Arcane

The Arinthian Line, Book One

By: Sever Bronny

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

Fourteen-year-old Augum and friends Bridget and Leera dream of becoming warlocks. But with a kingdom in total chaos, it will take courage, sacrifice, and an iron will to make that dream come true. The lord of the legion, a vicious tyrant, has overthrown the king in a relentless and murderous quest for seven mythic artifacts - and Augum's mentor, the legendary Anna Atticus Stone, possesses one. While Augum struggles with demons from a painful childhood, a betrayal puts him, his friends, and his mentor through a harrowing ordeal that threatens to destroy them all... and change the course of history.

Arcane, the debut novel in the fantasy adventure series the Arinthian Line, follows three friends as they navigate an ancient, abandoned castle, endure grueling training, challenge old mysteries, and learn that a bond forged in tragedy might just be the only thing to save them from a ruthless enemy.

Read the book and had it read to me

as my title says I experienced this book in 2 forms and it is wonderful. if you get a chance I suggest both as well.

Very well written but depressing!

The writing is excellent in this novel and that is the only reason I finished it. I found the book extremely depressing and would experience a negative mood while listening to it. it was very intense.

Amazing story

I really loved this story. It was captivating, fun, and adventurous. I really liked the heroes and really hated the villains which to me sets the story up for some really great possible twists.

Young Adult Fantasy Perfection

The plot and deeply emotionally connected characters really suck you in in this coming of age tale of a peasant boy (Augum) turned warlock apprentice. Journey with the fantastic 14-16 year old children and the adults around them as they learn the Arcane arts while their kingdom is turned upside down by a maniacal necromancer. The narrator brings the characters to life and really gives personality to each of the characters during dialog. This book does have some child abuse, graphic violence, and adult lewd dialog, but does not include cheesy intense romance, romantic themes, or sex scenes.

Wonderful

I started this audiobook without any expectations, and I must say that it won me over. I enjoyed every second of it!
