About this listen

Corin Cadence has been summoned to meet with the Emerald Council, a political summit including the most powerful of all attuned and their closest political allies.

His summons came with a dire warning—that war was coming to the nation of Valia. While Valia is no stranger to warfare, the circumstances of this invasion are dire.

Valia's visage, Tenjin, remains missing. Many of the nation's leaders were slain during Mizuchi's attack, and others killed or injured through Saffron's machinations. With a critical power vacuum in Valia's leadership, few can be trusted.

Surrounded by old enemies, tenuous allies, and strangers with their own agendas, Corin will need to leverage every skill he's learned to help salvage his nation's fate.

Includes a sneak peek—in both PDF and audio—of Edge of the Woods, book one of The Lost Edge series set within the Arcane Ascension universe and available now in ebook, print, and audio!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

It was a great blend of the particular detail and big action. The clever solutions and fun wins the team gets carries on here.

Rowe/Podell remain the best

So the overall story is good. The series started off strong and the new story arc is fun. What I can't understand is the reasoning behind continuing to keep the group emotionally and socially fragile. Like they have not grown at all; still whiney, still can't handle low pressure situations, and yet still this group of teens for whatever reason have a voice in global governmental and religious affairs. Corin can't talk to his 6 non sexual romantic love interests of various entities, his teachers, or his friends, freezes in a fight still but then when some stuff needs to happen he's briefly batman. I'm getting whiplash.

All in all though decent story, but I do hope the characters find some strength at some point.

Good book gets a lot of hate for not being very progressive but it'd needed to be here if we never found out about the emerald dorks we would be confused about what's happend and people for be pissed about that (people are saying that this book needs skipped wtf) this man is pumping out real work!!!

Love the fact that people think this good work needs skipped!

Big fan of the in-depth magic system in this series. Getting really invested in the story can’t wait for the next book.

Detailed Magic system

I still believe less of the constant repeating of mathematical calculations on power levels, less tslking about how far Caiden or others are above or below a level. it's very tedious. Why is it after everything they've been through they still act like dumb teenagers on day 1? they've all grown but seem incapable of stopping to think for 30 seconds vs running off half cocked with a half thought out plan.

some parts of this book could have been much better, the introduction of the Show Off didn't glow right. it just seemed tossed in for no reason. How about what happened with the Hyrophant? seemed rushed with lots of left out details. Mara and Patrick foung unknown special training? for what? btw I hate hate hate Patrick. his foolish faith and naivety annoy me to no end. He's the dumbest of the group and refuses to just shut up and listen ever.

Last but not least, We've spent all this time with the MC and his group but I think you need at the very least some side chapters explaining what is going on in the Towers. what exactly are the visages? Why are they fighting exactly? why is it they refuse to let anybody speak to the so called Goddess? better yet whete is she? they work for her. why is she letting this occur? we need some details on these Visages that aren't just rumor

slow build

Well told story with awesome hell yeah moments. If you haven’t yet, read the first three books starting with Six Sacred Swords for key character intros.

Sooooo good!!!

I feel like I only had this for a couple days at most and the storyline was so compelling that I just had to keep listening to it. never a dull moment with this story and Nick Pohdel

you can tell a book is good when it goes too fast
