De: Kirill Klevanski

Narrado por: Adam Stubbs

A forgotten people. A lost bloodline. A true Mage will rise.

Ardan Egobar is a young hunter from a remote mountain tribe. Destined for nothing more than the quiet rhythms of the wild.

But when fate drags him from his village into the heart of the New Monarchy Empire, everything changes. He steps into a melting pot of orcish mobsters, cigar-smoking dwarven bankers, and fashionforward elves—all on the brink of world war.

As Ardan grapples with his forgotten bloodline and discovers an intricate magic system, he begins a slow, compelling ascent, transforming from an innocent youth into a rising mage whose power may one day reshape history.

From Kirill Klevanski, the bestselling author of Dragon Heart, comes this epic new Progression Fantasy adventure about a young wizards rise to power, featuring a detailed magic system, expansive world-building, slow-build power progression, epic action, and unforgettable characters.

Great start

Really strong start. There is some strong world building. An expansive world has been created here. I hope it can continue to grow without becoming overcomplicated. Right now everything is cool and new. I like the MC. He is a cool character. His magic is novel and interesting. This world of guns and magic is unique and immersive. The narration was really well done.

The sins of our ancestors

You find something out about your family and it is not good for you now that you are away from home. That is what I felt for the MC, he is taken away from his family and put in a school in the capital city where he is hated because of something his great grandfather did. I loved that he was able to make some true friends. I hope there is more to this story.

Amazing

this was better then i had hoped. the narrator and production is impressive especially the music sections. The story itself kept me awake later then I normally prefer but the writing kept me pulling in. thank you and I can't wait for the next book

An EPIC to begin this series

This book is not only 40 hours for 1 credit but it's 40 hours of in depth story, amazing character development and a deep rich world. It feels like an omnibus of the first 3 books in a series with 3 distinct arcs that all wrap well.

Magical

A slow story filled with magic. I can't say exactly what I liked about it, but I couldn't tear myself away and listened and listened and listened!
What's more, there are two professionally performed songs with amazing vocals! Amazing!
