The Jewel of Bas by Leigh Douglass Brackett audiobook.
Genre: scifi
On a harsh, half-forgotten world where legends walk as close as hunger, Ciaran the wandering minstrel and Mouse his sharp-eyed, sharp-fingered wife live by wit, song, and whatever can be stolen back from those who hoard. One evening on the edge of the Forbidden Plains, a campfire tale turns real: the Kalds, savage servants of the sleeping boy-god Bas, drag the pair toward Ben Beatha, the Mountain of Life, where Bas lies dreaming beside the Jewel of Bas, a relic said to hold a destiny for all mankind. Inside the mountain, Ciaran and Mouse find not holy mystery but a ruthless system of chains and labor, ruled by cold intelligences that wear the shape of men. As captives vanish and a vast machine rises in the depths, the couple must gamble everything on escape, on unlikely allies, and on the dangerous question at the heart of every myth: what happens when the god you fear is real, and might not care if mortals live or die? Blending romance, grit, and uncanny science, Brackett spins a swift planetary adventure about love, survival, and the price of immortality.
