Publisher's summary

A thousand years ago, Tung, a young thief, awaits his execution. Alone in a cold dark dungeon, all hope is gone...until Madrick, the disgraced royal wizard, is thrown into the dungeon with him.

Madrick reveals an incredible secret about a legendary spell, a spell which helps them escape their prison cell, and eventually their century.

As strangers lost in today’s modern world, the great spell is the only thing that keeps them alive. They think they are finally safe, until the fateful day when they meet Michael, a computer hacker who plans to destroy the world’s largest bank.

What happens when ancient magic meets the internet, and what if the horrors from a thousand years ago are waiting for the time-travellers in the present day? One thing is certain, with ancient magic brought from the past, modern life will never be the same again.

I really enjoyed this lighthearted romp!

I found this story unique and entertaining. It was an easy lm listen and the characters were engaging in a silly kinda way. The narration was good and the dialogue was realistic. I will eagerly by the next book in the series! Grab this one, you won't be disappointed!

Funny characters and situations, great concept.

I received a free copy of this book to review it. I really enjoyed the fun of the characters using the spell spell. There were a few clunky spots along the way and I felt the later characters could have used a bit more fleshing out. Overall it’s an enjoyable read and I’ll be adding the next book to my TBR.

TOTALLY FUNNY!

DARK TIDINGS : AGENT MAGIC IN THE MODERN WORLD BOOK BY KEN MAGEE is book one in the series. It is a multi genre book. Fantasy/comedy/time travel/medieval times. Tung,who is locked in a dungeon,thousands of years ago,gets a cellmate Madrick,the kings wizard who has fallen on real hard times. Madrick has a magic scroll which gives Tuck magical powers and this is where the laughter begins. The two escape,and the disasters follow these two like the plague followed rats. Wizards,good and bad are after them to stop the reign of madness and that is all I'm going to tell you about this book. Read on to find out just how much of a mess the two can get into.

For me the book started out and I though how silly this really is ,which kept me reading on till the very end.

I recieved this audiobook free from the author in exchange for an honest review.

a good mix of tech, magic, and tomfoolery

Interesting yet outlandish tale starting in the dark ages, but with a unique look at how magic could work. Made for an interesting story and had some good characters to carry the plot forward. Honestly, the worst part about the book was the voice used for the main character Tung. It fit the character but it was quite grating.
