About this listen
In a world with ancient relics and forgotten magic, young Benj has always found comfort in the warm, flour-dusted corners of the village bakery. Adopted into a life of hard work, his quaint existence is soon disrupted by a chance encounter with a mysterious thief.
At the same time, Key, a lowly guard in Royal City, only wants to get by unnoticed. Yet, as luck and misfortune intertwine, he finds himself on an adventure brimming with secrets, conspiracies, and intrigue. As Benj ventures further from the life he knows, Key gets pushed further into the spotlight – both pretending to be someone they are not.

Ah, Nyil, with its magic, its monsters, and its petty gods. A divine spat leaves French medic Viv stranded in the middle of an arcane disaster zone crawling with undead horrors. Thankfully, there are strange allies to be found, not least the mysterious interface that helps humans survive in this merciless world. Viv will have to progress fast to survive this calamity and find civilisation. She will also need a bit of luck. Unless, of course, she becomes the calamity herself.

Story
Mark’s new life begins in the worst possible place—a burned-out village haunted by undead. Each morning these ravenous creatures disappear, only to return at night, driven by a relentless hunger. He'll need to stay low and think quick, because trapped and alone in the body of a child, he can’t level up in this new world. At least not yet. Soon Mark will learn that even among the living, safety isn’t guaranteed. When the small town that he ends up in turns out to be at the center of a conspiracy that threatens the world, he'll need to uncover the truth before it's too late.

Story
In his world, he was the last remaining alchemist, one of the few survivors living amidst the ruins of a once-great civilization. Refusing to give up on life, but seeing that nothing could save his home, he challenged himself to find a way out of such an inhospitable place. After years of dedicated research, he devised a ritual to transport himself to another world. But the outcome was far from anticipated. Instead of mere displacement, he underwent a rebirth. He ended up in a new body, in a new world, surrounded by new threats lurking around every corner.

Story
After a tragic mistake, Erevan finds himself transported to the work camp in Altheria. To the nobility, it’s an island-bound rehabilitation complex run by a powerful warden and staffed with short-tempered guards. To the inmates, ‘Alty’ is really a massive, city-sized prison. Thrown in with criminal humans, dwarves, and other races, Erevan must learn to navigate the island’s complex social system, as well as survive the sanctioned duels—the warden’s method of managing the convict’s anger and aggression. In Altheria, Erevan learns new smithing skills and forges unexpected alliances.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Ten-year-old Solvei and her tribe of fire elementals, the áed, are on the run from those who hunt their kind, when an encounter with a Titan—a monster larger than mountains—leaves everyone but Solvei dead. Now alone, she makes her way into unknown lands where the skies pour down a fire elemental's greatest weakness: water. Between a dark fog that swallows cities; tall, bearlike people at war against technologically superior humanoids; and worst of all, the ocean, the world beyond the fire elementals' dry wastelands is anything but welcoming.

Story
In the vast, untamed wilderness of Animara, we find one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures—the Gulltide. This majestic Animara, with its elegant wings and sharp instincts, embarks on an ancient and perilous journey, one that has been undertaken for millennia. As winter tightens its grip, the Gulltide faces an urgent task: to reunite with its mate before the brutal cold makes survival almost impossible. We follow this resilient creature as it navigates treacherous coastlines, soars over endless oceans, and confronts predators that lie in wait.

Story
Most mortals would kill for the chance to live a life at court. To wade into the intrigue of noble life, uphold honor and defend your lineage and kingdom. Nero wasn't a mortal, though, and he'd endured millennia striving to fend of rivals in the vast emptiness of the Abyssal Plain. For the Ninth Prince of Eternis, such was his destiny. That all changed when he stepped through the veil and took on a mortal body.

In the land of Malgar, where the essence of balance once weaved through the very fabric of life, shadow casters—masters of the arcane, summoning creatures and weapons born of shadow—long stood as vanguards of harmony. But when fear sparked a purge that intended to extinguish their ancient art, the world teetered on the brink of chaos. But turmoil brought forth reform and rising from the ashes of distrust, three young casting trainees, Kaito, Sumi, and Nigel, emerge as beacons of hope within the reinstated Legion of Shadow Casters.

The Downs, the poor district of the city of Avarest, is home to cutthroats and thieves, pickpockets and prostitutes, all of whom pay tribute to one of two powerful crime bosses. It is also home to Aaron Envelar, a disillusioned sellsword known as the Silent Blade, who cares nothing for the criminal overlords or their schemes, who only wants to survive and make a little coin. But when a group of thugs steal his mother’s necklace, the only link he has to his murdered parents, Aaron decides that sometimes gold isn’t enough - sometimes, blood is the only payment worth taking.

All Liam Avione ever wanted was to be a Deathbringer. Almost twenty years old now, he’s approaching the last six months of the decade-long training program, hopeful for his future as a protector of the Universe. One, slight problem: he’s got a genetic defect that he’s been keeping a secret. But as the training intensifies, so do his symptoms. Which are really hard to hide when they cause him to puke, pass out, and have a seizure in front of the training cadre.

A Whimsical Tale with Unforgettable Characters
This story is an absolute gem! The characters are the heart of it all—quirky, endearing, and so well-developed that you can’t help but root for them. It had just the right balance of humor, mystery, and heart, it’s a joy to listen to from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Narrator on point
WARNING: Do not read near bedtime. Once it gets going, it's hard to find a good stopping point. You won't regret it.
Also, the narrator kills it.

Engaging story that kept me on my toes!
If you’re like me, you’re always worried about picking up a new book from a new narrator and author because you don’t know if you’ll enjoy either.
I will tell you now you will not have that problem with this book or narrator. Fantastic story that kept me listening the whole way through, and wanting more. Incredible narrator, who was a great choice for this book- fantastic crisp voice.
The only problem you will have is waiting for the next one to come out.
I look forward to listening to more works by Evan and Will whether together or separately.

Incredible Story and Narration
I rarely leave reviews for books or narrators on this platform, but this one has easily earned a spot among my all-time favorite fantasy novels. Standing proudly alongside works like Michael G. Manning's Art of the Adept series and Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller Chronicles.
The story is masterfully crafted, with perfect pacing that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Every character is richly developed and adds depth to the narrative. I found myself staying in my vehicle long after reaching my destination just to continue listening. Often, having to drag myself away, to keep myself from being late for work.
As for the narration, it’s some of the best I’ve ever heard. Will’s skillful use of inflections and accents brings the books characters to life, Creating an immersive experience, that sucks you deeper into the world Evan has created .
I thoroughly enjoyed every second spent listening to this book, and I am excited to see what Evan does with the sequel, I’ll be eagerly following both his and Will’s work going forward.
TL;DR:
Story: Fantastic
Narration: Amazing
Book: 10/10, would read again

Wits edge and beyond: A tapestry of clever layers.
“Baker and Thief” is a brilliant diamond-in-the-rough kind of story that had me hooked from the very first chapter. I couldn’t stop listening, completely captivated by its razor-sharp wit and laugh-out-loud moments that caught me off guard over and over again. The dialogue sparkles with cleverness, and the characters—charming, mischievous, and sometimes frustrating —are impossible not to love. It’s a perfect blend of humor and heart, with layers of subtle brilliance that make it as smart as it is hilarious. A must-read (or must-listen) for anyone who loves their adventure with a dash of cunning.” I’m just hoping this author doesn’t pull a Rothfuss and keep us from the continuing books.
