About this listen
'Sixty-five thousand battle-shocked, trained killers came home to no jobs, no food and the plague. What did Her Majesty think was going to happen?'
Tomas Piety takes his duties seriously: as a soldier, as a priest of Our Lady of Eternal Sorrows and as a leader of men. He has come home from the war to reclaim his family business, to provide for his men and to ensure the horrors of Abingon can never happen in Ellinburg.
But things have changed: his crime empire has been stolen, and the people of Ellinburg - his people - have run out of food and hope and places to hide. With his best friend, Bloody Anne, his war-damaged brother, Jochan, and his new gang, the Pious Men, Tomas sets out to reclaim what was his.
And as Tomas is dragged into a web of political intrigue by the sinister Queen's Men, forced to work against the foreign infiltrators lurking in the backstreet taverns, brothels and gambling dens of the Stink, one thing becomes clear.
The war has just begun.

Solid, fast paced fantasy
I really enjoyed listening to this book. It was a solid story with an interesting magic system I hope we learn more about.
I totally get the Peaky Blinders comparisons, there are quite a few similarities throughout the book.
First person narrative took a minute to get into and it was a bit repetitive, telling us the same things over again in the same way with no variance at all but hopefully this is edited out in the second book.
Still a bloody good read with plenty of violence and settling of scores.

Priest of Bones
A great, fast-paced, entertaining story, to my mind.
Cinematic scenes, solid characters and plenty of authentic dialogue.
The narrator did an amazing job bringing this book to life.
