'Praise be to Our Lady of Eternal Sorrows, and blessed be the Ascended Martyr.' Those were the words on lips of the faithful: Blessed be the Ascended Martyr, and woe betide you if you thought otherwise. The word Unbeliever had become a death sentence on the streets in those days.

Gangster, soldier, priest. Governor, knight, and above all, Queen's Man.

Once, Tomas Piety looked after his men, body and soul, as best he could. Then those who ran his country decided his dark talents would better serve in the corridors of power.

Crushed by the power of the Queen's Men and with the Skanian menace rising once more on the streets of Ellinburg, Tomas Piety is forced to turn to old friends, old debts and untrustworthy alliances.

Meanwhile in the capital city of Dannsburg, Dieter Vogel is beginning to wonder if the horror he has unleashed in the Martyr's Disciples might be getting out of control.

With revolution brewing and tragedy and terrorism running rife in the cities, Piety and Vogel must each weigh the cost of a crown.

An author at the top of his game If you haven't yet picked up this riveting and unique series, I highly recommend you do If you want a gripping, well written and brilliant fantasy series, you got it. Dark, gritty, brutal fantasy with the heart of a gangster family drama and the page-turning pace of the best crime fiction, it's just SO good! Dark and full of menace, McLean's War for the Rose Throne belongs on the shelf of any fan of gritty fantasy I can't remember the last time I read such a consistently good series as The War for the Throne. Characterisation in these books is phenomenal. Each is flawed, many are brutal, but you can't help but feel an affinity for them. McLean's prose keeps you reading, as you hang out for the next revelation and revel in each glorious set-piece Utterly unputdownable A page-turner, a gripping story An absolute humdinger of a series. Tomas Piety is probably one of my favourite modern fantasy creations. He is such a compelling, flawed but noble character. The story and the culmination of the saga are deeply satisfying Priest of Crowns is an absolute page-turner, and through the last 80%, I literally sat on the edge of my seat. Peter McLean brings the War for the Rose Throne series to a gut-punching end, one that will be remembered for a long time coming. One of the best books of 2022 for sure. Praise be to Our Lady Phenomenol! A grim, powerful story that's full of tension . . . the powerful, explosive conclusion to the series. A series that has consistently impressed at every turn Tomas Piety's swansong is everything you could hope for A bold, explosive conclusion with a real gut-punch of
an ending McLean has crafted a remarkable story with a distinct voice on the state of modern politics, and a cast of colorful, vibrant characters that brought the story to life. Unputdownable Written with the momentum of an avalanche Expand reviews
