About this listen
A weapon is forged from flesh and magic.
Tattooed with magical runes to enhance his skills and suppress his emotions, Lad is raised from birth to be the most lethal assassin the world has ever known. He is the pinnacle of his master’s magical and martial arts, a true weapon of flesh, all according to plan. Until the plan goes awry....
The Master is gone, and the weapon is free. And in a dangerous world, a weapon does what a weapon is made to do. Or does he?
Alone for the first time, Lad’s future is now in his own hands. He has a destiny, but knows not what it is. Undeterred, he heads out into the world, and the weapon begins to become a person....
But a person is not what the Grandfather of Assassins has invested a fortune and nearly two decades to achieve. When his weapon does not arrive as promised, the Grandfather sets loose his hunters.
The only problem? No one thought a weapon of flesh would fall in love.
Now only death will release Lad from his servitude and save the woman he loves—the Grandfather’s death…or his own.

Story
Leones Ansteri was only sixteen when they came to kill him for the heresies his father had committed against the Archons—the mighty demigods who keep the peace in the Civilized Lands and prevent the evil Goetia from enslaving all of humanity. But even as the flames of the Magisters burned everything Leones knew to the ground, they awakened in him a power he didn’t know he possessed: the ability to manipulate time. But as Leones grows more confident in his temporal abilities, he realizes all is not well in Odena.

Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned to survive.

Those in power do not believe in the possibility of triumph against the will of the gods, and instead squander their time and effort in indulging their needs and desires as the world quickly rots away around them. Mankind’s only hope rests on the shoulders of a man they hate the most. A man who has taken every possible measure, both accepted and forbidden, to attain power. Sungchul Kim, the man who reached the pinnacle of strength, now stands alone against the Calamities. Not because he is a hero, but because of a promise.

Villagers far and wide welcome her with both awe and disdain - grateful to her for ridding their towns of the undead menace, but finding themselves made poorer for their salvation. Magiere knows she's dealing with simple folk, who only wish to have their superstitions silenced, and sees nothing wrong with exploiting them for profit.

I was the chosen tool, her sharpened blade that would cut the deepest into the heart of the kingdom of Baist. But like all deadly weapons, my wedding is two-edged sword that could cost me my soul. For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist.

For 600 years, the kingdom of Wahrheit was ruled by an unbroken line. It rose on a wave of technology and magic and stood alone—a bastion of stability built on pillars of economic and military might. The nation and her people thrived due to the strength of soldiers and the protection of dragons. But the line has ended—the king is dead. Noble houses vie to carve out their own domains. Foreign armies march across Wahrheit’s soil for the first time in memory. Without leadership, the king’s army watches helplessly.

Great Story
this is a great story and novel. Chris Jackson is one of my favorite authors. This is one of his earlier pieces and I am excited to hear the rest on audible and seeing how his skills have changed from this work to his more recent amazing works in the Five Fold series and his post apocalyptic book The Last.
This book is a great read and listen too. the narrator does a fantastic job.

INCREDIBLE!!
I couldn’t stop listening; the story was so compelling. The action scenes are so well described and the journey of the protagonist…what an arc! All the characters are so unique and well developed. AND the NARRATOR!! Ryan H. Reid’s voices are INSANE. I got lost in the story because his acting and distinct character voices are so good. Chris A. Jackson is a wonderful storyteller and I cannot WAIT for the next in the series to get on Audible. SERIOUSLY! You don’t want to miss this one.

Credit due
I’ll give author credit for the attempt. The only reason I kept listening because this is the closest to KDT I’ll probably find but it was extremely disappointing that the author had lad lose every single fight until the end of the book. He spends 16 years training and loses the first real fight. This is extremely frustrating. I would have rather him kill this new master fast and without mercy or fear but no you take the whole book just to delay the inevitable

Great First Half, Cringe Second Half
The beginning of this book started out so great. The concept was interesting and I was excited to see where it was going. But then, around the second half, it suddenly delves into predictable cliché after cliché It's like the author didn't like what he was doing and started writing a whole new book using the same character.
