Publisher's summary

A new home on the brink of disaster. A discovery of forbidden powers. And a savage winter fast approaching. Aldim does not suffer the weak.

The battle’s end was supposed to bring peace and establish the Bravers’ new home in the Shiverglades, but all it brought was pain and suffering. With his closest friends lost to another realm, over half of the settlement’s population injured, and missing supply chains, Hal doesn’t have a moment to rest. He may have won the battle with the Shiverglades, but he has yet to win the war.

The Beastborne has his work cut out for him if he plans to build a Sanctum that’ll last. Worse, a rival Founder plots against Hal, threatening to unleash an entity that is fated to scar the Manaseed and cull the Bravers Guild once and for all. Fortunately, there’s a lot to turn to that isn’t preordained. A Reaper-turned-friend, inventive koblins, industrious dwarves, Wyrd Strain, and Bonecrafting could defy their fate. And he isn’t the only one with newfound Class powers that might give them a fighting chance.

The Bravers Guild needs more than just survival. They need their home whole. But to do the impossible and reach across the divide between Worldshards to rescue their lost companions, the Manaseed’s Elysian powers must be stronger. Can the Bravers Guild Level Up their settlement and their Manaseed through building, fighting, and crafting to conquer the coming storm, or will they succumb to a doomed fate after all?

great read

very good read can't wait for the next book in the series definitely recommend

Good

Outstanding book, would like to see more and see how it ends. good job with it

Just Wow!

Love this series! The grouping of characters and magic system are fantastic... and who the heck doesn't love a magical talking otter. Bamboozle is now a common word in our home.

Don't you ever stop writing!

I absolutely love this author. Bravo! The amount of beautiful world building and character development puts you at the upper echelon of all writers.

Pretty good.

If only the protagonist wasn't an idiot at times I'd gave given it 5 stars.

Love the series!

This 3rd book has wonderful ideas, of dungeon crawling, settlement building, and crossing through rifts into another dimensions. But it felt rushed and was hard to sit through where Hal goes to rescue his friends and then before that where the settlement building led to alot of building stats. I think if the author wanted to add the building stats to the story, make it intriguing to the listener or reader, by adding unique material or challenges to the characters. Like the stones and wood are actually coaxed out of the slimes that they tame and or monsters. Where the settlement really starts to come together like Hal imagined in the being a place full of races and species of all kinds. which also means they build and construct their town in the same way. so far it's humans this dwarfs that, even the elves haven't added their touches

Lots of repetition

I love the book series, this nook was mostly details of skills and quests. The story didn't progress much, this doesn't mean that it wasn't good just less skill and quest explanation would have made it perfect.

Keeps getting better

I’ve fallen in love more and more with each book with my respect for the author increasing as well. I throughly enjoyed this book and how he has developed the narrative. It reminds me of the wheel of time with a main character fighting madness but I truly enjoyed how he has portrayed it. I cried in the culmination of an epic battle he reaches out to the tree and for his friends. It was impressive. He also has multiple threads of smaller stories going on at the same time that have me very excited for the next installment. If your hesitating on the series, go for it.

Kept me on the edge of my seat!

Or at least the seat in my mind’s theatre. Awesome book! Page turner that makes me want to read the next one when it comes out!

worth the time.

good listen, well worth the time and money. So far the whole series has been great.
