Publisher's summary

The Beginning After the End: Publisher's Pack contains books 1 and 2 of The Beginning After the End series.

Early Years, book one:

I never believed in the whole “light at the end of the tunnel” folly where people, after having a near-death experience, would startle awake in a cold sweat exclaiming, “I saw the light!” But there I was, in this so-called “tunnel” facing a glaring light, when the last thing I remembered was sleeping in my room - the royal bed-chamber, as others called it. Had I died? If so, how?

King Grey once benefited from unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability but now finds himself reborn in a society dominated by magic. Given a second chance at life, the once-king strives to understand his role in this new world and the purpose of his reincarnation while correcting the mistakes of his past.

New Heights, book two:

I had a family now, I had people who loved me. It was a feeling I never wanted to give up. I’d treasure it, fight for it if I had to...and for that, I needed to better myself. More so even than when I had been a king.

Given a second chance at life, Arthur Leywin wishes above all to grow strong enough to protect his family, as the memory of his cold and disconnected past life as King Grey still haunts him. To this end, Arthur adopts the persona of the masked adventurer, Note, and delves into the dungeons under the forbidding Beast Glades. On his adventures, Arthur discovers a strange magical blade that responds to the dragon’s will inside him, befriends a powerful young conjurer whose past is shrouded in mystery, and battles the deadly Elderwood Guardian. Yet all his efforts might prove for naught when Arthur makes an enemy of a talented conjurer from a very powerful family, putting his very future at risk.

Arch-addictive series

The series hooks you after 15 minutes and after that is impossible to put down. This book is a really fantastic example of the subgenre of fantasy centering around a lovable, mysterious, insanely OP protagonist, neither ever getting boring (as of the middle of the 5th book) for lack of challenge or strife to overcome, or ever seeming heavy handed or unnatural. The series (a mere first attempt by the author) admittedly lacks the literary refinement and epic scope of (e.g.) the Kingkiller chronicles, but any reader down-to-earth enough to get past a nom de plume like “TurtleMe” (lol by the way) is likely to find it just as entertaining. Better yet, the author seems to improve as he writes, so the books only get better as the series progresses. Also reminded me of the Summoner series and Kings dark tidings.

Good stuff

Great book with great performance from Travis. This is how cultivation books should be like. Not everyone hates you and everyone under the sun wants to kill you because trash this trash that is the typical book.

Easy read, nice story, no boring parts

Great story read by great narrator. No boring parts and awespme main character who is actually clever

Great ride

It is wonderful to find a series with an intelligent main character. Even more so, both the main character and the world are fascinating. Very fun!

A wonderful beginning.

I can't wait to see where this goes. I love everything about it and I can only see it building to something even greater from here.

Great book for young teenage boys

A adventure akin to The Lord of the Rings..following the story of a king from earth being reborn as a child in a different world where the population's status is determined by magical abilities. In this new world the Maine character retains his adult intellect and experiences from his previous life as a king.
