About this listen
On his sixteenth birthday, Talen is given a magical birthright that forever changes his life.
When his family is slaughtered by a powerful sorcerer only known as the Golden Fool, Talen is sold into slavery and forced into the fighting pits.
There he finds violence and killing, but makes two friends who make the misery better. He must use his birthright—the ability to glimpse possible futures—to survive.
All he wants is vengeance. Find those responsible for killing his parents, and get to the Golden Fool. First, he must escape the pits, using his wits and his magical gift.
Even that might not be enough.
The Golden Fool trilogy begins with The Broken Heir.

Story
It will take an army to defeat a sorcerer. Even that might not be enough. As Talen and his brother raise defenses to defeat the sorcerer, those once closest to him struggle the most. While Talen thinks only of the strategy needed to overpower an impossible and deadly magic, Gwin and Jamie struggle with what it will take to defeat their father—and question if it’s even possible If they fail, he will unleash a power the world has not seen in generations, but stopping him means finding more than the power needed; they must find their heart. Heart of Magic completes The Golden Fool trilogy.

Ugg, they used virtual voice
It is really too bad that a virtual voice was used rather than a voice actor. I understand the desire to save money, but it is at the cost of poorer reviews and less purchases. I quite liked the book, but it is impossible for the virtual voice to understand the story, to emphasize some parts more than others, nor can it speak using different voices. What a waste. I would have given this book a 5 star rating if it had a better narrator.

AI voice is ok, but not a patch on real voice actors
Good start to a series, I like it so far, hopefully they can stick the landing.

AI narration ruined what could have been a good book
I enjoyed the story, but the zero emotion zero acting voice made me wonder why they paid this man to narrate... only to hear at the end that it was Ai narration. If subsequent books are also narrated like this I will not be listening or purchasing any of them.
