Publisher's summary

This set includes all three books in AC Cobble's Cartographer Series. A pair of unlikely investigators walk a dangerous path into the past, uncovering secrets best left alone in this dark, fantasy thriller.

The fate of empire is to crumble from within.

A heinous murder in a small village reveals a terrible truth. Sorcery, once thought dead in Enhover, is not. Evidence of an occult ritual and human sacrifice proves that dark power has been called upon again. Twisting threads of clues lead across the known world to the end of a vast empire, and then, the trail returns home.

Duke Oliver Wellesley, son of the king, cartographer, and adventurer, has better things to do than investigate a murder in a sleepy fishing hamlet. For Crown and Company, though, he goes where he’s told. As the investigation leads to deeper and darker places, he’ll be forced to confront the horrific spectres rising from the shadows of his past. When faced with the truth, will he sacrifice what is necessary to survive?

Samantha serves a Church that claims to no longer need her skills. She’s apprenticed to a priest-assassin that no one knows. Driven by a mad prophecy, her mentor has prepared her for a battle with ultimate darkness, except, sorcery is dead. When all is at stake, can she call upon an arcane craft the rest of the world has forgotten?

The fate of empire is to crumble from within. Do not ask when, ask who.

A wonderfully narrated adventure with good action, character development and plot variance

The series was great with the second book being my favorite, Spirit tried to be a bit too ‘epic’ with ‘surprise’ reveals but it still was a great read that left me wanting more, but fully satisfied with what I got. Will definitely give other works by the author a chance.

Great collection, well worth a listen.

I really enjoyed the writing of AC Cobble, who I had never heard of before. Overall, I would say the writing style reminds me of Brent Weeks, and this is really brought to life by the excellent narration of the always amazing Simon Vance.

Swashbuckling sword and sorcery!

An over sexed chaotic good prince and vaguely sociopathic chaotic neutral lesbian priestess traipse around the country stumbling into a duel between sorcerer cabals.

Highly recommend, 10/10 pure dorky swashbuckling fun. Simon Vance remains one of my favorite narrators, he's impeccable.

An amazing series!

simply one of the best set of books I've read in a long time. great work, great production, great narration. don't miss it!

slow start misguided ending good in between

picked this up purely because simon vance is awesome and i love fantasy. took a while to get into it but i enjoyed it once i did. books 1 & 2 were interesting and strong. book 3 seemed a bit weak, simultaneously predictable and random in parts, and with a twist at the end that was completely unnecessary. all in all it was fun but i was ready to move in by the end.

Very cool story

Love the feel of the story and the way it’s written. Grabbing characters. Good all around

Whew long but worth it

Decent story all the way through but toward the end things seemed to get stringy while making sense tbh I can’t stand Sam by the end of the book
Simon Vance will always get the highest of praise from me one of the only reasons I picked it may check out ac other works for sure

Amazing writing

One of the best series I have ever listen to writer has an exquisite ability to explain the surroundings Of his stories.

Excellent story line

I really enjoyed this story line an kind of wish AC would continue the line with Oliver and Sam.

Story and narrator were great.

AC Cobble is a great fantasy author. Although the Kings Ranger is probably his most popular collection of works, I think I prefer the cartographer instead.
