About this listen
In the contested and unexplored territories at the edge of the Empire, a boat is making its laborious way upstream. Riding along the banks are the mercenaries hired to protect it - from raiders, bandits and, most of all, the stretchers, elf-like natives who kill any intruders into their territory. The mercenaries know this is dangerous, deadly work. But it is what they do.
In the boat the drunk governor of the territories and his sons and daughters make merry. They believe that their status makes them untouchable. They are wrong. And with them is a mysterious, beautiful young woman, who is the key to peace between warring nations and survival for the Empire.
When a callow mercenary saves the life of the Governor on an ill-fated hunting party, the two groups are thrown together. For Fisk and Shoe - two tough, honourable mercenaries surrounded by corruption, who know they can always and only rely on each other - their young companion appears to be playing with fire. The nobles have the power, and crossing them is always risky. And although love is a wonderful thing, sometimes the best decision is to walk away. Because no matter how untouchable or deadly you may be, the stretchers have other plans.

Pacey makes this book.
What this book lacks in plot, it makes up in the strength of its unique world and an equally interesting perspective in the form of a dwarf storyteller in the wild west. Steven Pacey's excellent narration helped me get through the boring middle bits of the book and it is worth sticking through to the end.

Did the world really need this?
WTF. Romans, cowboys, indians, elves, dwarves, demons. No idea why anyone would bother trying to write a story full of so many awful overused clichés all mixed together. Ugh. So cheesy. However, I managed to listen to the end. I won’t get the other books in the series. I would buy a book from him again though if it seems to have less ridiculous subject matter.
Steve Pacey as narrator is excellent as always
