About this listen
He has a year left to live... unless he gains the power to kill the Gods first.
Each year, the Nightlords choose a new Emperor to rule Yohuachanca. Delicious food graces his palate. The realm’s most beautiful women fill his vast palace. Four priestesses counsel him in all matters. The life of an emperor is good, luxurious, and short...
For at the year’s end, he is sacrificed to the Nightlords under the light of the Scarlet Moon.
Iztac is the piss-poor orphan chosen to be this year’s emperor. A sacrifice bound for the altar.
But the Nightlords have made a mistake this time. For Iztac is a sorcerer, whose soul journeys into the secret underworld to plunder the secret spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne.
He has a year to find it, or perish for good.
Iztac may not be the first emperor, but he will be the last.
Don't miss this action-packed Progression Fantasy saga with a unique spin from Maxime J. Durand, bestselling author of Vainqueur the Dragon, The Perfect Run, and Apocalypse Tamer.

Five hundred years of fighting demons and humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction. As the last bastion of the remaining humans is shattered, Bran Heros, the Wandering King, decides to enact a last ditch effort. He’s going to send his soul back in time to two years before the demon invasion comes to earth. This time when the demons first come he’s going to be waiting. He might not be as strong as he was in his past life, but he has something far more important.

Story
Bernt might have graduated from the Mage Academy, but not everyone has the money or connections to launch a prestigious career as a mage. Bernt finds himself working in the city sewers as an Underkeeper among the other rejects of Halfbridge's magery. He may spend more time unclogging pipes than fighting monsters, but hey, it's a stable job, and that's what counts. With the help of his unregistered soul-devouring demonic familiar, he'll save enough to launch his career as an adventurer—just as soon as he can afford some proper gear.

In just seven days, the world will crumble. The System's Descent will usher in a new era of chaos: wild animals mutating, monstrous creatures emerging, and the cessation of modern technology. Humanity will be left defenseless. Drew Wright knows none of this. At least not until he is rudely ripped from his bed and thrust into a white room to undergo a taser-happy ‘Tutorial’. Turns out, he is one of a thousand randomly selected people to be forewarned of the approaching apocalypse. Now, he faces the delightful task of convincing his wife and mother of the devastation hurtling towards them.

I have been reborn from an advanced techno-magic world into a world where magic is still in its infancy. In this new world I have the body of a young baron and my entire worldly possessions are one village—a village surrounded by monsters and hostile aristocrats on the fringes of a young, rapidly expanding empire. The other thing I have, though, is knowledge beyond what this world has dreamt of, and nothing will stop me from building my own magic empire!

Have you ever come across those stories with heroes who knew just how to get things done? The ones who were masters in five different martial arts, and knew ten ways to skin a bear after killing it with their bare hands? Yeah, that wasn’t me. Hell, I had trouble asking a girl out on a date. But someone in clerical must have made an error. Because I got ripped from an airplane on my way home after my last day in the Coast Guard. I mean, come on, I wasn’t even in one of the hardcore branches of the military or anything!

Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death. Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again. In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

Story
When Mira’s home is destroyed by gods, she makes two requests to the System that sends her to another world: to be sent to an isolated forest where she can avoid the violent path to godhood, and to gain magic that helps her live and thrive in the forest. She is granted both, though in the harshest way possible. The System strands her in a dangerous forest where half the plants are poisonous, the rivers teem with souls, and even the smallest beasts lay waste to experienced adventurers.

Implausible MC; narrator annoying

I’m currently well past book 1 and am reading book 3 as the author posts it chapter by chapter. I can say with confidence that it only gets better. I highly recommend checking it out.
One of their best books yet

This book has a really nice take on ancient mezoamerican gods and lore. I am interested in seeing how it all plays out and how this story develops. 5 stars definately worth the credit.
Better than most of their other books. SPOILERS

I had a really hard time with the Aztec names of characters, deities, places, etc. especially when listening to the audiobook without the text in front of me. This book was basically a love letter to Aztec mythology like the Percy Jackson books are for Greek mythology.
It starts off really slowly, but by the end of the book I do want to know what happens next. Not enough to immediately buy book 2, but I will likely get it later when all of my favorite series are out of new books.
It’s a Maxime J Durand book alright.

Also the choice of narrator has me off slightly, he's not bad. I've heard him from the songs of chaos series, and he plays the coming of age teenager voice well but as I am no longer a teenager I feel sort of disconnected from the character in both cases. But the narrator does do the character justice in his role of emperor and the dark tones underlying every action, as it's easy to forget our MC is only 16.
Although I gave this book overall a 4 it's only because of personal gripes that may not apply to you.
unique concept

First, is the culture of the book being Central Native American inspired. This isn't a problem in itself, but more in how Maxime uses it. In a series like Sanderson's Stormlight Archive, the culture is introduced slowly, and you're not expected to memorize a bunch of names you've never heard before all at once. Meanwhile, I've never heard so many Aztec names all at once. I have never realized how watching so much anime and listening to so many cultivation books has helped me remember Chinese and Japanese names until this book.
Second is I just don't like the protagonist. Someone who lusts after power to the point using his first spell causes him to lose sight of everything else might be fun in some books. Someone with strong morals who lets his heart guide him might be fitting for many books. But a book that requires you to survive by playing delicate political games while being unable to die but watch a whole bunch of friends be tortured instead... I just feel like I know how it's going to go, and I don't want to go there.
Third, this is one of my least liked narrators. nuff said.
Fourth, I don't really like the casual nudity or sexual stuff. I'm not a prude, but rape, blood, violence, polygamy and more are all better done one at a time, I think.
asd
