Publisher's summary
Michael Kingman has been an outsider for as long as he remembers. The court which executed his father also exiled him and his family. They branded him a traitor, and the nobles who had been his friends turned their backs, prepared to let the legendary Kingman family die on Hollow's city streets.
Only they survived.
And it should come as no surprise to Hollow Court, or the king, that they've been searching for the truth ever since.
History is written by the winners, truth buried beneath lies until it's forgotten. Justice seems impossible in a city where the price of magic is a memory. But Michael Kingman is determined to make everyone remember....

A great debut fantasy book, Will buy the Next one!
The narrator is amazing!! The dialogue is great, and the prose flows beautifully! The protagonist is engaging and incredibly proactive!
At the end, I felt there were some important questions I still should have known the answer to. I know there Will be a sequel, and answers Will probably come there, but they felt integral to the storyline, hence I felt they should have been answered.
All in all, a fantastically fun book!! You won't regret picking this up!

Good story let down by bad writing. Convoluted.
it seems like someone came up with the bones of a great story and gave it to a complete hack to write. The major plot points are jammed in where they don't really fit so the narrator goes on these over elaborate descriptions of what he was thinking at the time to try to reconcile the story. He also over describes things that have no relevance to the story at all, as if the narrator is a completely self-obsessed but not very bright. If you really like Joe Jameson, as I do, you will enjoy the story despite the stupid vehicles the author uses to move it forward. If you don't, you probably won't get far.

Big fan
Really enjoyed the story. Great characters with well developed personalities. Really liked the relationship between magic and technology, gave the story an authentic feel!
Joe Jameson's performance was perfect as always!
Only issue was sometimes the volume changed levels between chapters, not great with headphones on!

Disappointing
A great premise but it just didn’t deliver.
The story spiraled down and down into mush.
The narrator shows great promise and his female voice is incredible , even if some sound similar.

Very engaging.
I really enjoyed this book, good length though the more the merrier to my ears. The characters were all really interesting, the narrator did a fantastic job of creating individuals and the plot was really engaging. I just came on here looking for book two but no, at the time of writing this is a singular novel, also sadly nothing else from this author. Please Nick Martell, write many more similar stories, I will certainly read them. I very much recommend this book and the narrator Joe Jameson too

In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. While their bodies are frozen, their minds, still active and awake, are uploaded into a massive quantum computer. The first group are all astronauts, about to leave Earth on a one-way interstellar colonization mission. The second group consists of convicted murderers and volunteers who elect to serve their sentences in a virtual-reality prison.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

The Beast had Belle. Killian Black has me. How I got here doesn’t matter, even though he says it does. Says it was my choice. He doesn’t get it, though. It wasn’t ever a choice for me. And now, he’s changing the rules. The agreement was one month. For 30 days, I’d be his. He’s no longer satisfied with my body alone, though. He wants my soul, too. Wants every part of me. And even though I can pretend I’m safe when I lie beneath him, this man does something to me. Something wicked. A thing that will break me.
