Truestrike's Treachery

De: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrado por: Andrea Parsneau

Finally settled into Accord, Sean’s work had barely begun. The plan was to take away Lord Truestrike’s powerbase, then move against him, with Hallie working to strengthen their ties with the nobility. Sean knew better than to get involved with that side of things, knowing he’d just say the wrong things to the wrong people.

While Hallie worked on alliances, Sean focused on healing, bringing the conflict with Truestrike to the fore— the Lord tried to use his influence to push Sean out of the healing guild. The attempt failed spectacularly, as not only was Sean not thrown out, he ended with the majority of the guild siding with him.

Having the healers behind him helped Sean do more. Truestrike’s plots to injure the city guard kept being thwarted, and with the healers on his side, Sean was able to save the majors being targeted. His actions in stopping every attempt to destabilize the guards earned him goodwill with Commander Queensblood.

Beyond helping the guard, Sean also enforced a broken Agreement, bringing him before Advisor Mackenzie Earthfoot. He was meant to explain why he’d cost a noble his hand, but Sean did what he always did: he proved his innocence by helping someone. Giving Mackenzie her foot back put her into debt to him, giving him powerful allies just as the gala began.

The gala was a night of politics. Sean healed those his friends brought him to and tried to not react when he finally met Truestrike. The conflict that happened wasn’t with Lord Truestrike, but his daughter, Trisha. After asking Sean for a dance, the Dame accused Sean of killing Darragh back in Oakwood, then shoved him and stormed off the dance floor.

With the gala over, Sean wondered what was going to happen next. He’d made more allies, been recognized before all of society by the Advisor, and his clash with Truestrike was known. The only thing he was sure of was that the Queens would learn about him, and now, his time was running out before they came to Accord.

Another great book.

This book continues a really good series.

Andrea's narration just rocks.

No blupers at the end, sigh...
:) Can't have everything.

Five star book five star series

This book was amazing. The series is so intriguing that you need to know what happened next. Now the question is, will you take the title or pass on it

Still good

Everytime a new book comes out in this series I lose sleep. That should give an indication how good I find them.

Exceptional

I’ve said it in many of the more recent reviews in this series I appreciate the reduction in descriptives and time when it came to sexual situations.

This was wonderful closing a solid Arc and being ready for the final parts of this series coming. I have truly enjoyed these characters there are a lot of them and they flow easily without being forgotten or what could be considered forced.

A five star book if I've ever red one.

Cheers goes out to Andrea for a top performance as usual.
Daniel did a great job with all aspects of the story. I am sad that book ten would be the last if I'm reading things correctly, but things ending at the MC meeting and dealing with whatever the queens bring is fitting.
The only problem with the book was that it was too short . Hopefully the last book is longer and not a lot crammed into as few words as possible.

The home

It has been a pleasure to read Daniel Schinhofen's Binding Words, book #10.
What a great series to start Audible with! Daniel, please hurry and get book #11 done!

Want more…

Really moves the main storyline ahead by leaps and bounds and does a terrific job the whole way through

Great

Really enjoyed the book. The story is advancing. Andrea did a great job narrating again

Too much Social Justice lecturing

I like the story but for all the IF SOCIETY IS NOT WHAT I WANT IT IS ALL FUCKED UP and In my old-world things were perfect! 1ST I don't know what part of the USA the protagonist or author is from, but if the author believes his own crap, he must not have traveled this world much. I like the overall story if the author would stop with the protagonist overly humble crap (which makes him arrogant). Please Mr. Schinhofen stop the repetitive blowing of sunshine up Showns ass about how perfect he is!!!!!

5 stars

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞I hope there are more books to come in this series! The MC is great along with a really good supporting cast! The story is captivating! The narrator also did a good job of bringing the story to life! Great job Daniel Schinhoffen!
