For listeners who love the intrigue and widening scope of epic fantasy like Sanderson's Mistborn and Week's The Black Prism, this is your next must-listen fantasy series.

Michael Kingman has discovered his destiny, but the distance to what he wants, namely a life with Serena, the queen of Hollow, is vast and cruel.

Meanwhile, Dark - fearsome mercenary, sometime mentor, and son of Michael's nemesis - is trying to manipulate him to serve his own hidden agenda.

Realising that he is outclassed by the centuries-long machinations to end the world as he knows it, Michael must gather his allies and push to achieve the impossible. The alternative is unimaginable.

And when have bad odds ever stopped Michael from getting what he wants?

I really enjoy the legacy of the mercenary king and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys new-school fantasy. The magic systems are interesting, the characters are compelling and very well written. My biggest gripe is that the story was envisioned as 5 books and not 3 and it shows. The final book has a breakneck pace and picks up new threads as fast as it drops them. The stakes escalate extremely fast from the previous books and there isn't much breathing room, but the story has you gripped along the ride for the entirety of the book. Sometimes the threads come around and are important and sometimes seemingly massive revelations are all but disregarded for the plot to zoom across the highway it's on, only to be forgotten later. However the book hits the important emotional notes it needed to hit and has a good conclusion that left me feeling complex emotions that I've found hard to put in words. My final thoughts for the story are that I wish we lived in the world where it was allowed to blossom into the 5 book series it should have been. I will be on the lookout for more books by Nick Martell in the future.

A great book hampered by the time it released in.

I loved the story from the begining but the last book is a blast. Would love to have Marell as a DM someday. Absolutely inmersive world building. The pace of the last book is very fast so it might be better to read it in paper. The perfomance is sub optimal though. The protagonist's voice sounds kind of dumb.

great story
