Publisher's summary

Executioners don’t solve crimes; they punish those who commit them. Or, so Finn thought before apprenticed to one.

Poverty-stricken Finn Jagger would give anything to heal his ailing mother. With his father imprisoned, Finn has joined a thieving crew to earn the money he needs to save her. When the latest heist turns to disaster and lands him on death row, Finn’s future seems to be tied up with a noose. Until the king’s executioner claims him as an apprentice.

Finn soon learns an executioner has far more power and greater responsibility than he’d ever realized. As inquisitor and detective, he must find the truth behind each sentence he carries out. It’s a challenging job - but one that Finn is surprisingly good at.

As dangers mount, the discovery of magical dangers forces Finn to forge relationships with those who understand a greater truth to power in the world where he learns that an executioner has a greater role to play than he’d ever imagined.

The Executioner's Song is an epic fantasy series and is perfect for fans of Michael J. Sullivan, Brent Weeks, and James Islington.

Wonderful Find

Was in between series when I saw this and decided to take a chance on it. Very pleased I did and I can’t wait to finish the rest of the series. There were some minor inconsistencies I noticed a few of, but overall the writing was solid with good narration. 10/10 would recommend.

Loved it

The first (3) books of these series are epic, and like always D. K. Holmberg does an excellent job in character development and leaving you on edge to start the next chapter, after chapter.

Best book I have ever heard or read

Listened to the series and hardly ever did I have to go back and register to anything. The book flowed that well. Was entertaining and the direction he took his subject was more interesting than anything I have ever heard before.

slow burn

this whole story is a gradual slow burn with pleasant twists and enough character involvement to frustrate at times. as that may be, it provokes enough to empathize and keeps you engaged

Good listen!

I enjoyed the stories and the narration. The main character was a bit annoying at times but did not detract from the experience. It actually showed me how involved in the story. If you enjoy fantasy fiction this would not be a bad choice!

Good Story

Entertaining, and interesting. Gives enough to keep you going, but not so much it becomes predictable and dull. will try out the next couple stories in the series now.

Really well put together

The narrator is great. The story evolves and without having to use an expansive kingdom. Very well done
