Publisher's summary

Fire can’t be tamed.

Wisp is a pyromancer: A magician who draws energy from fires to make his own flames. He’s also a criminal, one job away from retirement. And it can’t come bloody soon enough.

Leading his misfit crew, Wisp ventures into a charred and barren forest to find a relic that could change the realm forever. But they aren’t the only ones on the hunt, and the forest isn’t as barren as it seems....

A jaded gang leader longing for retirement

A bloodthirsty magician with a lust for power

A brutish fighter who’s smarter than he looks

A young thief desperate to prove herself

A cowardly navigator with secrets that won’t stay buried

Together, they must survive fights, fires, and folk tales that prove disturbingly real - if they don’t kill each other first.

A dark fantasy novella with a unique magic system, perfect for Joe Abercrombie or Brandon Sanderson fans wanting a fast-paced book.

Props to the Author For the Hard Work

Comments regarding the author's narration are unfounded. While he is an Aussie, I (from the US,) had no trouble understanding because he speaks clearly and presumably writes without his native patois. My only critique with the performance is that I lost track of which character was speaking due to little differentiation in the narrator's voice.
Will listen again for better enjoyment.

Hire a Narrator

Only a Brit could possibly understand the story. It might be a terrific story but the narrator is unintelligible.
