Emperor's Assassin: Audiobooks in Order
Fantasy with a blade at its heart: Kai Butler’s Emperor’s Assassin series has reached its fourth volume with Dragon Blood Curse, the instalment currently in our catalogue. The title alone sketches the territory, courtly danger, dragons and a curse to unpick across eleven and a half hours. A series that sustains itself to a fourth book has momentum, even if the listening public has been slow to leave its verdicts behind.

Why listen to Emperor's Assassin?
Michael Ferraiuolo narrates, a busy and well-regarded voice in character-driven fantasy, comfortable carrying an eleven hour and thirty-eight minute runtime on his own. For a series named after an assassin, tone is everything, and a narrator who can move between menace and intimacy earns his fee.Where to start is the easy question to answer honestly: not here, unless you already know the series. Dragon Blood Curse is book four, and our catalogue does not yet hold the earlier volumes, so new listeners should begin at the beginning elsewhere and return. The series will suit fans of fantasy built around a single dangerous protagonist, and listeners who prefer their epics in digestible eleven hour instalments rather than forty hour monoliths.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 3.5/5
Five ratings averaging 4.3 is a whisper, not a verdict, and I refuse to pretend otherwise. What the whisper says is at least encouraging: the handful of listeners who have reached the fourth volume score it well, and nobody abandons a series at book four out of duty. Still, with a sample this thin my rating stays conservative until more voices join in. Consider this a cautiously hopeful pencil mark rather than ink.
