Summary
“No surrender. No retreat.” With 20 enemy swords at their backs and a broken bridge ahead, the last knights of an outlaw order turn to fight. A young woman with forbidden magic joins their final stand. And as blade meets blade, she starts to sing....
Adelais was raised in the Far North, learning stories of the old gods and the skill of weaving runes into magic. Now, she is locked in a convent far from home, forced to kneel to a foreign god.
When inquisitors arrive with plans to torture an innocent man, Adelais cannot stand by. She aids an attack to free the prisoner and joins the raiders as they flee into the night.
Her new companions are the last of the Guardians—once a powerful holy order, now ragged fugitives, hunted almost to extinction.
The knights carry a secret treasure, precious and powerful enough to shape kingdoms. Their pursuers, desperate to possess it, will crush any who stand in their way.
Nowhere is safe—in city or chateau, on the road or in the wilds. And even disguised as a boy, Adelais draws attention wherever she goes. Is she angel or demon, priestess or witch?
Adelais must summon all her courage and all her memories of the old gods’ magic as the noose tightens around her and a thunderous final reckoning approaches.
Discover a thrilling new series, with a rich world and action that will leave you breathless. Hammer of Fate is inspired by Viking magic, medieval combat, and the fall of the Templar knights—perfect for fans of Mark Lawrence, Andrzej Sapkowski, and Robin Hobb.

Enthralling, addictive novel
Fantastic story that had me listening addictively. Great narration that brought out the nuances of each character, and what wonderful characters! Love the heroine Adelais! Brilliant, twisty plot set in a medieval world. So good in fact that I’m moving straight on to the next in the series.

A fantastic tale within a gritty, visceral world
An excellent narration of a book where the realities of dirt, blood, and hunger weigh on the experiences of the characters as much as the more subtle powers of the divine guide their journey within a fantastic world.
Obviously inspired by the true events of Phillip IV's persecution of the Knights Templar, the setting provides the perfect background in which to explore the character development of an independent but naive young woman as she escapes her humble beginnings to encounter the wild, armed conflict, and love,

Absolutely gripping from start to finish!
Loved the character Adelais, great storylines which come across as part fiction, part real history. Good pace and use of language. A nice balance between gritty and sexy.

entertaining
One of the things that listeners will appreciate about this book is how the writer sets the story’s mood. It feels like when a group of people is around a campfire and a storyteller is weaving a story that entices them to listen. This book is well worth the credit.
