Mark of the Fool 9

A Progression Fantasy Epic

De: J.M. Clarke

Narrado por: Travis Baldree

As the enemy escalates, it’s time for Alex to free himself of his limitations once and for all.

The Mark of the Fool.

A ‘gift’ from Uldar that enhances the bearer’s ability to learn any skill, but—in return—one cannot practise magic, engage in combat or use divinity at all. Alex Roth, the latest Fool, has found ways around his limitations.

Now, however, he has hit a wall.

To master the most powerful spells, Alex discovers that the Mark can no longer be worked around. It must be removed…or transformed. Luckily, The Fool of The Traveller’s cycle had laid down the groundwork to transform the Mark of the Fool, but her notes and equipment are hidden away in her sanctum somewhere in the far north.

If Alex wants to be truly free, he must find it.

And time is running out.

The Ravener continues to escalate and the hidden church hunts him relentlessly.

Will he transform the Mark in time and unleash his true potential or will his enemies find him first? In either case, their confrontation will be a mighty reckoning.

Book 9 of the Best-Selling series. Continue your fantastical journey into a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, deepening mystery, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

The Ninth Book Was Amazing!!!!

What to do with life now. LOL!!! I love this series and the twist and plot keeps you entertained. It is such a well written story. Can wait for the next installment.

Great Story performed by a great reader

Travis has done an amazing job once again. I kinda hope we get more stories of Alex as an Archwizard

Somehow gets better and better!

First I'm happy every chapter has a title, just a neat little thing I enjoy. 2nd I'm glad they're always working on the story and lore. Things don't get forgotten, they do eventually come back and have an importance! And I CAN'T wait for the next one, which I think is supposed to be the final one

Amazing

I absolutely love this series I would recommend it to anyone who has ever read anything ever. Thank you for making such an amazing series and the best book in the series so far! I want to thank the Travis Baldree and J.M.Clarke for making this book so special and inspiring. Everything from progression to set up to pacing all of it was just wonderful and beautifully performed. Thank you for such an amazing piece of work and once again I cannot wait for the next book. This is already one of my favorite series and I can’t wait to see how it ends.

Love the book but kinda feel bad for the ravener

This series has been amazing!!! From the very first book it’s been an epic roller coaster ride that never disappointed. Seeing Alex finally get rid of his shackles is amazing. I knew he was going to become a monster but what we got was even better than i had imagined. But there’s one character I feel bad for and that’s the ravener. Sure it’s the villain and has killed a lot of people, but it’s doing exactly what it was created to do. From its very inception, it has been doing what it was born to do and followed instructions and protocols properly. In a way it is an innocent in all this. I haven’t finished the book yet though I’m close to the end. I’m hoping I see Alex repurpose the Ravener instead of destroying it outright. Give it a new purpose in life and something to live for that doesn’t involve being a birther of terror and disaster. Plus losing access to dungeon cores would suck for Alex.

If you are this far you are in it till the end,

The big reveal happens that describes the origins of the cycle. Slightly disappointed with the Secret Church, Oldar, Fae and Ravenor reveals. Felt the explanation was too simple. However still love the characters and the progress.

love
