About this listen

The climb through the ranks often ends with a knife in the back.

Slum-dwelling orphan Garrett Walker scrounges for scraps in the wildlands beyond the walls that guard society, salvaging valuables from the ruins of fallen civilization.

Offered the opportunity to compete in the Warden Academy entrance trials, Garrett seizes the chance for a better life. However, the academy holds dangers a street rat is ill-equipped to handle and he’ll have to grow stronger while relying on his wits to survive.

Rivalries turn heated as Garrett’s hard work challenges classmates who would rather rely on family connections and wealth to succeed. As society's most affluent see the threat in Garrett's rise, he will discover that not all enemies live outside the city walls.

Good thing Garrett's no stranger to adversity.

Great story and setting. The main character is motivated, has a spine, and is logical. I would love to read more from this series and look forward to where the story goes.

Great! Looking forward to more.

Wow, I absolutely loved this book. It's so well-written, even the descriptions of places are *chef's kiss*, and I loved the underdog main character. It's refreshing to have an MC that thinks things through, and puts thought and time into improving himself and excelling. Plenty of action to keep your interest, while still bringing that academy feel. I'm really looking forward to book 2!
The narration from Steve Campbell is amazing as always, I always look forward to releases with his narration. He's so versatile and you can tell he puts the work in to make a book the best it can be.

Fantastic New Series!

I really enjoyed this story, read back towards the beginning of the year then saw the audio was released and with Steve Campbell's narration it was like an all new story, I thought progression was very logical, and I love soloist mc's so this was right up my alley. very much looking forward to the next book!

a very good and logical story

I love the mixture of fantasy races, post apocalypse, academy, and rags to riches concepts so it checks all my boxes. I can't wait for the next book!

Fantastic

Bog standard from rags to privilege start, but that's the only thing standard about this Academy story.

The characters aren't 2 dimensional pieces to advance the story, the main supporting cast actually feels like actual people with their own agendas, want and needs, which is a delight

The world is filled with lore and we actually get told about it (one of my favourite aspects of academic stories is the ability to lore dump and make it feel natural).
I actually want to know more about the world and what is happening outside of what is relevant to the MC.

Steve is a great addition to the story, his ability to embody the characters and project their thoughts and emotions through his narrative performance is a joy to experience (especially when he manages to say Sheathed Short Sword correctly 😝)

Excellent LitRPG post-apocalyptic story of a street rat weak MC getting a chance to attend an elite academy. Great characters and excellent growth for the MC showing the drive and smarts from his street rat background. I can't wait for the sequel.

Great LitRPG academy story
