About this listen
Craving a complex, daring high fantasy? The Age of Magic series is reminiscent of the emotional roller coaster and grit of Game of Thrones with the wonder and danger of the Upside-Down from Stranger Things!
Amidst the darkest days of antiquity, mankind discovers a new kind of hero.
For thousands of years, mankind warred without magic. Peculiar abilities were buried in history along with the storied paladins and the mysterious dark elves who rarely ventured into human towns.
That all changes at the end of the Tranquility Era, when a young man named Ashton accidentally raises his murdered best friend Clayton from the grave. Because of his mistake, Ashton becomes the focus of manhunts, armies, and the King’s judgement, but Ashton is not the biggest problem in the Kingdom of Surdel.
The golden age of man is coming to a close and enemies surround the civilized world. Lulled into a false sense of security by isolation and pervasive peace, human lords hatch petty schemes to weaken their rivals and gain favor with the throne. Meanwhile, an ancient darkness stirs beneath the Great Northern Mountains and the orcish hordes grow restless just beyond the Southern Peaks. Out of the chaos at the end of the Tranquility Era, a new breed of hero arrives to forge an age of sorcery and mayhem. And into this chaos comes the Necromancer!

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

After fulfilling the duty all Arch Necromancers are tasked with, the last thing Sylver Sezari expected was to be reborn. He was usually the one reanimating dead things, after all. How ironic. But reborn he was. And after crawling his way back into the land of the living, he finds himself in a strange land, a strange time, and with a strange floating screen in front of his new face. Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Leo wanted to make something out of himself—and build dams. However, the world doesn't want dams. And it mostly doesn't want civil engineers. It doesn't want men who do any sort of building or fighting or grand design, it seems. So, when Leo finds his current girlfriend and boss being threatened by a brutal loan shark and all three of them get dragged through a portal to another world, it doesn't take long for him to decide this is the place for him. Plus, everyone has magic, and who wouldn't want that?

Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

Excellent! Lord of the Rings meets Game of Thrones
Pleasantly surprised. It contains all the gore, violence, oddities and suspense you'd want to see in an adult novel. Well thought descriptions for the imagination with the epic character writing of GOT. I'm so glad that the rest of the series is here on audibles.

So very good, looking forward to more!
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This was a fantastic epic fantasy and well worth a credit. The narration is very well done and fits the tone of the story quite well. I especially loved that they made a necromancer the good guy. So often this archetype of character is used as the villain, or at least as a minion of the bad guys.

took a bit to get into the story
I love studying medieval times and I love listening to books and movies fiction or non-fiction. So when I saw what period of time this book was and I figured it'd be something I would like. I don't know what it was but it took me a while to get interested in the book and I didn't get interested untill towards the end. But overall very good book and I will probably be read it and give a second chance just to see where it goes since the ending did capture my interest.

Dark magic with a good heart
"I was given this free review copy audio-book at my request and have voluntarily left this review."
Now that we got that out of the way, I can tell you I was interested in the idea of necromancy from the point of the protagonist instead of the typical bad guy for a change, and I was not let down. Without giving away too much I can see how some people may not like this story. When the main character Ashton accidentally discovers he can raise the dead he does not go off half-cocked destroying everything in his path when someone close to him is murdered. It may be your first thought but this story was very well thought out having Ashton and his motives being very methodical. Author Rex Jameson penned a wonderful world with some detailed backstory, laying wonderful groundwork for the rest of the series. Narrator Adam Gold also did a wonderful job keeping the story and dialogue moving. Although he didn't have a broad range of voices for the characters it was enough to hear the differences between the characters. The two combined make for a wonder experience and I cannot wait to listen to the rest of the series.

good fantasy
I have to say I love the necromancers fantasy stories a lot it's not the first story I read about a necromancer and what I like about this specific character in fantasy is that every author bring something else sometimes even a different idea about what a necromancer is and yes the story was good and very well written and very well described you could actually make a movie of this book I did had a little little little little problem with the story but it was so minor I will not refer to it on my review at all and the story was fantastic overall and very interesting and actually it's makes me really desire to second book on the series I would love to listen to the second book and this one was absolutely incredible

Good enough
Good enough.
The performance isn't great, but it's good. The story isn't great, but it's good
I suspect this is very much intended to begin small to set up something larger.
for anybody familiar with elements of dnd, you'll recognize key elements towards the end of the book.

Great start to a really interesting new series
I really like how this story starts off with a micro view of the main character, his friends, his family, his world, and how it all very quickly implodes on itself. From there the action quickly ratchets up, not in terms of fighting, but in just escalation of every situation that can go wrong going wrong. It's not until the very last couple of chapters that we get introduced to the other two, what I can only imagine will be, main characters and the true scope of just what is at stake in terms of the demons, millenia long wars, the end of the elves, humans, and possibly the world - and all while constantly shoving all the petty squabbles of the petty nobles constantly being petty and making everything worse with their pettiness. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating that last part, but you definitely grow to dislike some of these nobles. All in all this is a great start to what really feels like what will be a spiraling epic. The narrator did a pretty great job. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book. I would recommend this book if you like a necromancer MC trying to be good people while still being a necromancer and spiraling epics with rich lore and complex characters.
