About this listen
The idyllic kingdom of Parisia sat nuzzled securely into massive basin in the Great Emerald Mountains. The kingdom was protected by the Darkstone, which blessed the kingdom with generations of peace and prosperity. When the elder dragon Darka Mors steals the Darkstone, the entire realm is shaken. Desperate, the King calls on a group of Seekers led by the Disgraced Knight Vale Lox.
To save the realm and everyone they have ever known from the rising shadows of darkness, the team of misfits must survive hostile lands, enemy armies, unspeakable monsters, and each other. With each member motivated by different goals, can they learn to trust each other and work together? Or will their differences bring about their downfall, and the ruin of all?

He becomes friends with the king’s second son, Randal, who was placed in the guard by the king to teach him discipline. As he ages, he develops mage abilities but keeps them secret.

One hundred years ago, the Eternals, 13 men and women closer to gods than mortals, stood against the greatest threat the world had ever faced. They died. All save for one who managed to flee with the enemy leader’s weapon, a cursed blade of incredible power. This is a battle he fights alone, for after they defeated the Eternals, the enemy used their magic to pose as their conquered opponents, taking over rule of the world in their stead. For the last 100 years, the people have believed that the legendary Eternals triumphed, that they are safe. Only the wanderer knows the truth .

Though I'm part of the most powerful family in Elantio, I failed to produce mana on my Manifestation day. Thus, I was relegated to the most shameful place for someone of my status: the Archives. What may have seemed like a sentence truly was a blessing in disguise. I may be a mule—one with the blood of a sorcerer yet unable to channel any magic—but what I lack in raw power I make up for with my tenacity. It's in those Archives that I searched and searched for a way to bypass my curse. Now, after years of study and browsing through hundreds of books, I may have found a solution.

But to Zane’s surprise, he finds himself enjoying this brutal new world. While others cower and hide, he goes on the hunt. He unlocks a unique Berserker skill—the more damage he takes, the stronger he gets.

When I was summoned to the family estate, I had no idea that my life was about to take a drastic turn. One moment I was good old Arthur, a young man with no real aim in life, the next I was in possession of my first four magical cards, on my way to become a Convoker! But if my grandfather had entrusted this huge responsibility to me, I had to prove worthy. I had to take on the life of an Adventurer and complete our lineage quest—a perilous search and rescue mission in the most treacherous parts of our lands.

These are the Sharded Few, warriors imbued with the divine energies that once coursed through the Heart, and driven to absorb enough fragments to claim godhood.

Wonderful Adventure
This was a 5 out of 5 star read for me! As soon as you start you’re whisked away on an adventure. I’m currently having withdrawals from finishing this book. The way the characters are written they are easy to love and to hate (IYKYK 😒) . It’s hard to pick one character that I loved the most because they were all such an integral part of the journey. Saying good bye at the end was hard 🥺. This book will give you all the feels. I cried, I laughed, I gasped, I had many mini heart attacks. You will be living on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The amount of creativity that went into this book was phenomenal. Hands down Tyler created an epic journey for his readers.
Thank you to the Narrator for bringing these characters to life. His voice was so soothing and creating a different voice for so many different people was amazing! Oh and don’t get me started on RIVIKS songs! That was super special 👏🏽👏🏽
I hope you choose this book for your next fantasy adventure.

Great and wonderfully balanced fantasy
A very well paced book with characters that were fun to get to know and an engaging story. The backstories felt a bit forced at times but other than that the book was incredible. The branches of the story were well placed and felt important and developmental to the plot. The narrator was fantastic, every character had a personality he never shied away from playing his part to make the listen more interesting and the characters more lively.

loved this audiobook
Sam Legg is a wonderful narrator who manages to give clear differences in the personalities and manners of speech in each character. I have found some audiobooks monotone or flat in the past but this one was certainly not that case,I enjoyed it and look forward to more audiobooks from Legg.

The story was very captivating. It grabbed me from the first chapter and held me enthralled through the end. I loved the group dynamic. Loved some characters, hated one character, and laughed out loud many times.

Amazing narrator!
2nd read (audiobook): the narrator did an amazing job reading this story! I enjoyed this book even more the second time through.
1st read (e-book): I really enjoyed this book. It was action packed with lots of funny banter. Of course, it had dragons but also elven, witches and a royal family. The quest was unique and a lot of different characters introduced along the way. Overall I thought it was good - some missing pieces but with the budding romance between two characters I feel those parts will be explained in a second book!

Thrilling
Wow what an epic journey! People with different skill sets forced to be together by decree of the king. some brought on along the way. Working to save a nation, fighting all manner of creatures, plus also being hunted! This High Stakes Fantasy is captivating, Vale & Calean are my favorite characters. Im looking forward to the second book.
I highly recommend to those who love fantasy, high stakes, adventures, dragons, and magic!
If this was turned into a movie it might be rated R just for gore lol. Descriptive wise there is not a ton of gore but when you think back about just how much killing there is, It’s definitely up there. Great character development! Wonderful moving storyline & lots of action.
I was able to read the book before the audible version came out and so being able to hear all the characters come to life was just amazing and wonderful and I think it works out really really well. The Narrator does a great job at burying voices for everybody and making it feel like the characters are there with you.

An EPIC fantasy—I’m taking NO criticism! 😤
This was such an incredible story. It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book that has evoked so many feelings in me. I laughed, I almost cried, I was shocked, I felt betrayed…there were so many emotions that I went through when listening to this.
The journey in this book was amazing. All the characters were so well written and the story took me on an adventure that had me gripping the edge of my seat the whole time. Edwards does an awesome job at painting vivid pictures throughout the whole book that you can’t help but feel like you are right there with the whole crew. It was fast paced and FAR from predictable. I came up with theories upon theories only to get them smashed to pieces within the next few pages.
And the characters! They were all SO courageous and funny—the banter between them was hilarious and I couldn’t help but fall in love with each one of them. Of course there were the characters that served as villains, but even those were fun to hate. Grom and Rivik have my heart forever 🥹
Don’t even get me STARTED on the performance of Sam Legg, the audiobook narrator. It felt like he was made to tell this story and the energy that he brought into this made the book that much more entertaining and special.
If you’re into fantastical creatures along with epic journeys and the found family trope, I highly recommend you give this book a try. You will not regret it. You might find yourself reading one of your favorite books of all time. 10 outta 10 would reread again.

such a great fantasy
This was action packed and full of adventures and battle. I really liked the ragtag band of travelers, the epic quest, the dragons, and the way that they each had their own purpose that lead them to the same place. The way the author interwove their paths throughout the story without giving too much away was really well done. There were some twists and betrayals that I just did not see coming! A great new book to check out!

High Fantasy. Entrancing Narration.
Truly. It was a wonderful change of pace from the romances I've been reading. Fantasy is one of my favorite genres and this hit the nail on the head. It was fantastic. Easy to follow story line. Great world building. Great characters. I laughed at the character's wit and banter.
The narrator was excellent. The voice inflections on the characters was wonderful and he really captured the immersiveness of the story.
I'd gladly listen to him narrate future novels by this author.

This story is riveting!!
It felt like a mix between a D&D campaign, The Witcher, and LOTR! If you're a fan of that type of fantasy, you will enjoy this story!
Magic, Dragons, Fighters, Bards, Wizards, Witches, Elves, Betrayal, Friendship, Emotion. You name it, this story has it.
Sam does a fantastic job narrating! I was hooked from the beginning!
Tyler is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors & I highly recommend checking out his work!
