About this listen
Legends aren't born. They're forged.
Dug Sealskinner is a down-on-his-luck mercenary travelling south to join up with King Zadar's army. But he keeps rescuing the wrong people. First, Spring, a child he finds scavenging on the battlefield, and then Lowa, one of Zadar's most fearsome warriors, who's vowed revenge on the king for her sister's execution.
Now Dug's on the wrong side of that thousands-strong army he hoped to join - and worse, Zadar has bloodthirsty druid magic on his side. All Dug has is his war hammer, one rescued child, and one unpredictable, highly-trained warrior with a lust for revenge that's going to get them all killed.... It's a glorious day to die.

I arrived here purely by accident!!
I thought I was about to immerse myself into a bloody tale about pre Roman Britain.
I laughed out loud so much, I'm sure most of my fellow M6 compadres thought I was mad. Brilliant series of books. A wonderfully delivered story (Sean Barrett's voice is amazing) and some well described graphic violence. Angus Watsons turn of phrase makes me laugh. in fact after listening to Angus's trilogy I gave sky TV's Brittania series a second chance. I need more stories about the characters in this book.

Age of iron rocks
As usual Sean Barretts narration was top notch, particularly in the battle scenes. Medieval hero and heroine battling it out against the cruel and sadistic king. Not only was the storyline exciting but you also get to learn a little about Iron Age life within a half fantasy context with great humour thrown in for good measure. Fab! If you liked the "left hand of God" trilogy you will enjoy this.

Well rounded characters that you can root for.
Full of history that doesn't over power the story. Definitely worth listening to if you like battles.

Just as good as First Law
Absolutely loved this story - a great grimdark fantasy version of a little known time in history. Great characters and fantastic world building... and Sean Barrett is maybe the best narrator I’ve heard.
Be warned - this book is very violent, gory, and brutal, but not in a forced way. It works well with the environment and time.

Absolutely brilliant
This book has everything for me, blood, gore, detailed battle scenes and humour! Found myself laughing out loud in the car after looking forward to listening all day!
I've just downloaded the 2nd in the series and cannot wait to get it started.
An excellent book with excellent characters that Sean brings to life as only he can - absolutely brilliant.
