Publisher's summary

This title will be streaming in Audible Plus through September 1st, 2021.

Lindon has a year left.

When his time runs out, he’ll have to fight an opponent that no one believes he can beat. Unless he learns sacred arts the right way, from scratch, he won’t have a chance to win...and even then, the odds are against him.

In the course of their training, he and Yerin travel to the Blackflame Empire, where they fight to master an ancient power left behind by a fallen clan. This is Lindon’s chance to learn a true Path, but there are those who do not wish to see these lost techniques revived.

Success means a chance at life, but failure means death.

In the sacred arts, those who risk the most travel the farthest.

I need more.

I just discovered this series 4 days ago, and I’ve already finished all the books that are currently out. I really need audible to get the next book read. A great series I can’t wait to see were it goes

New Favorite

I've been lost for some good sci-fi since I finished the Bobiverse series, and happy to have discovered this series by Will Eight. Join Linden on his journey from bullied to humble power. It fun, exciting, and the relationship between characters is authentically written. The narration is excellent! This narrator is on top of his game. An excellent series for any sci-fi fan.

3 down, more to go!

Truth: I am easy to please, like to be entertained, and enjoy almost all audiobooks for one reason or another. What I’m getting at is: I don’t understand why there were negative reviews!

I just finished Book 3; that’s my 48th book for 2021. Books 1 & 2 were 44th and 46th. I have DEVOURED them!

I started because they were included free with the subscription, I stayed because the story building and world creation have been fascinating for me. I love most sci-fi and these books deliver quite nicely! I would thoroughly recommend this series even if I spent credits. To lightly touch on some of the negative remarks: I feel that the story moves at a good pace, I don’t believe there is anything unnecessary to the story (I like all the caveats), and the magic/power system at play feels natural and fresh.

All around kudos to the author and narrator; much thanks for producing high quality material and has brighten my last 2 weeks!!!

couldn't stop listening

the story is so engaging and enthralling. i have nothing bad to say at. I just want to keep listening and find out how this story ends for Lindin.
I finally got used to the narration towards the end of the book. I've been listening at .85 speed since Book I. he talks so fast. after learning his cadence when speaking, I can now keep up. my only other critique is all the female voices sound the same.

Just wish I could finish the series...

Considering the first 8 books are currently free with Audible, you can't go wrong. Action packed and fun. This is like an ongoing superhero origin story where the characters are continually developing their skills in each book. Or like leveling up a dungeon crawl character without bogging down in item stats.

The narrator does a great job even though sometimes he reminds me of Casey Kasem. Book 9 comes out tomorrow and I can't wait!

Couldn’t stop listening!

I thought that after all of the deeply intriguing setup in the first two books, the third might begin to follow some pattern or unfold in a predictable way. I was so wrong! This has been my favorite book so far, and I’ve grown to love the characters so much!! Already starting the next book... 🥰

Getting better

The story definitely gets better the further along the series gets. The main character becomes more likable as he gets stronger, which in and of itself is a major improvement to the story.
