About this listen
"I really, really like the premise of both a merchant and a swordsman and I look forward to where the author takes this. I like the main character so far and I'm optimistic about where this story is going. I think it'll have real depth."
"This is a great read. Lysander is a well drawn out character and there’s a lot of fun to be had in the way in which they are interacting with the world."
The world of Arden is vast, filled with ancient magics, opportunity, and brewing political disasters, but above all else it is permeated by an ever-existing and mysterious System that grants power to those who follow its rules. Lysander, born the third son of a second-string and disgraced noble family, must reach beyond his station in life, and acquire higher attribute scores, proficiencies, and skill abilities, if he ever hopes to live up to his own ambitions.
The young swordsman, however, has both a hidden strength and limitation that doesn't plague the others of Arden. His born trait, the term for the randomized power that everyone acquires at birth, is to convert all of the mana in his body into physical strength before it ever enters his magical pathways. The path of the mage is forever barred to our young warrior; however, he will not allow this to deter him from his goals.
Seeking to find a way to earn a writ of trade, an endorsement by the Archport Merchants' Guild that grants certain financial and mercantile privileges, Lysander must journey with his sorceress sister, Anabelle, and train with the members of the Swords Guild, a local mercenary organization only vaguely supported by the nobility.
However, things are never as they seem, and misfortune and witchcraft are brewing around the coastline of the Sea of Drakes and greater High Coasts region. Will Lysander be able to rise above the brutal nature of the world he was born into, to find all of the riches and opportunities the fifth age of man has to offer?

Every act of kindness has a price—and unimaginable power. In the neon-choked depths of Mega-City-Theta, eighteen-year-old street courier Jonah “Jet” Walker lives for one goal: keep his brilliant little sister Lexi alive another day. But when Jet stops a mugging and awakens a snark-powered, number-crunching AI called the System, life stops being a grind and turns into a game he never asked to play. Now invisible pop-ups flash across his vision, doling out XP, stat boosts, and micro-credits every time he helps someone in need. The catch? The System doesn’t care about compassion—only...

Alchemy, they never knew what it was truly capable of. What wonders and horror one could conjure up with enough of a rotten heart. Humans have taken enough from me. They’ve taken enough from everyone. I will show them what I “Bring”. In the frigid depths of the glacier Korigara, a small blue Alerez with no name is torn from his home and sold into slavery in the city of Yalor—a metropolis operated entirely by the enslaved and charged with conjuring in the Golden Dawn, the legendary age of prosperity.

Wes Rhodes wasn’t prepared to wake up in a medieval-style equipment room. He wasn’t expecting to fight his way through a deadly dungeon today, either. But when he makes it through before the timer runs out, his entire perspective shifts. Now, he’s the guy with a whole other dimension waiting inside the magic crystal in his pocket, and nothing will ever be the same. All he’s gotta do is make it out alive and get back to Earth each and every time. And the payoff is worth it. There’s monsters to slay, loot to gain, and even some sexy women to save from certain doom.
