Steel, Blood & Fire

Immortal Treachery, Book 1

By: Allan Batchelder

Narrated by: Christopher Selbie

On the march, around the campfire, and in the taverns, they tell incredible stories about Tarmun Vykers, the Reaper - how he's never been cut in battle, how he once defeated hundreds of men by himself, how he exterminated an entire people over an insult. These stories make Vykers seem like a god, but he is a man, an arrogant, ruthless, and bloodthirsty man. For all that, he may be the only thing standing between the human race and utter annihilation at the hands of the mad wizard who calls himself the End-of-All-Things. Against this backdrop, smaller, lesser folks struggle to fulfill their own destinies, folks like Aoife, burdened with a secret so dark she is driven to do the unimaginable and seek an alliance with fey powers no mortal has ever encountered.

Author Q&A

Is this audiobook appropriate for children?

No, only 17+ please.

What types of creatures are in the book?

Several original creations, plus a few you know. There are ghosts and wizards, but not the typical ones found in most ghost novels and mage books, and the Fey here are more dangerous than in your average fairy books. If you enjoy edgier fantasy novels, then this is for you!

Is this a stand-alone novel, or part of a series?

This is book one in the Immortal Treachery series. It tells a complete story on its own, but subsequent books help tell a larger story.

finally an adult book.

fast paced, but still developed a good storyline. not deep, but not over thought. light humor. finally a story that gives the women character their due, without emasculating the males!

Good book!

This had no reviews. So I thought I would give it one. The narrator did a overall good job. He has some weird delays while talking though. But I really enjoyed the story and figured this book needed a positive review. Well done!

great story could have done with better narration

lots of background audio, story was good though narrator gave almost everyone a stutter for some reason. still worth the credit though.

Great story...bad narrator

Great story. Incredible really.

However...

weird mouth noises and bad recording. was all I could hear really

Good news/bad news. NO SPOILERS

Good news, this is too tear grim dark fantasy. Not quite Joe Abercrombie, but close. The Bad news, books 2-5 are not on audible...
