Resumen del Editor

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Dresden Files comes an action-packed all-new fantasy adventure set in the Cinder Spires universe.

Benedict Sorellin-Lancaster hasn't even broken in his lieutenant's insignia when he's summoned to meet with the Spirearch of Spire Albion himself for a very special—and very secret—purpose. The Spirearch needs Benedict to retrieve a bag he's "misplaced" on the Colony Spire known as Dependence, which has strangely cut off all contact with the outside world. It's a delicate mission at best, a potential bloodbath at worst.

To this end, the Spirearch has supplied Benedict with backup in the form of three Warriorborn. But unlike the courageous lieutenant, this trio has formerly used its special gifts for crime, carnage, and outright bloody murder. And all of them were caught and imprisoned because of Benedict. Now, if they behave—and make it back alive—they'll go free.

But when the odd squad reaches Dependence, they soon discover something waiting for them: a horrific weapon that could shatter the balance of power among the Spires. And Benedict will have to bring his own Warriorborn skills to bear if he, his team, and Spire Albion are to have any hope of survival . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

“While readers familiar with the series will have a better understanding of the ins and outs of the Cinder Spires world, this is mostly a stand-alone story that, despite its brevity, packs a lot of punch in an engaging, fast-paced read with well-defined characters . . . Add Steampunk vibes, terrifying monsters, charming talking cats, and an open ending that tantalizes readers into reading the series—this is a recipe for success. A delectable slice of SF adventure.”—Kirkus Reviews

Wild ride

Exciting, action packed adventure. I like the Cinder tales. I have waited for the next story a long time. Good character's and story.

Long awaited sequel

I have been waiting so long and patiently for a sequel in this amazing fantasy steam punk esque book that manages to include a complex cat society. This novella was well worth the listen but wish I could have more hrs of listening to this awesome Jim Butcher series!

warrior Born

the swift action scenes and character development. Engaging plot and characters. Amplified the antagonist as well as the protagonist .

Worth the wait!

Even though this story takes place in a complicated universe, the story can be followed even if you don't feel like a re-read. Characters are vivid and story is compelling. Now i'm on to the next addition!!

Damn!

Way to leave me hanging!!! You have to love when an author does that to you!

entertaining novella

a fun, action-packed appetizer for the series. so great to get Benedict's POV. Entertaining, well-drawn supporting characters and you can't go wrong with more cats IMO

So much fun to know what happened before the kitten showed up

The kitten story and how they got to be where they are now and how the warrior born got his

Great addition, but…

It’s waaaay too expensive for such a short novel.
Aside from that, I’m glad to see that this story is finally getting a continuation.

Great Novella

I enjoyed this novella. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

A bit predictable, but adds some backstory for the main storyline

Euan’s performance was was off compared to the freshman debut of the series. Having heard other performances by him, I can only attribute it to bad direction given during the recording of the performance. The story itself was a bit predictable, but good to add to more backstory to its main character as well as helping the plot line in the upcoming sophomore book of the series due out in few weeks. If you’re a fan of Jim Butcher I think you’ll enjoy this and hopefully it will help to quench the thirst a touch while waiting for Jim to type faster.🙂
