Well-produced, interesting set-up for a plot line. Too bad it seems like it won't be continued?

The third instalment in the excellent Agent of the Throne audio drama series (and follow up to the Scribe Award-winning Truth and Dreams), Ashes and Oaths continues the story of inquisitorial agent Ianthe and the dangerous missions she’s sent on by Inquisitor Covenant. This time around Ianthe and her team are tasked with acquiring the services of an ex-Administratum information broker, on the war-scarred world of Dustcorn. When things don’t quite go to plan, and a dubious figure from a past mission reappears, Ianthe is forced to make some unwelcome compromises in order to get the job done.
This is really a story about how far servants of the Throne are prepared to go in order to achieve their goals, and the ways they find to cope with the repercussions of their actions. Excellent performances abound, while once again (and entirely unsurprisingly) the standard of sound design – especially the contrast in dynamics between the explosive mission segments and the hushed moments of reflection – is second to none. As a standalone audio drama it’s action-packed and entertaining, but it’s as a development of these characters that it truly shines.
