Summary

A ranger’s duty. The rotten heart of a king. Rebellion spilled from the blood of family. 

Rew, the king’s ranger, accepted a role on the far edge of the realm to avoid the morass of intrigue and betrayal that bleeds from the heart of the kingdom. His only desire is to shoulder the burden he’s taken, to protect the village of Eastwatch, and to monitor the wilderness beyond. 

When three youths are arrested for petty theft in the village and beg for his help, Rew’s oldest friend insists he take responsibility for them. By ties stronger than steel, Rew is forced onto a path he knows leads to chaos and death. Through a resurgence of monsters summoned in ages prior, war between the royal line, and back-stabbing treachery, the king’s ranger will battle to grant the youths a life he never had a chance of. 

But as they venture farther from the wilderness he calls home, Rew can feel the magical pull at the center of the kingdom, demanding he return to face his past and his family’s terrible legacy. Only he knows the secret of the king, and the risk it poses to the entire realm. 

The King’s Ranger is a classic fantasy adventure, perfect for fans of Michael J Sullivan, Brent Weeks, James Islington, and AC Cobble’s Benjamin Ashwood series.

Disappointing

Just finished the Cartographer series, which I really enjoyed, and Simon Vance is one of my favourite narrators.
However, in this performance he give all the main characters a really quite naff American accent, while reading the main plot in his usual voice. Combined with the story not really pulling me in, I gave up on it before long.
I really wanted to like this, but found both the story and character voices really disappointing :(
