Publisher's summary

Arden was left in the village by a dying mage, who never returned. With no way out of the village on his own, he had always held onto the hope that one day his magic would awaken and give him access to his spheres.

But he’s about to turn eighteen and it’s never come. Instead, he’s settled into his lot as a sarcastic and quick-witted innkeeper.

That all changes one night when his old flame, who escaped the village to become a mage’s anchor, returns.

Ard’s life is about to go through some dramatic changes, and he’s not ready for them.

Too bad, with magic comes responsibility and Ard needs to adapt quickly because he’s making more enemies than friends with his glib tongue. Thankfully, he’s got some help along the way.

Because he’ll need it. As the most powerful mage in the nation, he’s about to be thrown headfirst into the elite of the kingdom and a few jokes won’t stop a sword.

Excellent story and start of a new series with fantastic narrators.

This story is a start of a new series and I believe it will be the author’s best yet. The storyline is very intriguing, the MC is not too OP. The MC is just very relatable and his behavior is believable for his age and situation. I really also found the character interactions very enjoyable and fun.

The narrators were very good. The MC’s voice and speech patterns matched my mental image very closely. The other characters voices were consistently done very well. It is a pleasure to have both the male and female voices done so well. I have read the book and I have to say that the audio book is even better than the written book. This is not to common for me so I know it was an excellent narration. I can’t wait for the next audio books in the series to be released and I hope the same narrators are used.

Consistent storytelling with a balanced power dynamic.

A stand out in the genre, with both the MC and his companions having equal roles in the plot/combat.

Very refreshing compared to the normal formula of “powerful women” that must be protected by even stronger male MC’s.

Combined that with a solid performance by both of the narrators that really bring to life the snarky MC and the girl next door makes this my favorite series by Bruce.
