The Grey Bastards: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

“[A] illusion masterwork . a dirty, blood-soaked gem of a novel [that reads] like Mad Maximum set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth.”-Kirkus Evaluations (starred review)

Jackal and his fellow half-orcs patrol the barren wastes of the Lot Lands, spilling their personal damned bloodstream to keep civilized folk safe and sound. A rabble of hard-talking, hog-riding, whore-mongering brawlers they might be, but the Grey Bastards are Jackal’s sworn brothers, fighting at his side in a land where there’ about The Gray Bastards: A Novel s no space for softness.

As soon as Jackal’s in charge-as quickly as he can unseat the Bastards’ tyrannical, seemingly unkillable founder-there’s a couple of things they’ll do different. Better.

Or at least, that’s the plan. Until the fallout from a fatal showdown makes Jackal start investigating the Great deal Lands for himself. Shortly, he’s thinking if his feelings possess blinded him to unpleasant truths about this world, as well as the Bastards’ place in it.

In a search for answers that takes him from decaying dungeons to the frontlines of a historical feud, Jackal finds himself battling invading orcs, rampaging centaurs, and grubby human being conspiracies alike-along with a host of dark magics so terrifying they’d give even the heartiest Bastard pause.

Finally, Jackal must ride to confront a threat that’s lain in wait for generations, even as he wonders whether the Bastards can-or should–survive.

Delivered with a generous wink to Sons of Anarchy, featuring sneaky-smart worldbuilding and gobs of fearsomely foul-mouthed allure, The Grey Bastards is a grimy, pulpy, masterpiece-and a raunchy, swaggering, cunningly clever experience that’s like nothing you’ve read before.
