'A gritty, heart-pounding tale of betrayal and bloody vengeance' John Gwynne

When the task is a killing, be quick and make sure of it.

Torment is an indulgence.

Save it for only the most deserving.

Born in the troubled kingdom of Albermaine, Alwyn Scribe is raised as an outlaw. Quick of wit and deft with a blade, Alwyn is content with the comradeship of his fellow thieves. Yet an act of betrayal sets him on a new path of blood and vengeance, which leads him to a soldier's life in the king's army.

Fighting under the command of Lady Evadine Courlain, a noblewoman beset by visions of a demonic apocalypse, Alwyn must survive war and the deadly intrigues of the nobility if he hopes to claim his vengeance. But as human and arcane forces gather to oppose Evadine's rise, Alwyn faces a choice: can he be a warrior, or will he always be an outlaw?

The Pariah begins a dark and bloody new fantasy epic from New York Times bestseller Anthony Ryan, whose books have sold more than a million copies worldwide.

Be aware: discription is not the premise, but the plot summary.

At times this seemed to not know where it wanted to go. Good parts mixed with few bad parts come just a bit short of a great story. Some sequel bait. Some flat characters, some not fleshed out enough. Suffers badly from the 'it was always meant to happen this way' trope,.. and could have easily been avoided.

Interesting and engaging, with unsatisfying finish

…. From one of my most favourite authors. Anthony Ryan once again didn’t fail and wrote another perfect book. And here it is supported by an excellent reader, who manages to bring the characters to life. I wish all audiobooks were as perfect as this one

Another perfect story….

My first book from this Author and I enjoyed it a lot. It has a strong story, enjoyable characters and villains. The narator is very good. There is a good amount of philosophy as well as humor.Combat is good, though strategy and tactics in the main battles are... sub par and sometimes downright stupid. And there is a time period in which the MC learns A LOT. Almost impossibly much. Other than these two points I have no complaints, and I am a very critical reader.

Great Book with very few flaws

The story is gripping and the author excels at describing situations. I won't recount whats happening in the story, since others have already done that. But the charme of it comes from the way it's written. The main character is an outlaw and we follow him throughout the story. It's written from the first person perspective which for me took some getting used to. But in this way we get an outlaw's outlook on the nobility and the church with a lot of sarcasm and a keen I to look through lies and bullshit and a clever head ob his shoulders to navigate through it all with more or less sucess.

But after finishing all three volumes what is most compelling is, that you get no clichee storyline. For me it was the story with the most surprising plot developments. And have I mentioned the very well written characters that you learn to love, hate and understand?

I can definitely recommend it!

I didn't see this coming
