Second Soul

The Dreamon War Saga, Book 1

De: Corwin Michaels

Narrado por: Amelia Hugh

Is the search for the truth worth starting a war?

Alvar has been plagued by Dreamons since time immemorial. They stalk the night, in the mist between realms, to twist the dreams of mankind into nightmares and feast upon the primal emotions that dwell deep within. Thirty years ago, a desperate battle was fought and barely won, ushering in the first era of peace Alvar has ever known. The cost was high, but peace is worth any price…as long as it’s real.

In a cozy cottage deep in the forests of Delrythia, Callum prepares to leave for the university to study magic and join the Second Souls, men and women who risk their lives to touch the currents of magic. But when he overhears a stranger whisper orders to his parents with an offer of a silver knife, his world is turned upside down and he runs away from home, leaving everything behind.

A strange magic blossoms within him, one that ties him to a secret cult, to walking nightmares, and the Dreamon Realm itself. Callum must learn to trust again and find his own family while coming to terms with the power he wields.

Can’t wait to the next book!

I became invested very quickly. Fans of Sanderson will appreciate the character and world building of Second Soul. Michaels is a talented author and the narrator was a spot on choice to deliver this first in series novel. Now that the second book is out, I hope
The audio version gets here ASAP!

Captivating and leaves you wanting more

Having already read this one, I wasn't sure how different the audiobook experience would feel—but it was absolutely worth the revisit. The narration and production brought the story to life in a whole new way.
Wren remains my favorite, and the phrase "Favor made, favor paid" is still living rent-free in my head. The cast feels like old friends at this point, and I can't wait to continue following Wren, Lo, and Cal on their journey.
Fantastic audiobook production from start to finish. Highly recommend for both new readers and returning fans. 🤭📚

Outstanding fantasy tale!

I don't normally read YA novels, but thought the Dreamons, monsters that devour one's soul in their sleep, were an interesting enough concept to pick up the book. Michaels drops just enough lore on these creatures to keep you interested without losing the mystery around them. The same can be said about Callum, the first main character we meet. He's on a hero's journey, and the mystery surrounding his circumstance isn't one easily solved. The narrative is spot on for the intended audience, and as a parent, I don't feel like there was anything I'd worry about my kiddos reading.
And when you pair all that with the excellent performance of the narrator, I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable read/listen!
