About this audiobook
The King of the South has been on his throne for three weeks, and the war everybody is waiting for is four hundred miles away. What is in front of him is a desk, a kingdom of ninety-one great houses, and a question the old king named from a wall and never once asked: what is done on their ground?
Davin cannot order the answer out of anybody. He can only ask. So his wife takes a false name and a draft horse and rides up the coast road to find out for herself, the General is set to teaching a king to hold a doorway, a five-year-old blackmails her way into the sword yard, and the new Madame Isolde spends two days in a crate to reach a house nobody leaves.
The Man Who Asks is the quiet year of The Heart of a King, in which nothing is permitted to happen, and a girl with a silver teaspoon changes everything.
