Story
Having survived the monster, Kohl Obsidian, Wiliam Wilde had hoped his life would settle down - that he'd finish his senior year of high school with no further adventures. But life isn't so simple for a potential magus, especially one who's overcome as deadly an enemy as Kohl. Instead, William has unwittingly earned the raptor gaze of even greater foes.

The Chronicles of William Wilde continues! William survived Sinskrill, but he’s unable and unwilling to forget what he suffered there. Some hardships endure. And despite his wonderful, new life on the lush paradise of Arylyn, nightmares continue to haunt him. But closure will only come if he finds a means to reconcile himself to that terrible chapter of his life. Only then can he save his loved ones who remain on Sinskrill: the wise troll, Travail, and William’s teacher and one-time tormentor, Fiona. Both remain trapped under the boot-heel of the Servitor, Sinskrill’s terrifying ruler.

Publisher's Summary
A riveting tale of magic, mystery, and adventure, The Chronicles of William Wilde will thrill listeners who loved The Summoner Trilogy and The Maze Runner.
On a cold winter's night, just shy of his 17th birthday, William Wilde became an orphan. It was a simple car accident that claimed the lives of his family.
Eight months later, at the start of his senior year of high school, a beautiful, mysterious girl enters William's life. Captivating and confident, she holds secrets about William's heritage, secrets of which he himself is unaware: rare magic flows in William's veins.
And watching William from afar is Kohl Obsidian, a monstrous, undead horror. He won't rest until the tragedy he started eight months ago culminates with William's death.
William's life hangs in the balance, and he must discover a means to vanquish a creature that has never been defeated.
Enter a mystical world where heroes are forged from the unlikeliest of metals.

Basic teenage growing up adventure.
This is a good story meant for teenagers to read. If your an older listener keep that in mind when you start to listen to it. Overall a good story with excellent narration from Nick. As always the narration elevates the story to more than it is but for a basic teenage magic story, it’s worth listening too.

Great book!
Any additional comments?
This is a fun book set in the 80s (my favorite time period). It is YA-but I like YA. I thought the characters were well developed, the storyline was fast paced, and the narrator was excellent. Can't wait for the next book in the series!

The magic of STRANGER THINGS and THE MAZE RUNNER
William Wilde and the Necrosed by Davis Ashura, narrated by the sublime Nock Podehl, is a tremendously well-written and exciting story. Nick's performance confirms that he, once again, deserves the credit given him as one of the top narrators in fantasy today.
Fans of Rick Riordan, Suzanne Collins, James Dashner, and Brandon Mull will find a new home with The Chronicles of William Wilde. Those who loved Indiana Jones, the Goonies, and E.T. as kids will also get lost in this Urban Fantasy.
This story is magical. Both literally and figuratively. Ashura has managed to unfold an adventure to us that bridges the generational appeal, promising to delight middle-aged audiences all the way down to high school audiences, much the same way that STRANGER THINGS has done. As a 40-year-old, I found myself living in a nostalgic time through the story, with all the 80's references, while not being able to take the ear buds out as the plot sped along. The magic system is just being introduced, and we get to learn with the characters. For a while, I wasn't sure who was on whose side. With a fair amount of twists and discovery, hints of teenage love, and plenty of adventure, William Wilde and the Necrosed promises a rollercoaster of thrills to a wide audience. The characters feel like old friends from a long time ago . . . and some are, if you know Ashura's other works. You will not be disappointed.

Handles grief poorly.
I know that the death of your family is a fantasy trope, but grief has a way of transforming a person especially in their formative teenage years. The MC starts high school like nothing has changed.
The upbeat tone of the main character immediately creates a cognitive dissonance that makes it hard for me to emerge myself in the story. It’s been eight months!

Another great series.
As i come to expect with Davis he keeps you interested in the story. He doesn't slow it down when developing characters like some author which can drag a littlw. The characters developed in action which in my opinion is so much more enjoyable. i look forward to the next books.

I enjoy books like this. I really do. I see where there is growth required and I hope it comes fast bc the MC is super naive.
I have to read the next book. I hope it can stop my frustration. Lol. Still the story actually messes with your emotions and that is the making of a great story

Logical story? No.
Logically this story has too many holes. my main problem with the story, if she is supposed to get him on her side how is lying to him going to help? Is the author going to use the cliche, "I forgive her cuz she's a cute girl I like"?
