The king is dead. Long live the king.

The Mage-King of Wessex has passed away, and the stage is set for a battle royal: the richest mage in England versus the most powerful coven of witches. And Conrad finds himself in the middle.

The struggle is a civilized one at first - Lord Mowbray and the Daughters of the Goddess meet for a conference in Mowbray’s Mage Palace of Pellacombe, with Conrad, Mina, and Saffron sent to see fair play. Until first tragedy and then murder plunge the staff kingdom of Wessex into a dangerous crisis, and Conrad has to draw on all his team’s powers and his own experience to avoid a bloodbath.

The sixth installment of Mark Hayden’s The King’s Watch is a deep study of power at the sharp end, where families and clans are stretched beyond breaking point in the brutal world of magick.

Grab yourself a copy of Eight Kings, and immerse yourself in the addictive world of the King’s Watch.

I really enjoyed this entire series. I'm admittedly a fan of series, i am one who can let myself fall into another world and feel like I'm experiencing it if the tale is written well enough. I couldn't get enough of Mark Hayden's Conrad Clarke and his pals. I keep checking weekly to see if there are more of the series on Audible. Will undoubtedly purchase every last one! And Ciaran Saward's narration is spot on. Absolutely perfect snark and the female characters are not lost in the high pitched version of a man's voice. Just a great experience. CAN. NOT. WAIT. FOR. MORE!!!!!!!

Unique story, really fun plots & love characters.

Conrad’s girlfriend Meena is so annoying! In this book several chapters are written from her point of view and I just can’t stand her. I’m giving up on this series, but I’ll check out what else the author’s written as I do like his stories.

I’m giving up

I can’t keep up with the magical politics but it’s a lot more fun than real politics. Good plot and good mystery with inclusion of diversity in great ways.

Still great and goes deeper into story

In the first books, I loved the world, The Watch and The Invisible College, The author is very talented, but the books are becoming too cumbersome with endless introduction of side characters. The most interesting and fun character was Mr. Mole who left too early. I really enjoyed the books at first, but I really needed a list to keep the characters and their plotlines all straight. I started to make one and then realized that I didn't want to work that hard for books that weren't holding my interest any longer. If the author would just keep to a core cast it would be easier to follow. When my mind starts to drift away from the story, I know I am bored and need to put it down.

If the author starts a new series, I will definitely give it a try.

Enjoyable to a point.

This series has gone completely off the rails. I liked the first couple of books enough to keep going but the last two books have been just awful. I hate the main characters so much I wish for them to be killed off horribly. Conrad is a sanctimonious prig who treats everyone as if they are children and is always telling them what they can and can not do. That is except for his narcissistic fiance who has self-titled herself a princess. Come on - she is a criminal and absolutely not a princess. She has no business in the magical world and the way she treats people who actually do have magic is disgusting. The way Conrad worships her and does whatever she says is also disgusting. And now the author is giving her a voice and her own portions of the story to tell. Oh yea, and there are multiple times throughout the book where you are now referred to read other books to get "the story" being mentioned.

Anyway so I'm three quarters of the way through the book and I realize I have no idea what is going on and I absolutely don't care. So that's it. I turned it off.

Claran Saward is an awesome narrator and I would definitely listen to more books that he reads.
