About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Darien by C.F. Iggulden, read by Daniel Weyman.
TWELVE FAMILIES. ONE THRONE. WELCOME TO THE EMPIRE OF SALT.
The city of Darien stands at the weary end of a golden age. Twelve families keep order with soldiers and artefacts, spies and memories, clinging to a peace that shifts and crumbles. The people of the city endure what they cannot change.
Here, amongst old feuds, a plot is hatched to kill a king. It will summon strangers to the city - Elias Post, a hunter, Tellius, an old swordsman banished from his home, Arthur, a boy who cannot speak, Daw Threefold, a chancer and gambler, Vic Deeds, who feels no guilt - and Nancy, a girl whose talent might be the undoing of them all.
As the sun sets, their arrival inside the walls will spark a series of explosive events. Before the sun returns, six destinies will have been made - and lost - in Darien.

Fantastic book that hooks you in.
I didn’t know what to expect as I’ve not read the authors other titles. Very pleased and entertained by a fantasy novel that did not drag things out (for a sequel). Nice to find a book that can either end where it finished or move to another.
That said hooked and will see if there is another.
Very layered characters all with faults & strengths with “baddies” that aren’t two dimensional. Definitely give this a go if you like GoT, Witcher, Devon C Ford or “dark fantasy” (eg not two dimensional fantasy/sci-fi).?

Great Iggledon fantasy.
I started this author in paper and followed many episodes through book and then audio books. This is a great fantasy, drawing you in, and we'll reccomended for someone whom would usually shy away from fiction. Awesome, can't wait to get into number two.

A great fantasy audio
I loved this! I am a big Iggulden fan & have read most his historical fiction so was excited to read this. It definitely met expectations! It was a great story with multiple POV which worked really well together. I didn't know who to support in the battle for the control of Darien with all the twists & turns!
Great characters & a fantastic storyline.
