Book description
Sworn in Steel: A Descent Into Shadows
Douglas Hulick's Sworn in Steel drags listeners deeper into a world where power corrupts and survival demands unspeakable sacrifices. Here, in the second installment of the Tales of the Kin, our antihero Drothe stumbles through a labyrinth of betrayal that feels as suffocating as it is inevitable.
The narrative voice pulls you into the murky depths of the criminal underworld, where Drothe-now a Gray Prince-discovers that elevation brings not glory, but a noose tightening around his neck. Each chapter crackles with the tension of a man drowning in circumstances beyond his control, marked for death by forces he barely understands.
Hulick crafts an atmosphere thick with dread as Drothe flees toward the Despotate of Djan, carrying secrets that could destroy him. The prose whispers of ancient grudges and blood-soaked politics, while the pacing mirrors a heartbeat racing toward its final moments. This isn't merely fantasy-it's a descent into moral ambiguity where every ally wears a mask of knives.
The audiobook format amplifies the psychological torment, transforming Drothe's internal struggle into something visceral you can feel in your bones. As enemies close in and time bleeds away, listeners will find themselves questioning whether redemption exists in a world that feeds on despair.
A masterful continuation that proves some chains are forged from within.
