Publisher's summary

The great merchant city of Carthula - raised from the bones of a kraken on the whim of a goddess

Where noble houses call upon dark magic to triumph in their endless and deadly game for dominion....

Landless one-time king Guyime, once called Pilgrim but known to history as the Ravager, has survived the fall of the Execration - an event that set him on a path to find the legendary Seven Swords.

Guided by sorcery, Guyime journeys to Carthula in the centre of the First Sea to claim the mythical blade known as the Kraken’s Tooth. Aided by three companions - the beast charmer Seeker, a powerful sorceress, and a scholarly slave - Guyime ventures into Carthula’s perilous underbelly to secure a prize guarded by ancient magics, cursed spirits, and lethal traps. But can he survive an ultimate ordeal crafted from his worst nightmares?

Continuing the epic story begun in A Pilgrimage of Swords, The Kraken’s Tooth is a fast-paced tale of low intrigue and grand adventure from the New York Times best-selling author of the Raven’s Shadow and Draconis Memoria trilogies.

Another Diety, Another Adventure

I was surprised at just how similar the feel and flow were to the previous book - mythological backstory, repeated violent and gruesome challenges, ending that leaves a wake of destruction. That said, while it had less adventure/excitement, I thought this title a better read over the previous as it filled in a lot more detail on the characters and backstory, making it overall a more satisfying read.

Wasn't sure if I'd be continuing this series after the first, but after this pleasant surprise I'll definitely be reading on.

I just love a demon possessed sword story!

The tale of a tortured anti-hero forced to contend with his conscience and the dark craving’s of a demon possessed sword never fails to entertain me. Anthony Ryan is one of my favorite authors and Steven Brand one of my favorite narrators. Although this novel was too short and only teased me for more, it was a great book and a great listen.

It is short but i prefer quality over quantity. Anthony Ryans hero’s stirs something deep inside myself.

Silly? For sure, yet I cannot deny that i’m energized by the tale, and it renews the desire to continue my own journey. The demon in the blade mimics my own cynical nature, but i have faith, and I’m informed that i don’t need a lot.
