About this listen

They are the most feared mercenary company the kingdom has ever known.

Led by Yulan, their charismatic captain, the Free have spent years selling their martial and magical skills to the highest bidder - winning countless victories that have shaken the foundations of the world. Now they finally plan to lay down their swords.

Yet when Yulan is offered a final contract, he cannot refuse - for the mission offers him the chance to erase the memories of the Free's darkest hour, which have haunted him for years.

As the Free embark on their last mission, a potent mix of loyalty and vengeance is building to a storm. Freedom, it seems, carries a deadly price.

Fast-moving standalone

Big fan of Ruckley's writing style. It's very clean and engaging and travels at a wonderful pace. The Free is a very enjoyable standalone with a fantastic magic system. It moves quickly, and you find yourself near the end without realising it. Book suffers from perhaps too many characters with too little fleshing out, but the story itself is a real page-turner. I only wish Ruckley wrote more. In general, and for this series. The world he built was teased just enough to make me want to know an awful lot more about it.
