The entire Spellslinger series is coming out in audio, with each book released simultaneously with the print and ebook versions! Best of all, the narrator is the incomparable Joe Jameson who also narrates The Greatcoats series. You can hear an excerpt of his fabulous work below:
When we were choosing narrators for Spellslinger, I really wanted someone who could deliver a performance rather than simply read the novel out loud. Joe has a knack for giving each character they’re own voice and style, and for bringing an actor’s sense of drama to the work. I very much hope you enjoy the audio series as much as I do!
Les vieux maîtres de sort aiment raconter que la magie a un goût. Les sorts de braise ressemblent à une épice qui vous brûle le bout de la langue. La magie du souf e est subtile, presque rafraîchissante, un peu comme si vous teniez une feuille de menthe entre vos lèvres. Le sable, la soie, le sang, le fer… cha- cune de ces magies a son parfum. Un véritable adepte, autre- ment dit un mage capable de jeter un sort même à l’extérieur d’une oasis, les connaît tous.

The way of the Argosi is the way of water. Water never seeks to block another’s path, nor does it permit impediments to its own. It moves freely, slipping past those who would capture it, taking nothing that belongs to others. To forget this is to stray from the path, for despite the rumours one sometimes hears, an Argosi never, ever steals.
