Downtown Druid

A Progression Fantasy Epic

De: C.B. Titus

Narrado por: Heath Miller

An action-packed new progression fantasy from the bestselling author of Armor and Deadman Walking.

Locked away. Left to die. He'll master his powers to survive, then thrive.

Betrayed by his former gang and thrown into the Rendhold Underprison, Dantes has spent the last five years scraping by. A bastard of human, orcish, and elvish blood, he's lived on the periphery of the periphery, lying, cheating, and stealing to survive.

After a run of bad luck, he's made a powerful enemy who seeks his head.

But that's where his rise to power begins. Thanks to an unexpected alliance with a fanged friend, the druidic powers locked within him come to life. He has all the tools he needs to turn things around, he just need to master them.

Because you can never underestimate a Street Rat...

Don't miss this progression fantasy series perfect for fans of Dishonored, The Blacktongue Thief, The Lies of Locke Lamora, and Baldur’s Gate!

About the Series: A slow-burn progression fantasy focused on an Anti-hero MC with a code rising through the criminal underworld of a city-state using newfound powers and quick wits. MC's powers will develop slowly, but he will use them in creative ways to get ahead, and in the meantime he'll do whatever it takes.

Amazing

Great story and world. Pretty cool that for once its a story of a druid without you staple druid animals like bears owls and wolves bht instead using common animals found in cities.

The growth of Dante

Basically what I did not appreciate in the book was the randomness of these gods as Dante's listed them They were truly honest and inspiring per se

Dantes

He’s a terrible person and an amazing protagonist, great beginning to a new series and I’m excited to see what’s in store.

Pretty good

This was interesting, enjoyable, and easy to read. Heath Did great as always and really brought the characters to life. I’ll be continuing on most likely

pretty good story

this is a pretty good story especially if you like more gritty characters this one wasn't my preference.

Fantastic

Best book I’ve read in a while. Looking forward to more. Don’t skip this one

cliff hanger much. Seems inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo

I have a feeling this is going to turn into an academy story.
Cliffhanger aside, this was quite good. There were editing. This story seems to be a fantasy version of The Count of Monte Cristo. Inspired by.
I recommend it.

Finally a Druid that is not just a tree hugger

I avoid listening to books about druids. Most authors make them extremely weak or limit what they are allowed to do. This is the first book in a while that breaks that mold. The powers of the druid make sense and are useful!

The characters are interesting and lead to a really good story. About to start book 2!

I like the dark and gritty style of the book.

I love how it shows the perspective of what it would be like in a fantasy world. The different race gangs are an awesome take on real life prison and their segregated cliques. Really cool concept 9/10 stars. Worth the credit.

A fun prison adventure story about a druid

First, I need to start by saying I don’t read a ton of progression fantasy. This one was fun and it never got too crunchy with the progression stuff, which is perfect for me, he pretty much just learns new Druidic powers as it goes.

The story was a fun popcorn type read where the MC goes from place to place kicking ass and the author is able to show us a very interesting world in the process. I found myself entertained the whole way through. The writing is clear and snappy in a way I enjoyed.

I’ll definitely check out more of the authors work.

Overall a fun and enjoyable read.
