Publisher's summary

Before World War II could reach its conclusion, the world suffered what could only be defined as a cataclysm.

Legend has it that an experiment failed. Catastrophically so. And when it failed, the center of the United States, from the Sierra Nevada to the Mississippi river, became "The Waste", where everything changed.

In The Waste, every fantasy creature, fairytale demon, or mythological monster exists. From orcs, to neriads, ogres, trolls, wraiths, elves, harpies, and even beastmen. They all exist, and all despise humankind.

In the ruins of the west and east coasts, new governments have arisen. With new jobs.

Vince is a Ranger, a profession whose sole job duty is surviving in the waste, and taking missions from the Ranger Guild. Be it courier services, escorts, or simply exploring tombs and cities.

Taking up an escort mission, Vince encounters a situation that will shape his life forever onward.

As well as the lives of everyone in North America.

Warning: This novel contains adult themes and moral ambiguities. The main character is written as a real person in an apocalypse, and will not make choices that line up with society and cultural norms.

Everything I Love in One Book

Fantasy, magic and sex? Amazing! I just loved this book. I guess this can be called erotic fantasy, but it really felt like it was much more than that. Amazing characters and character development and a great environment. I loved the take on the whole post-apocalyptic world mixed with magic. Eagerly waiting for the sequel!

5 stars.. even with graphic sex

My.only wish is there were clean version options for audible... I don't mind skimming while reading, but graphic oral sex audio is not my thing.

A hot series

I postponed getting this book because of the awful cover and not so great title, now I am glad I finally got to it as it is a great adventure story about the post-apocalypse United States, but done in a very imaginative way as I am usually not a huge fan of post-apocalypse books. Surprised me that it caught my attention to the point that I ordered the next two books. #tagsgiving, #sweepstakes #monsters, #romance, #adventure

definitely recommend!!!

the female narrator did such an amazing job with the male and female voices! and its kind of refreshing for the erotic scenes to not be a "fade to black". I thought it would be awkward to listen to these scenes, but they were actually very tastefully written. i also didn't think i would like harem books, but all the women are so strong and well written, that i can't help but love it.. can't wait to listen to the second! this story is so good!

It's fun.

I read the comments on this book. Some more critical than others.

Listening to the story, yes the plot was easily predicable. However in this case, fun is really the only word that comes to mind.

However. I listened to this book whilst I was busy working. Some parts of the story got the heart pumping. I was one of the more faster workers that day. Sooo... Fun.

Good but not Clean

Story is a good post apocalypse fantasy. The voice acting is nicely done and the story flow moderately well. Only thing you might want to be carful of is that there a lot of sex in the book and they don’t skimp on the details. Other then that it’s a fun fantasy book.

This story is pretty decent

I think this first book is pretty decent for what it is. The guy gets raped and manipulated several times and it's passed off as oh he's a man he likes sex. That's challenging but as a whole there's good fights and interesting abilities.
