The Painter's Promise

The Painter Trilogy, Book 2

De: Alexander Small

Narrado por: Alex C. Stewart

Betrayed. Trapped in a world of monsters. Determined to triumph.

Now a multi-billionaire and famed artist, Jack spends his time training in martial arts with his bodyguard and best friend, Jaheem. Having abandoned his magical gift, he’s done with the Painted Worlds and all their dangers.

They’re not done with him, though. A victim of conspiracy, Jack finds himself kidnapped and held captive by his estranged father, Arthur, and his head henchman, Hendy. Their crooked crew of gun-toting thugs force him to paint 10 priceless masterpieces, in exchange for his best friend’s life.

Gangsters’ greed and pride combine in catastrophe and Jack is catapulted beyond the canvas, into a nightmare of blood, teeth, and steel. One where the snake colossus, Anaconda, and his brutal minions control access to the portal. Trapped in a self-made prison and surrounded by enemies, Jack must escape or face certain death within his own painting.

Will Jack’s super-human powers and relentless defiance prove enough to conquer evil and help him return home? Will he have the courage to take revenge on those who deserve it?

The Painter’s Promise is a tale woven from tragedy, magic, and barbarism. Suitable for listeners age 12 and up.

Loved it!

Alexander has done it again! Jack had vowed never to enter another painting again, but circumstances beyond his control find him, once more, imprisoned in one of his alternate worlds. Alexander's intricate details and melodious flow of words make you feel as if you are part of the story and can see, feel, taste and smell along with the characters. Extremely well written, this page turner will keep you on the edge of your seat. Full of suspense and action, gritty at times, it does have some lighter moments as well, making a perfect balance. I highly recommend!

Great fantasy audiobook!

I read the Painter's Apprentice and loved listening to Jack (the MC) continue his adventures in this audiobook. The narration was just phenomenal, a perfect fit to capture the magical quality of the story. This second book in the series is a bit darker and more upper YA, fitting well as the series progresses in maturity with Jack. There's a new twist on vampires, giant lions, and snake monsters too. Basically, so much to love if you like a good quality fantasy adventure.
