About this listen

From the critically-acclaimed author of PRINCE OF FOOLS comes the third volume of the brilliant new epic fantasy series, THE RED QUEEN’S WAR.

All the horrors of Hell stand between Snorri Ver Snagason and the rescue of his family, if indeed the dead can be rescued.

For Jalan Kendeth getting back out alive and with Loki’s Key is all that matters. Loki’s creation can open any lock, any door, and it may also be the key to Jal’s fortune back in the living world.

Jal plans to return to the three Ws that have been the core of his idle and debauched life: wine, women, and wagering. Fate however has other, larger, plans…

The Wheel of Osheim is turning ever faster and it will crack the world unless it’s stopped. When the end of all things looms, and there’s nowhere to run, even the worst coward must find new answers.

Jal and Snorri face many dangers – from the corpse-hordes of the Dead King to the many mirrors of the Lady Blue; but in the end, fast or slow, the Wheel of Osheim will exert its power.

In the end it’s win or die.

Mark's best yet. And that's saying something! fast paced, hilarious and tragic both. Clever and witty, epic and personal. From deserts to cities and the walking dead to winged beasts, Prince Jalan faces his toughest challenged, and choices, yet! Do yourself a favour and continue with this excellent series.

Mark's best yet!

Love Mark Lawrence’s and have just finished the third Red Queen book. A fabulous story but Sean Ohlendorf has got to be the best narrator out there, and I don’t say that lightly. He repertoire is vast and every single character is so distinct from any other you could swear there is more than one narrator. Hurry up and read some more Sean!
