Necromancer Arising

Book One of The Asterisian Chronicles

"His power flooded into dead flesh, forcing it to move. The flesh remembered how to work, and as Lyre commanded, limbs obeyed. Back muscles contracted, the spine snapped straight. Lyre fed more and more power into his Risen and imparted but one order: to kill."

Hated and feared for their magic, Necromancers have been hunted to extinction- or so it was believed. After ten years of isolation, Lyre Asterisian escapes an enchantment containing the ruin of his town and plunges into a plagued world on the verge of war. Lyre is forced to develop his unique powers and uses Necromancy in ingenious ways to survive. By steel, bone, and Risen flesh, Lyre defies death and, instead, strives to control it.

A really interesting story

There were some parts that I felt were weak, that being said, I listened to it all in one go. I think maybe some of the weak parts are supposed to be explained in later books. Either way. I’ll be waiting for the next one.

A good story like this needs a proper narration

this was a great story. I had some great world building. It started a little slow but the journey was interesting and compelling.

My biggest gripes is the fact that a proper narratior didn't tell this tale.

the best 👌

I can not wait till the next one is out. this book is must read

God awful narration

A good story needs a good storyteller. this does not have one. This AI narrator has all the brightness and zeal of a day old bowl of oatmeal. it is like listening to Alexa drone through LOTR. Painful, actually. My 5 yo could do a better job with Horton hears a who. whoever told this author that this was a good idea must have been deaf. the story itself could well be epic, on paper. But this "Narrator" ruins the entire book. get the printed version and save yourself the torture of listening to this thing.
