Severian przygotowywał się do fachu kata, lecz zakochał się w uwięzionej kobiecie i złamał dla niej obowiązujące katów zasady. Został za to wygnany z konfraterni i wysłany do odległej prowincji. Zabrał tylko katowski miecz, maskę i czarny płaszcz przynależny znienawidzonej profesji. Droga, którą ma pokonać, okazuje się trudniejsza i bardziej zawikłana, niż sobie wyobrażał.

0.0 The Shadow of the Torturer (audiobook) abandoned at 34%
I'm abandoning this audiobook. I've read it before in print and although the narrator isn't bad, I'm bored by it. The print version was actually interesting. The audio one just doesn't work for me.

I really liked the ancient archaic feel of this book even though it is set in the far distant future. I can't wait to read the rest of the tetralogy.
