Book description
Priest of Bones: A Grim Religious Western That Delivers
Peter McLean's debut novel isn't just another fantasy book with swords and spells-it's a brutal, honest examination of faith, power, and what happens when soldiers come home to find their world has moved on without them.
Tomas Piety isn't your typical hero. He's a war veteran and priest who returns to discover his criminal empire has been stolen, his people are starving, and his city is rotting from within. McLean doesn't sugarcoat the harsh realities of post-war life. There's no triumphant homecoming here, just the grim task of picking up the pieces while the world crumbles around you.
What makes this audiobook truly compelling is how McLean weaves together multiple genres seamlessly. It reads like a religious western crossed with urban fantasy, where the gunfights happen in taverns and brothels, and the most dangerous enemies wear expensive suits and smile with poisoned words. The political intrigue feels fresh because it's grounded in real human desperation.
The relationship between Tomas and Sergeant Bloody Anne provides genuine emotional weight to the story. Their banter and mutual respect elevate what could have been standard action sequences into something more meaningful. You're not just watching them fight-you're invested in their survival.
McLean's background in corporate IT shows in his understanding of how power structures actually work. The political machinations feel authentic rather than fantastical, which makes the stakes feel real and immediate.
This isn't a comfortable read, but it's an honest one. If you're looking for fantasy that tackles real issues while delivering compelling characters and sharp action, Priest of Bones delivers on every front.
