale's humor and emotional depths." (AudioFile)

After being severely disappointed by the second book in the prequel series and not 100% convinced by the third, I can say that this is the best book so far.

As always I fell in love with Riyria. Tim Gerard Reynolds is a formidable voice actor, but in this (and only in this) production there are some sentences that clearly were added in post. I don''t know why, but these parts sound like they forgot to record them and Reynolds recorded them on his phone so someone could fiddle in. Otherwise, it's a nice story, and Royce&Hadrian are bickering at each other more than in previous novels, which actually is great, really loved the unicorns and polka dots.

Highlight of the series

It felt like the banter was stronger in this book compared to the previous ones. You start seeing Royce adapting to Hadrian reluctantly while having another tense and exciting adventure to go along with this. A bit surprising that the climax resolved a bit more quickly than in previous books, and that there were a few unexplained open ends, but this cannot take enough away from the fun i had reading this book to warrant a star less.

Another great unexpected story with royce and hadrian banter
