Priest of Bones is a science fiction and fantasy novel. It is the opening title in War for the Rose Throne novel series. It is written by Peter McLean. He is a London-born writer who first had a career in corporate IT, before switching to writing. The Burned Man series is his debut work which is a noir urban fantasy. Priest of Lies and Priest of Gallows are two other superb novels by the author of the War for the Rose Throne novel series.
The audio narration of Priest of Bones is done by John Lee. It was an amazing performance and he is surely among the top three narrators of fantasy novels that we have today.
The war was over and Tomas Piety, the army priest went home along with Sergeant Bloody Anne. Things had drastically changed at home while he was away.
His crime empire was stolen and his people of Ellinburg were starving. They also have no place to hide or any hope for a better future. Tomas was determined to reclaim all that was his and for that, he required due help from Anne. He also seeks help from Jochan, his brother, and his Pious Men gang. However, when he discovered himself dragged once again within a web of deceit and political intrigue then the entire scenario got more complicated than ever before.
The Pious Men were up against the sinister foreign subversives who were everywhere in the brothels, gambling dens, and back-street taverns. The war that started was just the beginning.
The story of Priest of Bones is highly enjoyable. It offered a great pace with excellent characterization and superb narration.
This is so good!!! Can we get the rest of the series??
