About this listen
From New York Times best-selling author Kevin Hearne comes the start of a hugely entertaining new series set in the world of the Iron Druid Chronicles - about an eccentric master of magic solving an uncanny mystery in Scotland....
Al MacBharrais is both blessed and cursed. He is blessed with an extraordinary white moustache, an appreciation for craft cocktails - and a most unique magical talent. He can cast spells with magically enchanted ink, and he uses his gifts to protect our world from rogue minions of various pantheons, especially the Fae.
But he is also cursed. Anyone who hears his voice will begin to feel an inexplicable hatred for Al, so he can only communicate through the written word or speech apps. And his apprentices keep dying in peculiar freak accidents. As his personal life crumbles around him, he devotes his life to his work, all the while trying to crack the secret of his curse.
But when his latest apprentice, Gordie, turns up dead in his Glasgow flat, Al discovers evidence that Gordie was living a secret life of crime. Now Al is forced to play detective - while avoiding actual detectives who are wondering why death seems to always follow Al. Investigating his apprentice's death will take him through Scotland's magical underworld and he'll need the help of a mischievous hobgoblin if he's to survive.
Packed to the brim with mystery, magic and mayhem, Ink & Sigil is perfect for fans of Rivers of London and Rotherweird.

Good book. Not the best narrator choice
I normally like Luke Daniels as a narrator and in his earlier work with Kevin Hearne. But his Scottish accents really are not strong and given this book is set in Scotland with mostly native characters I'd prefer to hear an actual Scottish actor reading. But if you put aside expectations of authenticity, Daniel's is able to convey this new jaunty tale.

Brilliant
Absolutely loved this book. The narration was simply brilliant. I don’t think I will get that Scottish accent out of my head for a while.
I loved the Iron Druid series and love the connect between that series and this series.
