    About this audiobook

    From the critically acclaimed author of THE BROKEN EMPIRE series comes a brilliant new epic fantasy series, THE RED QUEEN’S WAR.

    The Red Queen is old but the kings of the Broken Empire fear her as they fear no other.

    Her grandson Jalan Kendeth is a coward, a cheat and a womaniser; and tenth in line to the throne. While his grandmother shapes the destiny of millions, Prince Jalan pursues his debauched pleasures. Until he gets entangled with Snorri ver Snagason, a huge Norse axe man, and dragged against his will to the icy north.

    In a journey across half the Broken Empire, Jalan flees minions of the Dead King, agrees to duel an upstart prince named Jorg Ancrath, and meets the ice witch, Skilfar, all the time seeking a way to part company with Snorri before the Norseman’s quest leads them to face his enemies in the black fort on the edge of the Bitter Ice.

    PRINCE OF FOOLS is the first book in the series.

      Great new story in an amazing world. Lovely writhing as well
    • 2/5
      this books rings very similar to the authors first series. the main character is a dead ringer for that other and the story takes place at the same time and world as the other.
      besides, both these series suffer from the same lack in characters, which can more precisely be considered stereotypes and caricatures than characters. the adventure is all that speaks for the work, and that is getting old after we witnessed the eventual completion in the first series.
    • 1/5
      Main character was an absolute coward with no development whatsoever.
