Story4 out of 5 stars 41
Amaford, a city of prosperity and trade. Merchants flock to it, sailors swear by it, but the people curse its name. For a city of such stature, its dark side runs to its core. Its people struggle to survive the harsh conditions that come with its popularity. More so, the people of its Bridge Districts, or better known as the slums. This is where we find our story, a story covered in filth and poverty.

A prophesied king is born, but not all will benefit from his foretold conquests. In a realm where only clerics are permitted to practice magic, Kibure, a mere slave, draws the attention of much more than just his master after wielding an unknown force in a moment of desperation. In a twist of fate, Sindri, the priestess hired to strip Kibure of his power, defies the law, revealing designs of her own. This wayward pair will have to work together if they hope to evade capture at the hands of the Empire's most potent wielders.

On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things - ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future - it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her.

All of the stories you've heard are wrong. They always tell you that starting a new life in a fantasy world is an amazing experience, full of magic, adventure, and true love...but they never tell you what happens when it's over. They don't tell you that it just happens again. And again. By the time you start your third new life in a row, all of that initial amazement wears off.

Great Story!
I liked the way the author let the progression build so as to keep the listener interested in the narrative. The story makes an unexpected change in the storyline that is definitely different than one would expect.
The narration was well performed with good vocal pressure.
I recommend this audiobook for ages 12 and older due to some violence.
I was given this audiobook for free and I freely give it my opinion and rating

Good stuff
I enjoyed this as an easy going listen. While it wasn’t as good as How Not To
Be A Rogue, it was a great follow up. If you don’t mind a laugh an mild language then this book is for you. Sean Duregger is an excellent choice of narrator. Look forward to the next instalment. Definitely worth the cost of a credit. Many thanks to Zack Brooks, an Sean Duregger for the opportunity to listen for free

Fantastic story.
It always amazes me how an author can, with just a few words, create. Be it creating an image of a person, a sense of emotion or an entire world, the power of words never ceases to amaze me,
My reason for this opening statement is I am astounded that in just 4 short hours Zack Brooks has created a living, breathing world, an incredibly likeable character and made me equal parts saddened by his plight and excited for his tale.
This is a strangely emotive story that touches on such subjects as racism, loss and guilt and I grew in just a few short hours to really care Roland and I was really cheering for him through all the difficult situations he finds himself in and Sean Duregger's excellent narration really brought the little man to life.
I admit that when it ended I was sad to see his tale end so suddenly and I can only hope that, one day, I'll get to experience more of Roland's exploits in Amaford and maybe, just maybe, visit Berstead.
