Bloodthirsty ghouls. A necromancer. A secret academy that uses Dungeon & Dragons as a training manual. What could possibly go wrong?
After recently discovering he’s a paladin and that the world of the supernatural is real, Steve Firestone, a divorced late-night radio host, has that first-day-at-school feeling. Only this is no Hogwarts.
Being 40, out of shape, and with a mouth that gets him into trouble, Steve must find a way to meet his tutor’s exhausting demands and learn to channel divine power to live up to his ancestry. That’s if he wishes to stay at the academy and with his party of new friends, including Nymantha, the fearsome wizard to whose flame Steve is a moth.
To complicate matters, when a citizen is found torn to pieces, their organs removed, and dozens of bodies stolen from a graveyard, it means only one thing: A necromancer is building an army of ghouls. But to what end? Why is it happening in Steve’s backyard? And why is there a goblin stalking him?
Steve and his party must embark on their first quest: Find and stop the necromancer, because ain’t nobody got time for an army of hungry ghouls treating the population like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Don't miss the next hit series from A.C. Hadfield. A progression fantasy set in a magic academy loaded with LitRPG and GameLit elements and puns that will leave a smile plastered on your face.

-Interesting, fun, novel concept of bringing D&D elements/history directly into a fantasy novel
-The MC is mostly interesting/relateable: e.g.He is 40, I am 43 and also interested in the Occult
Cons:
-4 Star Rating. To the Author: I have enough toxic women in my life (I said he was relateable lol) - I don't need them to come roaring into my down-time, too. Almost deleted the book when she started up and this is why I most likely will not continue the series.
In fact, this book has a few toxic characters, including the Cleric.
-Cover Art: When listening to an Audible I often reference the cover art to help get me more into the book. The cover art for this book is waaaay off: The MC is a 40 yr old, average dude, but the guy on the cover art is like a 22 yr old hot twink.
I don't like giving 4 stars and usually just wouldn't give a rating if I didn't give 5 stars, but I wanted the Author to know my specific issue/feedback with the toxic female so he could readjust for the mass market moving forward if he wants.
