but the one you're probably looking for is by S. A. Hunt, right? That's the fantasy one about the outcast who becomes a monster hunter. I found the full, unabridged audiobook exclusively on Audible. It's narrated by Andrew Tell, and he does an incredible job with the gritty, tense atmosphere. His voice for the main character, Robin, has this perfect weary determination.
Sometimes it helps to search using the author's full name plus "audiobook" to filter out other titles. I used a free Audible trial credit to get it, which was great because I ended up loving the whole series. The production quality is solid, no weird audio glitches or robotic narration that you sometimes find on less official platforms.
Honestly, the hunt for this drove me a little nuts. I kept finding old westerns and romance novels with similar names. Pro-tip: search the ISBN if you have it, 978-1543639139. That'll take you straight to the right product page on most retailer sites. I ended up buying it directly from the publisher's site, Podium Audio, but that was a few years back. Looks like they now direct you to Audible or Downpour for distribution. Downpour is a decent alternative if you prefer to own files outright instead of a subscription lock-in, though their app isn't as slick. The narration's worth it though; Tell really brings the desolate landscape and the protagonist's internal struggle to life.
Just checked my library app—Libby usually has a decent selection. For 'The Bandit', it seems hit or miss depending on your local library's consortium. My branch didn't have it, but I did see the Kindle version available for borrow. Might be worth asking your librarian if they can do an inter-library loan for the audio format. If you're not tied to a subscription, Chirp sometimes has deals on indie fantasy titles, though I haven't spotted this one there yet. Google Play Books and Apple Books list it as well, but Audible still looks like the primary vendor for the audio edition.
Found it on Audible after a quick search. Andrew Tell narrates. Used a credit for it last month. Good listen if you like dark fantasy with a lone-wolf protagonist. The audio sample on the store page gives you a solid feel for the tone.

I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me—because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself.
I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn’t been enough for him, if I’d been stupid for marrying him in the first place.
I’m at work one night when he walks inside—the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us. I was depressed the moment before he entered, but the second I look at his blue eyes, I forget the dumpster fire that my life has become. I invite him back to my place and it’s the most passionate night of my life. I expect to never see him again.
I just want him as an anti-depressant—but he wants me all to himself. I just got my heart ripped out of my chest so I want something easy and no-strings-attached, but he wants all the strings because he’s hooked.
I don’t get much of a say in the matter, and that’s not surprising when I learn why—because he’s the Butcher. The crime lord of all crime lords, the boss that overshadows all of Paris, that makes everyone abide by his rules—or pay.
And now I’m his.

All her life, Raine had lived in her father’s shadow, ‘the Serpent’s princess,’ trapped in a world built on blood and stern control.
Then came Cole: a scarred ex-soldier, way older, dangerous, and a part of her father’s rival club who has made her feel seen for the very first time. Their affair is a crime, and their forbidden love a death sentence.
But when secrets come to light and betrayal bleeds through every oath, Raine must decide, will she save her father’s empire? or will she burn it down for the very man she was never meant to love.
I was supposed to disappear. Slip into a forgettable little town, stitch myself back together, and never trust a man again. I had a plan, a fake name, and a bruised heart too raw to feel anything. Then Colt Mercer looked at me from across the bar, and every single plan I ever made went up in smoke.
He is everything I should run from. Tattooed, dangerous, and commanding, Colt is the President of the Iron Vow Motorcycle Club and, by day, one of the most powerful billionaires in the country. He built his empire from nothing and buried anyone who tried to take it. He does not ask. He does not negotiate. He claims.
And the moment I walked into his bar, he claimed me.
But I am hiding a secret that could destroy us both, and the man who broke me in the first place has sent someone to bring me back dead or alive. Colt says he will burn the world before he lets anyone touch me. The problem is, I am starting to believe him.
Because falling for an outlaw king was never supposed to feel this much like coming home.
The Blind Bandit (#4 The Southern Werewolves Pack Series)

Brandon Kane, The Gamma of The Southern Werewolves Pack, volunteers for a dangerous undercover mission to locate a long list of missing girls who are all rumored to be auctioned in the largest sex-trafficking business run by a vampire named Kennedy Strauss. Going in with no backup and very little reliable information, Brandon has to face the ugly reality of the underworld business. He has to make his way in and out without blowing his undercover and not putting the people he was sent to rescue at risk.
Celeste Diamond is the underworld's renowned assassin known as the Blind Bandit, who works for diamonds. A highly skilled and incredibly sexy, the Blind Bandit is the elite bodyguard of Kennedy Strauss who barely leaves his side. While it seems she is driven by her duty to protect her employer, Celeste's true motive is far greater than her duty to the vampire businessman.
She is blind, but it's not her inability to see that concerned him. She sees him coming.
I've read a lot of historical fiction, and 'The Bandit' had been on my TBR for ages because the premise—outlaws in a specific period—always intrigued me. I finally picked it up last month.
It's solid, but not a masterpiece. The research into the social conditions that create banditry is meticulous, and you can tell the author spent time in the archives. However, the protagonist felt a bit like a vehicle for those historical details rather than a fully fleshed person. His motivations were clear, but his inner life seemed secondary to the plot mechanics of the next heist or escape.
For fans who prioritize atmosphere and historical texture over deep character studies, it's absolutely worth a look. The descriptions of the landscape and the grind of peasant life are vivid. If you're coming from something like Hilary Mantel expecting that psychological depth, you might find it a bit thin. I enjoyed it well enough, finished it, but didn't feel that urgent need to press it into a friend's hands afterward.
A decent weekend read, but it hasn't lingered with me the way the best historical fiction does.
I think the main antagonist is actually a bit of a moving target. For a good chunk of the early story, the obvious foe is the patriarch of the rival cultivation clan, the Luo family, who schemes against the protagonist's group and tries to snatch their resources. But around the 200-chapter mark, it gets more complicated. A shadowy organization called the Black Nether Hall starts pulling strings behind the conflicts between various bandit sects and clans, aiming to destabilize the entire region. Their leader, Elder Nether, is built up as this massively powerful figure pulling the strings.
Honestly, though, I've seen some arguments that the real antagonist is the world itself—the cutthroat, dog-eat-dog rules of the cultivation and bandit society that force the protagonist to constantly fight for survival. The narrative keeps introducing new, more powerful enemies from larger factions as the protagonist's strength grows, so the 'main' antagonist sort of escalates. Last I read, there was heavy foreshadowing about a long-sealed demonic entity that the Black Nether Hall might be trying to resurrect, which would definitely take the top spot if it gets loose.
Finding a copy of 'Bandit' can be a bit of a wild ride, since it's a lesser-known serialized web novel. I managed to track it down on a site called WebNovel after some digging, but honestly, the formatting was pretty messy with a lot of pop-up ads. Your mileage might vary.
What worked better for me in the end was just buying the ebook straight from Amazon. It was only a couple bucks, and having a clean, permanent file on my Kindle app was worth avoiding the hassle of sketchy sites. The story itself is this gritty progression fantasy—definitely worth the small price if you're into that genre.
