About this listen

Adrift in the void, Henrik’s rescue is only a prelude to slavery.

But his new life on Tyria is not at all what he expected. When the illustrious House of Quoll purchases him, Henrik finds himself living in the home of his old enemy, Prefect Brasca Quoll. Desperate to hide the truth of his last days on Heimir, Henrik dives into the murderous game of Tyrianite politics. Devastated by the catastrophe on the Norn homeworld, the Federation teeters on the brink of civil war.

While the Shining Ones maneuver their champions for the final confrontation, Henrik’s fevered visions unveil the scope of Moriigo’s nightmarish rebellion.

Aboard a stolen voidcraft, Brohr and Lyssa hurtle into the depths of the starry abyss, on a desperate exodus in search of safe haven. But the outer reaches of the system are full of strange worlds, haunted ruins, and bizarre cults.

As anarchy grips the streets of Tyria, Henrik vows to reveal the true peril facing the Federation: Moriigo’s return! While rival electors, assassins, and federal inquisitors plot the downfall of House Quoll, Henrik must bind himself to the future of his onetime enemies, lest the horrors of his prophetic visions come to pass!

Critic reviews

"Rich in detail, bringing his tale to life with a foreboding atmosphere and characters that are intense. Good dialogue, rapid-fire action scenes, explosive magic and wicked political machinations." (Tome Tender)

"This is extremely well-written grimdark and if you like your fantasy and sci-fi gritty...this is a book you should pick up." (Booknest)

"The Weeping Sigil never stops. It has a relentless forward motion. It's painful, and its glorious, and there are twists and turns that I never saw coming. It made my heart pound and yes, there was even a tear or two." (Sarah Chorn, author of Seraphina's Lament)

You can't go home again-

An excellent continuation. While the first book was focused on a single small area, the second expands out as our cast of characters travel to odd corners of this strange and dangerous universe, where interplanetary travel exists alongside sword and sorcery fantasy. The end is a setup for what promises to be an amazing conclusion.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR. . .

. . .and read this series now. All your friends will be impressed you discovered a great new fantasy and science fiction writer named Jordan Loyal Short. He's the rare talent who has visited different worlds , lived there, and brought the story back whole. It's all here: their mythology, history and cultures in a disciplined, tightly woven narrative which is both a meditation on philosophy and a white knuckle ride. I've got one volume left to read (Yes! It's possible to finish a trilogy!) and I'm boarding to make my return right now.

Great book!

I loved The Skald's Black Verse, and I loved The Weeping Sigil even more. You never know if a sequel will hold up to the first book, and Jordan Loyal Short went above and beyond with this one. I'm looking forward to book 3, these cliffhangers are intense! Excited for March 2022!

Really good new series!

This series takes some unexpected and quirky turns. Not quite GOT, but the author is really building a cool new universe with a blend of fantasy that is refreshing to hear. Narration is perfect!

A fantastic combination of space travel, Roman style society and Norse style feudalism

The audiobook of The Weeping Sigil is narrated by Aaron Smith and I found the narration to be excellent. The voices were fantastic and incredibly varied, with a range of regional accents and a chilling voice for Moriigo, one of the mysterious ‘Hidden’. The women sound female enough to be believable. There is plenty of excitement imbued into the action sequences by the differing speeds of the narration and the descriptive passages are delivered with care making it easy to visualise the amazing locations conjured up by the author. I will definitely look out for Aaron Smith’s narrations in the future.
