About this listen

In ages past, so the histories tell us, our ancestors were ruled wisely and well by the Six Masters and their Courts – aided in their task by the magical Shards of Stone that bestowed power upon their holders.

Today few Shards remain. The land has fallen into disrepair and lawlessness with the people reverting to a feudal existence, governed by the Brotherhood of Serenity which controls the remaining Shards and their magics with ruthless jealousy.

Jaydon Farcast is an orphan, raised by his aunt and uncle, who dreams of becoming a soldier in the service of his Lord Derwain. But those dreams are shattered when he discovers that he controls two of the legendary Shards – bestowing on him the gifts of both Mind Magic and War Magic and therefore making him, under the Brotherhood’s teachings, unnatural, perverted, and liable for summary execution. An Abomination.

Now Jaydon must learn to use his magics, fighting with both occult and warrior skills to evade the Brotherhood’s justice and protect his family.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book it captures the imagination and I have been unable to put it down. The characters are wonderful and the world is exactly what you want a magical world to be. I cannot wait for the next book. And although I tried every crystal in my house I do not unfortunately own a shard.

Addictive and wonderful

This is some great world building that I can’t help but keep coming back to thinking about! Narration is also excellent. Storytelling can be exposition heavy at times but apart from that I had a great time with this one.

Great world

I was hooked from the very start, I just couldn’t stop listening once I started, I needed to know what happened next at all times. Very much looking forward to the next in the series!
