About this listen
Can this legendary hero keep his humble tavern safe from criminals, corrupt officials, and those who might expose his secret?
Archibold Stormblood, Visseria’s greatest hero, is finally taking a break. After two centuries spent battling dark lords and saving the world, he figures he’s earned a little peace—or so he hopes. Leaving his legendary past behind, Archibold now lives as an unassuming mortal nineteen-year-old, running the Tipsy Pelican Tavern, where he brews tasty spell-chilled ales and enjoys stories and laughs with his quirky patrons.
Trouble is the last thing he needs in his life—especially any trouble in the form of the White Church, corrupt officials, crime syndicates, or whatever his iron-willed barmaids manage to stir up.
With his immortal powers sealed and his true identity a closely guarded secret, can Archibold hold onto his hard-won peace, or will he be forced to don the mantle of hero once more?
Join the thousands of readers who are raving about the Tipsy Pelican Tavern series, an unputdownable fantasy adventure spiced with unique magic, tense action, laugh-out-loud humor, and a foaming mug of wit and heart.

Story
Arden was left in the village by a dying mage, who never returned. With no way out of the village on his own, he had always held onto the hope that one day his magic would awaken and give him access to his spheres. But he’s about to turn eighteen and it’s never come. Instead, he’s settled into his lot as a sarcastic and quick-witted innkeeper. That all changes one night when his old flame, who escaped the village to become a mage’s anchor, returns. Ard’s life is about to go through some dramatic changes, and he’s not ready for them.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Good Cellaru! Its finally on Audible.
I love Tipsy Pelican Tavern and was eagerly awaiting book 5 when I spotted that book 1 had come out in audio format, with a fancy new cover. August seeds there story with subtle world building and characters that are both funny and endearing. the story's mysteries keep me coming back eager for more. The comedy might come off a bit cartoonish but if you like a good loonie toons gag on occasion I can not recomend this book enough.

A Great Start to a Wonderful Series!
The Tipsy Pelican Tavern book series is something I stumbled across randomly when looking for something new to read on my Kindle a few years ago. After reading a few chapters, I fell in love with the characters and the interesting setting. I found it interesting to see a character who was on cusp of being a god in power, decide to "take a vacation" as a Tavern keeper. Which seems like a simple idea, but August does a great job keeping the story interesting throughout the book.
The Narrators Joshua and Laurie do a great job at voicing the large cast of characters. I have to give Laurie props on nailing exactly what I thought Charm sounded like in my head when I read the book.
For people on the fence on this title, I hope you give it a shot. I read / listen to a lot of books and the only thing that is kind of similar to this book is Bruce Sentar's 'Ard's Oath' series (minus the spicy content). Hopefully we will see an audio version of Volume 2 here soon.
