Book description
The Hanged Man by K.D. Edwards Review
When Rune Saint John steps onto the mystical island of New Atlantis, he carries the weight of his murdered House and a ward worth killing for. Max isn't just any boy-his blood holds power that makes him a prize in the deadly political games of the Arcana Courts.
Edwards doesn't waste time with gentle introductions. Within pages, Rune's world explodes as he flees with Max from those who would see them both destroyed. The author's background in fantasy shines through every twist of this tarot-inspired realm where ancient magic meets modern desperation.
What makes this audiobook truly compelling isn't just the high-stakes plot-though watching Rune navigate deadly court politics while protecting someone he'd die for keeps you breathless. It's how Edwards weaves Rune's mysterious past throughout the present-day chaos. Each revelation about his tortured history adds layers to a character already stretched thin by loyalty and love.
The setting itself becomes a character. From ghost ships anchored in red light districts to impossible skyscraper farms that defy logic, New Atlantis feels both familiar and alien. When Rune finally faces the Convocation, the island's ruling body, everything changes in ways that'll leave you desperate for the next installment.
This isn't gentle fantasy. It's sharp-edged and unforgiving, much like Rune himself. The audiobook format brings an intimacy to his internal struggles that makes his journey feel personal, immediate. You're not just watching Rune fight for Max-you're feeling every calculated risk, every moment of doubt from someone who's already lost everything once.
Perfect for listeners who like their magic served with healthy doses of political intrigue and emotional complexity.
