Web of Eyes (Buried Goddess Saga, #1)

by Rhett C Bruno and Jaime Castle

A rotten thief. A disgraced knight. Only together can they save the kingdom.

When the young king's soul is stolen by a cultist desperate to resurrect the Buried Goddess, exiled knight Torsten Unger makes it his sworn duty to get it back. He has one chance to restore his honor. But he can't do it alone. He'll need a thief.

Whitney Fierstown planned the perfect heist, one that would have made him a legend among thieves, until he got caught. Now, a knight with a questionable reputation is offering a deal: rot and die in a dank cell or join him on a dangerous expedition to put his skills to good use and earn his freedom.

Whitney and Torsten must put aside their differences and work together to battle unholy cults, demons, rebels, and worse to become the heroes their war-torn kingdom never expected...if they don't kill each other first.

So to be honest, I probably wouldn't have read this in book form. I only went forward with it because I *love* the narrator for audio, and it sounded interesting enough to give it a shot. Overall - entertaining. A bit formulaic at times, and far too much repeating of things (I don't need to be told that the creature is a Dire Wolf *every* time he's brought up. I'm intelligent and can remember it.). I think, had I been reading the paper version, I would have quit about halfway through. But Luke Daniels is talented enough to keep me listening. I'm not sure if I'll do #2 - I found Torsten to be an asshat and super irritating, particularly at the end. But...I'm curious about the story, so I may bite.
