Publisher's summary

Is he dead....

...Is he just missing?

What are they hiding....

For fifteen-year-old Harrison Grady, the thought of knowing what happened to his father dominates his every thought. His father and his elite task force, The Silver Falcons, vanished one night thirteen years ago while on a top-secret mission. Under the decree of the Destine Elder, they may never be spoken of - even by Harrison’s family. An eerie silence…

...No one dares break it

The absence of his father and the silence about his disappearance morphs into anger, depression, and anxiety in Harrison’s life. This manifests distrust with the Destine nation and their leaders because Harrison knows that they must be hiding something. Now with the chance to follow in his father’s elusive footsteps, Harrison is accepted into the Destine Academy where he will study and train to be an elite Destine warrior. Without any warning, the mysterious Destine Elder has become the Headmaster of the Academy. With his newfound skills and band of friends, Harrison devises a plan to investigate the disappearance of his father.

Make those who have vowed silence talk.

But…just as Harrison begins his mission, unexpected truths take him on a journey where everything he’s ever known changes right before his eyes.

Awesome

To keep it simple. This book keep me wanting more! Can’t wait to start the second one.

Catching story

Love this book! Can’t wait for the next one to be on audible for readers!

THIS BOOK WAS…….

I’m not very good at putting my thoughts into words so I’ll just say it’s mehh it’s not bad but doesn’t grab my personal attention or make me want to grab the next book right away I still will just to see if that one grabs my attention

Good book

I enjoyed the book it was worth the time to listen the narration was great too

the next book needs to be here on audible

I love it! I really want the next book to be here already. I know that you have a second book. I was the one who commented on tik tock recently I work in the oil. felt so I don't have time to read but I can listen and if you can make that happen that would be awesome. keep up the good work!

good book

good start to a series. moves at a fast pace. I feel like the author could really bring this series to life if he slows it down a bit.

Interesting story!

I really enjoyed the story and the world of the book. Harrison is a likeable main character and one who I found myself rooting for the entire story.

Great introduction into Ya Fantasy!

I do normally cut my teeth on some books that are a bit larger more complex and complicated, so I’m not picking up many Ya books these days! That being said I think that this story was interesting I loved the Dragon Ball inspiration expressing itself in the magic system! I do think I could have seen a couple slight plot holes getting the story going, and some of the characters still have yet to really express their individuality! But I think especially for a younger audience or even if you have love for some younger oriented stories like the original Dragon Ball, I think you will find this a fun and enjoyable read!

First audiobook I've listened to.

The beginning was a bit slow for me, but I couldn't stop listening when they got to school. One of the better books I've had lately. I'm very excited for the next one. Thank you TikTok for getting me to this book!

Good book and great story

Loved the book and the story was great but I would have loved a bit more detail and a slower progression. I felt like there could have been more and can’t wait to see this author grow and make some amazing books.
