In the world of Eribeth, magic is learned by wizards, or a few lucky sorcerers are born with the gift naturally. Those were the only paths to magic, until the creation of the Akynd. These unique man-made hybrids allow the natural talent and mastery of a sorcerer, with all the versatility and adaptability of a wizard.

Keldon was the first Akynd. Being transformed against his will by a disapproving father soured him against the selfishness and evil in the world. With his newfound power, he seeks to eliminate such darkness. To do so, he gathers three allies, granting them access to his unique abilities, turning them into Akynd.

But that kind of power can lead one down some dark paths, even with the best of intentions. Each of the four keeps a close eye on the others, ensuring that they remain on a path of righteousness and avoid the corruptible influence of their power.

If Keldon is successful, the world will know a peace that is more than just a lack of war, Eribeth could become a paradise. If not, the vile selfishness will spread through all the realm, until evil is all that remains.

This narrator is amazing! I can't believe this was his first book. I cant wait to hear him narrate book two.

Top notch narration

I listen to many books here on audible. This story is in the top tier. The character development was outstanding, and the storyline was interesting to follow.

It is a nice introduction to a new character in a new world. I look forward to more books from this writer.

Disclosure: The author is my son and this book was so much more than I had expected. I have listened to the entire wheel of time series and every book involving Dritz. I am not a writer, but I do enjoy good books. This performance is among the best I have heard.

I look forward.to seeing reviews from others.

Amazing
