Whispers of the Wild: An Apocalypse LitRPG

Path of Dragons, Book 2

De: Nicholas Searcy

Narrado por: Eric Jason Martin

A Druid's search for his missing sister lands him in the middle of a deadly battle to fight back the forces of tyranny in the second installment of this action-packed fantasy epic from the author of Death: Genesis.

The world has been remade. Transformed by the touch of the World Tree, Earth has regressed to a pretechnological age. Machines no longer function, nations have fallen, and the remnants of humanity struggle to survive in a world brimming with danger . . . and power. But from the ashes of civilization, Ethera—a mystical energy that grants supernatural abilities through a game-like system of stats, spells, and magical evolutions—has emerged.

After surviving a plane crash and finding himself on an island in the Pacific Northwest, cancer-stricken Elijah Hart was given the powers of a shapeshifting Druid. As nature's champion, he's fought mutated monsters, armies of fantastical creatures born from folklore, and interdimensional invaders from another reality. But he can no longer live in isolation.

Having forged an uneasy alliance with the dwarves, goblins, and gnomes of Ironshore, Elijah sets out on a quest to reunite with his sister and her family. Along the way, he helps those in need—be they beasts or people—and plays the role of both healer and protector, battling plague and peril in a cursed tower of puzzles and alien threats.

But unbeknownst to Elijah, his kin have fallen under the tyrannical control of a rising despot. It seems a former-sheriff-turned-warlord has seized the suburbs of Seattle and declared himself their unquestioned ruler. And he doesn't take kindly to challenges to his authority . . .

The second volume of the hit LitRPG series—with more than 15 million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

excellent continuation, steady progression

solid pacing, grounded world-building, and a balanced progression of challenges without the usual clichés like overpowered MCs or random god-tier enemies. The focus on Earth and gradual expansion of the universe seems to keep things cohesive and engaging.

I love what you did with the path of cultivation and game leveling perfect mix.

it's not much I didn't like about both books, I'm loving them so far but I have to say Roman really sucks.

Liking the development so far

I do wish the side characters weren't so utterly stupid, but I suppose it's still a nice setup for the MC to be in conflict with Roman. Hoping to see more dragon aspects in the coming books as well.

excellent story

this is my current favorite LitRPG. while only 2 books are on audible right now, there are 11 queen on Royal road/Patreon. This series is so different from the standard 'numbers get bigger' and 'dumb guy with a hammer' litRPG. it has substance,

I hate half of the book but in a good way

Great book! I love the different perspectives.
It pulls the reader in and makes them feel invested because of the world building and characters. I already got the third installment.
