Deadpool meets Game of Thrones in this thrilling tale of demons, dragons, and treachery.
After Breed, a thief-assassin of small renown is chased by a dragon, tricked by a demon, almost killed by a psychopathic gang boss, and hunted by a ferocious spider, life really takes a turn for the worse. Sentenced to five years bonded servitude to a one-handed priest magician, Breed must find the hammer of the ancient hero known only as The Hammer of the North within a year and a day... or else. So, with only a drug-addicted vagrant, a rat-faced child, and a timid priest for backup, Breed sets out for the mighty city of Valen and the tomb of the Hammer. What could possibly go wrong?
Grim, dark and funny, Dangerous To Know is the first audiobook in the epic sword and sorcery trilogy, The Chronicles of Breed.
When it was first published in 2014, this story was shortlisted for the Robert Holdstock, British Fantasy Society, Best Novel Award.

I liked this. The narrator isn't perfect but good. Some characters were very good, but he could read the non-dialogue parts better, I think. I'm not sure if it was the narration or the writing that made it hard for me to listen properly sometimes. Breed is an okay character with some fun aspects, but I can't say there was much of a character arc. I'm curious to find out whether there will be as much passing out and deus ex machina elements in the second book of the series. A couple of medium-sized plot holes need ignoring if you want to enjoy the book. It was fun enough for me to want to give part two a go so all is good.
