About this listen
Before our kingdom can rise, we’ll need an army.
That’s the thought that keeps me up at night. My name is Robert Grailmont, and I am the Dark Lord of Duskhaven. Two hundred years ago, our nation was destroyed by the goddess of light and the Luminark Empire.
We have made great advances since my coronation. With my ascendant queens by my side, we’ve risen from a group of starving refugees to a true nation.
But to defeat the empire and to liberate our people still held as slaves, we need power. We need an army of ascendant champions.
The key to that power is an ancient artifact, revealed to me by the goddess of night in a vision of the past. We must set out for Nightbound, the old capital of Duskhaven. Ghouls, monsters, and Luminark inquisitors stand in our way, but we shall overcome them and bring Duskhaven to glory once again.

Story
My name is Mal, and ever since I was a boy I've been treated as a malcontent because of my ability to see magic. For everyone else, magic is proof of the Goddess's love. For me, it is just a colorful spread of enchantments, cantrips, blessings, and hexes. And any spell I can see, I can break. I had always expected to grow up to be a ditch-digger. Instead, I was dubbed a hero. Heroes are sent out in the wasteland to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord.

After being betrayed by the very kingdom he saved, Jacob Stone forsook his title of Hero. Now he lives the simple life of a barkeep. Yet even that life is irrevocably erased when a young woman named Enyo appears before him. She claims to be the daughter of the former Dark Lord and has come seeking his aid. He’d normally never consider lending her a hand, but when she tells him that she knows of a way for him to return home, he’s left with little recourse.

Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

Taken from my old life with little memory of what brought me here, I wake up in a high tech capsule. A wrinkly old elf tells me that my soul is incomplete and has been fused with that of a Solar Dragon to give me a second chance at life. Where? When? An urban metropolis filled with fantasy races, erected atop the back of a giant asteroid. Meteoropolis. And millions of years in the future, to boot. But that's not all. I've got super powers, too. To add to the excitement, I end up hosted by an anxious unicorn elf named Pinky Peach who is basically a professional gamer girl.

The new magi are shipped to the academy to learn the arts of magic. The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want. Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream.

Sebastian Frost’s most recent memory was waking up in a field naked, in a body that wasn’t his own, in a world that definitely wasn’t his own, and three stunning pointy-eared women staring right at him. He also remembered hair as white as starlight, eyes like amethysts, and the name Shalia. Fortunately, it was the right name to know. Shalia was the elves’ goddess, and that made him her herald.

Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

I was about to be promoted to Deputy Manager, when a strange voice—coming from a glowing gem I found in the stationery drawer—told me I was meant for more. I was thinking the same thing. Before my boss' eyes, I was transported to a fantasy world of mana and monsters. When I felled the foul beasts, the gem embedded in my hand absorbed their essence—a light that made me more adept with weapons, and able to wield increasingly better ones. It even grew my body. It turned me into the man I was supposed to be.

Great sequel
Our Machiavellian MC gets more Machiavellian but still listens to his humane side. More character development and slowly revives his kingdom bit by bit while undermining his enemies from the shadows. I can't wait for more.

Yeah, it's worth your time and money
I always keep my head on a swivel for anything new and entertaining. I remember the first book fondly and I'm glad to say the second is the improvement that I was hoping for. To be clear, I think that any sequel should be everything that made the first one great and then some. The narrator was new to me from the first go around. She did just as good a job this time too. I'm interested in what else this author has to offer, and I look forward to future performances by the lady narrator. Lastly, I'm just going to say thank you to everybody who had a hand in bringing this book to us the audible listeners.

Another good story from M. E. Thorne
Dark Lord's Commands continues to be a great series from Mr. Thorne. Thorne's other series I Don't Want To Be The Hero is one of my favourite series and this one also delivers. I really enjoy the characters and the world and book 2 only helps to expand the world and further develop the characters. Renée Nolen continues to do a great job narrating this series breathing new life into the story. I enjoyed book 2 and can't wait for book 3.

An interesting and intriguing story that keeps you entertained. Not a huge fan of the narrator (perhaps spoiled by dual narration) but it was a good addition nonetheless.

Renee is quickly becoming my favorite narrator.
