About this listen

First was the realm of eternity. From the darkness came forth light, and the realm of eternity gave birth to the realm of the living. That is how the cycle began. This is the word of Elevation.

Destiny, personal responsibility, what the future holds—common concerns for anyone graduating high school. But usually not because of a cosmic war between timeless beings where you’re the central player.

As the end of school quickly approaches, and Cooper Bailey watches his perfect world slip away, his only concern is savouring every last minute of his high school career. For his best friend, Reid Patterson, graduation is a doorway to the future, where his discipline and focus will finally allow him to meet his true potential. When a mysterious mirror-masked man begs for their help to stop a dangerous heretic, Cooper and Reid find themselves thrust into unknown worlds, wrestling with a destiny as old as time itself. As the truths about their roles in the universe unfold, and enemies disguise themselves as allies, their only hope is to trust each other—and learn fast! Far from home and in mortal peril, Cooper and Reid attempt to hone their newfound abilities and come to grips with their purpose for being.

Inspired by classic and modern science fiction and fantasy, and drawing upon timeless themes of destiny and personal responsibility, The Elements of Time is a series written for anyone who loves an escape into a rich and deep world. Enjoy the first entry into this award winning new science-fantasy series!

An epic sci-fantasy adventure packed to the brim of fun.

A behemoth of a story that whisks you away from high school drama and to an expansive universe full of elemental magic, ancient gods, cute but powerful furball creatures, and MORE!

Narrator also delivered an excellent performance bringing the story and large cast to life.

Also, that ending though…WTF?! Great twist that I honestly did not see coming.

A phenomenal start to what is going to be a top-tier adventure.

Did I really just read a debut?

The Winds of Change is a phenomenal start to what is going to be a top-tier adventure. The careful detail of the plot and worldbuilding was on a level I have rarely seen in the first book of a series. Packed with mystery, intrigue, edge-of-your-seat action, and heartfelt emotional moments, I’m struggling to find what this book didn’t have.

Admittedly, it was a slow start for me. I don’t know if it was the YA vibe of the early portions throwing me off, as that’s not my typical reading material, or if it was just too much at the start with too few answers being offered regarding what was happening, but I did have to push through the early segments for a bit. However, once it changed, it really changed!

The set pieces of gods, master senseis, Padawan-like soldiers, one badass antihero, and two kids from Earth in way over their heads; once it all started coming together, it fit beautifully, and the story flowed like no other. The ending was terrific, one of the best I’ve ever read. The author clearly put a lot of time and detail into the backdrops of his worlds and mythology, and while by the end, I feel fulfilled in what I was given, I’m now craving to learn so much more.

This book is perfect for fans of The Last Airbender, Stargate, Star Wars, or any sci-fi story of a similar ilk. While I think it will thrive with a YA audience, it should also do just fine with adult readers. I cannot recommend this one enough. Go and give it a chance. You won’t be disappointed!
