Publisher's summary

Cam Folde has overcome his weaknesses, but his future remains uncertain.

During his first year at the Ephemeral Academy, Cam grew far in his Ephemeral Mastery, becoming a person of significance. The eyes of the mighty are now upon him, and they promise him wealth and even marriage into their houses should he offer them loyalty.

Yet, Cam has other concerns. He no longer trusts his sponsor, Rainen Winder—the Wilde Sage—whose usage of Cam and his friends has seen them almost die on too many occasions. A dilemma exists, however, because breaking with the Wilde Sage will also result in Cam's expulsion from the academy.

Needing wisdom, Cam seeks advice from several of his instructors—the new master of the sword, Cinder Shade, and his wife—but before he can enact their counsel, a fresh challenge becomes apparent.

A mythical Realm—deadly beyond measure—proves all too real…and an unprepared Light Squad must survive it.

Good story

I really enjoyed the story, I am just sad now that I must wait for book three. I love the character development and was totally vested in the story. I love the reader and look forward to listening to him once again.

Enough with the cliffhangers.

Well, at least Cam and Charity got it together. I wonder what the Sage Dukes are going to do now that everything is going to stop going there way.

Characters are great

The characters were hard to get into. By the middle of the first book though it really comes together. I can’t wait for more. This narrator really sets the tone for the personalities in the story. I will get books just because he’s telling the stories.

Light-hearted yet Engaging

Love the storyline. It can be scary at times. It can deliver a hint of romanticism, classic romanticism. It is a progressive science fiction narrative that propels the reader into an immersive world of acceptance and social challenges as well as Cam’s leadership is grown naturally and the characters are relatable.

Travis Baldree really brings the story to life

Little slower paced than the first but makes up for it at the end. Great book

Unexpected twist!

This 2nd book provided an unexpected way to add to the universe building/interaction. It does limit the interaction of returning characters thou, so it got a bit repetitive. Good story telling and great performance. I think it will be good set-up for book 3 though. I see now with some searching that this already part of the An Anchored World’s universe so need to see what else there is!

Fun story focusing on character growth

While there are more story beats in the first book, this second one really focused on the characters and their bonds. Their wholesome friendships shine here.
