The Ties That Bind Trilogy

First Earth Saga

By: Rob J. Hayes

Narrated by: Jaret Ross

The complete The Ties that Bind trilogy.

For generations, the Inquisition has stood between humanity and the forces of darkness. It has failed.

Thanquil Darkheart is a witch hunter for the Inquisition, on a holy crusade to rid the world of heresy. He’s also something else...expendable. When the God Emperor gives Thanquil an impossible task, he knows he has no choice but to venture deep into the Wilds to hunt down a fallen Inquisitor.

Even the best swordswoman is one bad day away from a corpse. It’s a lesson Blademaster Jezzet Vel’urn isn’t keen to learn. Chased into the Wilds by a vengeful warlord, Jezzet makes it to the free city of Chade. But instead of sanctuary all she finds are more enemies from her past.

The Black Thorn is a cheat, a thief, a murderer and worse. He’s best known for the killing of several Inquisitors and every town in the Wilds has a WANTED poster with his name on it. Thorn knows it’s often best to lie low and let the dust settle, but some jobs pay too well to pass up.

As their fates converge, Jezzet, Thanquil, and the Black Thorn will need to forge an uneasy alliance in order to face the truth the Inquisition has been hiding from them all.
A dark epic fantasy full of zealous witch hunters, roving warlords, dark magic, and demons. Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie and Brent Weeks.

A treat

Couldn't get enough of this! Can't wait for the next audible release. The characters have so much depth.

Top notch fantasy

Loved the crusty characters and would love to hear more. Fun listen for grimdark fans.

A great anti-hero story.

It's a good read with characters and a story that draws you in. Very clever use of a magic system and the super natural. I can't wait for more of this world.

Wasn’t all bad

I enjoyed the overall concept and characters. The story was good and well paced. The dialogue was cringe. Didn’t seem to fit the characters and it often seemed like someone edited the book and found plot holes and the author wrote in some dialogue to explain and cover it up. Was worth the ear-read, just had to ignore the characters talking.

great story great narrator!!!

I was hooked right away it was so good I was afraid to finish because I knew that I might not be able to find another book like this for a while!( spend the credit )
