    About this audiobook

    ‘Grabbed me and refused to let go’ George R.R. Martin

    SOMETIMES A GIRL IS TOUCHED BY MOTHER WAR
    Thorn lives to fight. But she has been named murderer by the very man who trained her to kill.

    SOMETIMES A GIRL BECOMES A WARRIOR
    Fate traps her in the schemes of Father Yarvi, sending her across half the world to seek allies against the ruthless High King.

    SOMETIMES A WARRIOR BECOMES A WEAPON
    Beside her is Brand, a young warrior who hates to kill. A failure in his eyes and hers, he has one chance at redemption.

    AND WEAPONS ARE MADE FOR ONE PURPOSE
    Must Thorn be a tool in other hands or can she carve her own path? Is there a place beyond legend for a woman with a blade?

    • 5/5
      Another brilliant book, he is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. A fun fast and furious read.
    • 4/5
      There's the writing I recognize from The First Law Trilogy!
    • 4/5
      i realy enjoyed listening to this book! the narrator does a great job bringing the characters to life and i can't wait to listen to half a war
    • 3/5
      The plot is fairly straightforward, and there are few surprises in this second part of the trilogy. It is well read but I found that portions of it were a bit uninteresting. I guess as a build to the final book it suffices.
