Free Audiobook : The Olympian Affair (The Cinder Spires, Book 2), by Jim Butcher

Two years after the clash that shook Spire Albion, the skies are buzzing with the threat of all-out war in The Olympian Affair. Jim Butcher’s steampunk saga soars higher as Captain Francis Grimm, now a feared privateer aboard the AMS Predator, is sent to Spire Olympia for a trading summit that could make or break alliances. With Spire Aurora’s armada flexing a terrifying new weapon, the stakes feel personal for Grimm, whose loyalty to his home Spire runs deeper than the mists below.

Grimm’s crew is as lively as ever: Gwendolyn Lancaster, sharp as a blade; Bridget Tagwynn, tougher than she looks; and Rowl, the talking cat who’s still convinced he’s in charge. New faces join the fray, including a cunning duchess and a rival cat named Fenli, stirring up trouble and banter. As airships clash and political schemes unfold, whispers of an ancient force tied to the surface world creep into the mix, hinting at a danger bigger than any fleet. Butcher’s world crackles with magic, swordplay, and the hum of etheric crystals, pulling you into every heart-pounding moment.

This audiobook, brought to life by Euan Morton’s stellar narration, is a whirlwind of aerial battles, sly diplomacy, and characters you can’t help but cheer for. It’s a story about loyalty, courage, and the kind of showmanship that could tip the balance of a world on the brink. Whether you’re here for the cats or the cannons, The Olympian Affair delivers a ride that’ll leave you itching for the next chapter.
