About this listen

The second thrilling instalment in Ian Green's Sunday Times Top 15 bestselling fantasy adventure series.

Break the chains. Hold your strength. Burn your foes.

Once a warrior of the Stormguard Commandos, Floré wrought horrors in the rotstorm to protect her people. She did her duty and swore to leave the bloodshed behind. But when her daughter, Marta, was kidnapped, Floré was forced to once again raise her gauntlet against the devils of Ferron to bring her home.

Now Marta is dying from the skein-magic she inherited from her father, and the Protectorate is weakened by the absence of the whitestaffs. The mystical order of healers and sages fled to their island citadel of Riven when strange orbs cut through the night.

Floré and her comrades must race to find a cure for Marta, to find the truth of the whitestaffs' betrayal, and to fight back against the encroaching children of the storm.

Floré has taken up her gauntlets and her sword to keep her people safe—but steel alone might not be enough...

Critic reviews

"Excellent, vivid worldbuilding.... A gripping story with cinematic detail." (British Fantasy Society)

Worthy follow-up to the first book in the Rotstorm trilogy. More revealed about characters, motivations and lore and plenty of fights. Readers will want to take the books in order though there’s enough summarised backstory here and there to enable this stand alone. But the enjoyment is in following the story and character development so do read this after the first. Some odd word pronunciations sometimes!

Action packed second instalment in trilogy
