Mark of the Fool 9

A Progression Fantasy Epic

As the enemy escalates, it’s time for Alex to free himself of his limitations once and for all.

The Mark of the Fool.

A ‘gift’ from Uldar that enhances the bearer’s ability to learn any skill, but—in return—one cannot practise magic, engage in combat or use divinity at all. Alex Roth, the latest Fool, has found ways around his limitations.

Now, however, he has hit a wall.

To master the most powerful spells, Alex discovers that the Mark can no longer be worked around. It must be removed…or transformed. Luckily, The Fool of The Traveller’s cycle had laid down the groundwork to transform the Mark of the Fool, but her notes and equipment are hidden away in her sanctum somewhere in the far north.

If Alex wants to be truly free, he must find it.

And time is running out.

The Ravener continues to escalate and the hidden church hunts him relentlessly.

Will he transform the Mark in time and unleash his true potential or will his enemies find him first? In either case, their confrontation will be a mighty reckoning.

Book 9 of the Best-Selling series. Continue your fantastical journey into a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, deepening mystery, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

love the books love the narrator

another great book for my collection I've enjoyed every book so far and can't wait for more the narrator is great and I love reading everything he does

never disappoints

Mark of the fool has consistently been one of my favorite books since night Lord. It doesn't shoe away problems with talking about a system it doesn't get lost in the fantasy and stop writing realistic characters. The author just keeps doing such a good job of writing a realistic character in a fantasy setting and I feel like most of the characters are that way. it's very nice

Nearing the End

it feels like the end is in sight. The progression has been wonderful and the development of each faction nerve wracking. I look forward to the coming book.

you get answers and they don't disappoint!

nothing at all this book was amazing. everything from narrator, characters, story, this book has it all and more

Epic

This was awesome i love how so many things got tied up and the sweet revenge and relief can’t wait for the next.
