About this listen
The path to peace is paved in blood.
Or so Cutter tells himself during the long nights as he travels deeper into the Black Wood, wrestling with his inner demons and battling those creatures which emerge from the shadows seeking his life.
Meanwhile, in New Daltenia a violent organization thought long-extinct reappears and assassins roam the castle.
Matt, Chall, and Priest search for the truth about the Crimson Wolves, a search that will lead them to unimaginable peril.
Meanwhile, hoping to stop the attempts on their lives, Maeve is forced to return to the Assassin’s Guild, where any wrong move might mean her death and the death of those she’s come to love.
In the Black Wood, the Fey stir. In the Known Lands, the shadows lengthen, stretching across the world. And one man, known as the Crimson Prince, carries his axe, and the world’s hope, as he walks the bloody path before him.
He can do nothing else…for such is a warrior’s penance.
A Warrior's Penance is the fourth entry in the character-driven dark fantasy, Saga of the Known Lands. An action-packed epic about monsters and warriors, mages and assassins, and one man's quest to atone for a lifetime of blood and violence.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 111
One hundred years ago, the Eternals, 13 men and women closer to gods than mortals, stood against the greatest threat the world had ever faced. They died. All save for one who managed to flee with the enemy leader’s weapon, a cursed blade of incredible power. This is a battle he fights alone, for after they defeated the Eternals, the enemy used their magic to pose as their conquered opponents, taking over rule of the world in their stead. For the last 100 years, the people have believed that the legendary Eternals triumphed, that they are safe. Only the wanderer knows the truth .

An evil has risen in the land, one that, if not dealt with, threatens to start a war which would include the gods themselves. To counter it, the realm must call on its greatest heroes, its most courageous adventurers. Unfortunately, those great heroes, those brave adventurers, are all busy - being dead mostly. So it is left to Dannen Ateran, known in his youth as the Bloody Butcher, but more recently as the passed-out drunk at the table in the corner, to lead his companions against an army of the dead.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

The nightwalkers have returned, creatures that roam the darkness searching for anyone foolish or unfortunate enough to find themselves without light to protect them. And the people of Entarna carry lanterns and torches, wielding them as shields against the night's creatures. But sooner or later all lights fade. All flames go out. Torrik and his wife were once soldiers in the war against the Dark. But when their son Alesh was born, they left that life behind them in the hopes of keeping him safe.

The Downs, the poor district of the city of Avarest, is home to cutthroats and thieves, pickpockets and prostitutes, all of whom pay tribute to one of two powerful crime bosses. It is also home to Aaron Envelar, a disillusioned sellsword known as the Silent Blade, who cares nothing for the criminal overlords or their schemes, who only wants to survive and make a little coin. But when a group of thugs steal his mother’s necklace, the only link he has to his murdered parents, Aaron decides that sometimes gold isn’t enough - sometimes, blood is the only payment worth taking.

Okay, so jogging through Central Park after midnight wasn't a bright idea. But Margrit Knight never thought she'd encounter a dark new world filled with magical beings, not to mention a dying woman and a mysterious stranger with blood on his hands. Her logical, lawyer instincts told her it couldn't all be real, but she could hardly deny what she'd seen...and touched.

Enjoyed every book in this series and can't wait for the final book. I highly recommend Saga of The Known Lands
series. The battle scenes are great, the humor is cool, and the twist and turns in the plot are riveting. Do yourself a favor and purchase the series. Thank me later! Lol

just another great story by JP..!
the story line, as always with JP, is just great! the narration by BF is outstanding... what a duo! my only problem is that there isn't more but isn't that always the plight of the listener when the story is super, the weather bad, and one has the time to listen ... a bit of hot ovaltine (or a glass of good wine) and some cheese and crackers and my day/night is happily complete ... oh .. a lovely and loving wife is the very first step to this time of happiness for me ... I wish all listeners have the same sense of completeness!

Another awesome book by Jacob Peppers
I can only say that Jacob Peppers is a master in fantasy books! I have listened to other series of his. This series is my favorite. Like a spell, he pulled me into this amazing tale. I fell in love with the characters. I cannot imagine enjoying another series as well as this. The narrator was absolutely perfect. I could not bare to put it down, but hated for the end to come. I cannot imagine how he brought these characters together and wove such an intricate tale. They have won my heart. I just love them and the way they interact.
This is a must read. I hope in the not too distant future there will be another chapter in the lives of these colorful, enduring
Characters. Thank you for your hard work writing, and the time spent to engage just the right person to narrate this tale!

It was ok…
I liked the first few…. But this one seemed to drag on, with no real progress in the main story line. It just kind of set up a bunch of new story lines. I’m a bit disappointed honestly.
