Lightfoot

By: Joe Kuster

Narrated by: Stephanie Savannah

Life as a plaything of the divines is harder than it sounds.

As one of the downtrodden in Eden’s Meadow, TJ has led a life of scraping by as best he could. With little more to his name than a winning smile, his life takes a turn for the interesting as he befriends Serina, a rebellious young woman among the godlike Devas that control his realm. Being a test subject for her magic seems innocent enough, even if she occasionally tinkers with things she shouldn’t.

Unfortunately, her experiments on him don’t go unnoticed, and as soon as her family finds out, he’s as good as dead. About to be pulped by dozens of angry higher powers, Serina saves him the only way she can: by binding his soul to hers and flinging him through a portal to another world.

Landing in the realm full of dangerous creatures and sinister adversaries, he finds that the pact has changed him in more ways than claiming his soul. The newly minted adventurer has his work cut out for him, especially since he doesn’t have any idea how to use the magic that’s been stuffed into him, much less what to do about the oaths that require him to love freely and spend his nights carousing.

Join TJ on this riveting adventure that spans multiple worlds and help him discover the secrets of the Devas as he struggles to survive and fulfill his oaths.

Disclaimer: This series features a protagonist raised in a higher realm where free love and indulgence are the norm and has a set of morals and ethics that are different from our own. While it contains explicit bits, they are clearly tagged and easily skippable, if that's not your thing. His story includes building harem-like relationships with multiple devoted women and does not fade to black. Also, this story is not game-lit, it doesn't feature crunchy rules-heavy systems, there's not a stat in the house, and the MC doesn't exploit world mechanics. However, it isn't for the faint of heart. For 18+ listeners only.

Great book
one of the best I heard in a while.... Great job all the way around.

Great start

Overall very enjoyable. I felt some of the situations towards the end of the book were forced and seemed an odd way to add more drama and tension. Looking forward to the next book.

Nice start to a new and different series

Sometimes difficult to tell characters apart, but the story is very good and a little different from others of this kind. Looking to getting into Book2 and seeing how TJ overcomes the things he has no control over.

Great book

This is a really good book and I thought the narrators did great. I would definitely recommend this series.

Easily a new favorite

There's some irony in the fact that Stephanie Savannah just happens to be the narrator for both of the best series in this genre (check out Heretic Spellblade if you haven't already). I was more than pleasantly surprised to find this book to be equally well written and enjoyable to that series. Joe Kuster is a true master storyteller, and I'm very excited to move on to the next book in this series.
