About this listen
Unleash the Light in "Ascendant of Shadows: Hero of Light"
Nathan's ordinary life is upended when he's abruptly transported from his modern world into Elarion, a realm where magic thrives and darkness looms. Guided by a mysterious voice, he discovers newfound magical abilities and sets out for the capital city of Arkanis, seeking answers and a way to cleanse the creeping darkness threatening to consume him.
Along his journey, Nathan forms unbreakable bonds with Dorian, a courageous stonemason's son; Lyriel, a High Elf mage with untamed powers; Selene, a Dark Elf sorceress entwined with his fate; and Thistlewing, a young Fae boy harboring secrets of his own. Together, they face treacherous forests, sinister agents of the Dark One, and internal struggles that test their unity and resolve.
Will Nathan rise as the beacon of hope Elarion desperately needs, or will the encroaching darkness claim him?
"Ascendant of Shadows: Hero of Light" is a thrilling epic fantasy filled with magic, ancient prophecies, and the timeless struggle between light and darkness. Join Nathan on his journey of self-discovery, where bonds are forged in trials, and the fate of a realm hinges on the choices of one man.
Embark on this epic adventure and witness the rise of a legend!

Story
In my past life, I heeded the Blood Code: I rescued people, slaying monsters from the inner plane. For my trouble the Inquisition condemned me for blood lust and burned me at the stake. And in my current life my family is dishonored in the eyes of the emperor, there's a bounty on my head, and I'm the subject of a divine dispute. Well then, no better time than now to surprise them all. Give me but a drop of blood—and the hunter will become the prey.

Tala had to fight tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge a path to power that was her own. She knows it’s her duty to use that power to serve humanity, defending them against the creatures of the untamable wilds. However, she skipped a few steps in her education, like apprenticing to someone who actually knows what they’re doing. Now, Tala has to balance learning as fast as she can with paying off the veritable mountain of debt the Magic Academy dropped on her shoulders for the opportunity; not to mention staying alive.

Hello, Welcome to my nightmare. My old name before waking up in a new world was Kevin. Now, my fellow prisoners call me Crow, the guards just call me scum and normally follow it up with some kind of kick, hit, or whip. I was your classic nerdy history substitute teacher. My children have all left home. My wife and I were empty nesters, and I was settling down to a nice peaceful life until a van ran me over when I was taking out the trash. Now, I woke up in a ruined summoning circle. I didnt live up to their desires and was forced into slave labour.

Imagine you find yourself in a world that prizes martial arts above all else, and that I am the descendant of an ancient clan who have honed their skill from generation to generation to rise to the ranks of the most powerful . . . Bet you're surprised, right? The thing is, most of my teachers say I'm a hopeless, talentless loser. No big deal, at first glance at least. I can survive just fine without talent. There's just one catch—I'm already dead. Or am I?
