Life at Magic Academy is upended when a legendary assassin is reborn in his body.

On the cusp of entering the prestigious Lumina Deck-Building Magic Academy, the young mage Alistair harbors a dark secret: within him dwells Ghost. A reborn master assassin hellbent on revenge.

Bound together by fate and magic, Alistair and Ghost embark on a dual journey of vengeance and discovery. As Alistair navigates the arcane halls of the academy, mastering battledeck spells and summoning skills, Ghost seeks to unravel the mysteries of his untimely demise.

Their worlds collide and intertwine, revealing a threat far greater than either could have imagined....

Reborn Assassin is the next action-packed, deck-building LitRPG Series from Harmon Cooper. It's like My Hero Academia and Breaking Bad got together to write a progression fantasy after watching Kill Bill.

About the Series: This Isekai magic academy adventure features a three-tiered LitRPG card system that revolves around summons, wand-based spells, and abilities. Perfect for fans of All the Skills and A Summoner Awakens!

I am excited to read the next book in the series, I think the story over all was fun to read and a great concept. I expected less slip ups by ghost but I guess it is necessary for the story.

A good start.

I really enjoyed this book. The main characters are awesome, and the side characters are just as cool, one of them being fricken hilarious.

So good

Cool story. Love how real and "nowadays" their personalities are. Would love to get some teacher POV of the "this years class" lol I think it would be hilarious teacher breakroom talk. but can't wait for the next one hopefully the series goes the distance.

great magic mechanics

When listening to the book, Jeff Hayes does a perfectly good job. The characters are realistic, sounds like if we’re in Hogwarts but with trading cards. We see the story from two points of views Alistair Blackstar are main character and ghost the assassin. The first chapter is ghost going to a party meant for assassins. Then after that, we do get another POV from Alistair and how he’s an orphan and how the school now opened up its programming for orphans so they can actually have a bigger army. The story does get a little cryptic if I want to say correctly, but don’t let that stop you listen to how these guys put the story together you will be enjoying every minute of it. It’s a page turner. Hope you guys like it

I have to admit, I probably wouldn't have got this book if it didn't have multiple narators, and I am even happier with extra sound effects.

Loved the Dramatization

loved the book, though parts I felt were a little rushed. That being said I love the humor in it, solid start, and references to other books. voice acting was amazing as always! Now get out there and Kil....write,write,write. ;)

Great story

This book is actually really good. I normally don't care for the type of premise where the main character is reincarnated/ sent to a different world /etc, but this was done cleverly and gives the story quite a lot of potential to be expounded on. My only criticism is that there are two more books in the series but they aren't even working on adapting them to audio format. Why bring one to audible but not the rest, weird?

surprisingly good
