Narrado por: Aurora Bliss, Boise Blue

One young boy must rise above adversity and attain the strength needed to defy fate.

In a world where a cultivator’s prowess determines their social status, Wu Jian endures relentless bullying by his own kin for being perceived as a coward. As the heir to his clan, he is expected to be strong and unyielding—even at just 8 years-old, long before he will reach the Age of Majority, when young men and women can begin to cultivate.

After a brutal beating by his older half-brother, Wu Jian’s life is forever changed when his best friend has a prophetic vision: if he cannot grow stronger, he will die and she will be stolen. But with years before he can even begin to cultivate, how can he possibly defy a destiny where the fate of all he holds dear is at stake?

Witness the rise of one young man as he faces adversity, forms bonds of love and friendship, and prepares for the moment when he can finally take control over his own destiny. The path to true strength is long and arduous, but Wu Jian vows to be ready when the time comes.

Severing Time & Space is a slow-burn light novel series that takes a character driven approach to the xianxia genre. Perfect for fans who want all the familiarity of a cultivation novel with a few twists.

Good, but there was a problem with the recording

Excellent beginning story we see his origins. It’s too bad. The recording kept going into an echo chamber.

Iron Fist meets Naruto

This has to have been the best story I've read from Brandon Varnell yet. He really did is research on ancient Chinese mythology and traditions. I love how it feels like the story of Iron Fist from Marvel Comics and Naruto combine into one. A small weak boy whom everyone hates, grows into a great warrior who earns respect and admiration. I really like how his harem starts with his childhood friend and the royal princess with room for more. The one problem is that a few chapters sound like the audio equipment is malfunctioning, but it's just a small price to pay for a great story. I really recommend this new series and can't wait for book 2

repairs to the audio

The audio is being updated soon but once the issues are fixed it is a solid 4 star book.

Good story...... Needs audio fixing

I would give a 5 on the Overall, but the audio for Chapters 23, 30, 31, 40, and 41 have a out of sync tinny sound to it.

If this is fixed, I would be happy to rate the Overall a 5.
