Story
Otto Shenk is the youngest son of a minor baron. He's also a wizard. Abused by his family and considered less than human by his kingdom, Otto does his best to survive. But everything changes when Otto stumbles across a tower hidden deep in a dark part of the forest near his home. A tower that was once the home of an Arcane Lord, the immortal wizards that long ago ruled the world. Otto’s life will be changed forever. And so will the world.

Story
A prophesied king is born, but not all will benefit from his foretold conquests. In a realm where only clerics are permitted to practice magic, Kibure, a mere slave, draws the attention of much more than just his master after wielding an unknown force in a moment of desperation. In a twist of fate, Sindri, the priestess hired to strip Kibure of his power, defies the law, revealing designs of her own. This wayward pair will have to work together if they hope to evade capture at the hands of the Empire's most potent wielders.

It was utterly unheard of, but even the most elite of killers sometimes faced the unexpected, and on this occasion, that could even mean their demise.

Though the practice of the current day is timid and uninspired, Will needs the knowledge that’s preserved and managed by the college. At every turn he finds that sorcery is supreme, while wizards are trained merely to assist and support those who hold the real power - a power based on an evil so deep that few who are living know the truth of its foundation.

After battling the hyenas, Eric gets a notification that something called a Place of Power has been found. That is the only clue that might help him get back to his native world. But there's a problem. The system needs mana to calculate a route. Eric simply doesn't have any, and he doesn't know when he will. That is because, due to the strange laws this world lives by, Eric's mana supply isn't filling up. But the Great System also exists here, though its laws are only partially functioning.

"There’s nothing there." The words may as well have been a death sentence to young Declan. Without mana, there could be no studying at the sky-piercing Pinnacle Towers, there could be no great monster hunts, and there could be no following in his father’s legendary footsteps. He’d be a cripple. But when a terrible accident forces him to flee, Declan learns the true nature of his mana. Just because it doesn’t resonate at any known frequency doesn’t mean it isn’t magic. Just because he can’t cast the same spells as everyone else doesn’t mean he isn’t a mage.

Publisher's Summary
Anna is clearly different from others. With obvious physical differences and powerful abilities, she's never quite fit in...anywhere. Having no knowledge of her parents, she sets out to discover her true origin. On the run for most of her life, she's become a master at eluding capture, even a little cocky, you might say. When a sticky situation forces her hand, she hitches a ride with a wizard, who whisks her away to another world where, according to him, she'd been exiled from as a child. This new magical place seems oddly familiar as Anna discovers powerful enemies and treasured allies on her quest for answers. The dangerous journey thrust her headlong into the arms of Kriston, who finds himself caught between sworn-duty and insatiable curiosity.

Excellent Fantasy Adventure!
The story is great and gets your attention and keeps you hooked all the way to the cliffhanger conclusion.
Narration was great and brought the story to life.
The story starts on earth but most of it takes place in a magical world called Genoa. Anna doesn’t remember where she comes from but soon after she gets in Genoa she learns about her family and her past.
Kriston follows orders from his brother which is a king. He is tasked with capturing and bringing the “spy” to his brother.
There are a lot of characters to keep up with and the story goes back and forth between the two main characters. It definitely required my full attention to understand everything that was going on.
There are unexpected twists and turns and the story is interesting and captivating with wizards, dragons, trolls, kings, etc...

Appropriate for an 11 yo
If you like golden dragons, blue trees and orange horses, this book might scratch that itch. It has the imagination that I look for in a fantasy novel... but just didn't flow well. The narrator didn't help much... moving from scene to scene leaving the reader wondering who she was talking about. I won't be continuing with this series, but it is age appropriate for YA.
Editors note: Please check the word "Speculum". The context in which it was used here does not match my definition

Really disappointed
Ok, there was a really great story here, but it got completely missed by the sporadic telling. It felt like there were about five hours where nothing happened and the exciting parts of the story were completely missed. Also, the narration really bothered me. When switching between characters, there wasn’t even a breath, so all of a sudden you’d go from one perspective to another and have no clue when it happened.

Good book. Decent Story.
I really liked this book in several different ways. I thought it started out very well and even though it didn't go where I thought it would, I still enjoyed it. Definitely solid fantasy writing by the author,
There are two negatives that I would give this book:
First, I wish it hadn't ended in a cliffhanger. I really hate that.. (I know I'm just complaining...)
Second, I actually liked the first parts of the book that took place in modern-day earth. I actually wish that this book (or another book) could have continued along this line...
I thought the narrator also did a very good job with this title. I'd like to hear her again in future books.
I requested and received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher, or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work.
