Fate & Flux

The Watchers of Astaria

Broken by magic. Forged by fate.

Astaria is ruled by wizards, everyone knows that. Quinn is a journeyman blacksmith for the Wizard Usorin until Quinn loses his arm and his livelihood after a tragic accident. When he is befriended by Roland, he learns the secret behind the wizard’s power and is set on a path against a foe who seeks to destroy not only Astaria, but magic itself.

Enjoyable YA Steampunk

This was my first experience with Patrick Dugan's work, and it was great. After losing an arm, Quinn, an apprentice blacksmith, looked for a new path for his life. The story was fun. The worldbuilding was complex. The characters were entertaining. I liked all the twists and turns of the story. William Walker's narration was awesome, and his performance added to the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Fun read!

Great story and characters. Compelling narration. Keep the series going so we can see what happens next!

Great Narrator!

I have listened to Patrick Dugan's Fate and Flux multiple times, and it is my favorites steampunk fantasy. William Walker's voice is captivating, bringing the characters and story to life in a way that few others can. The story itself is wonderful, full of intriguing twists and emotional depth. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an engaging and beautifully narrated experience.
