About this listen

Finn Harris should have been the one to die.

But he wasn't - his wife took his place. What was worse, he only had himself and his company to blame. They let their passion outpace their prudence, determined to revolutionize the world. While all innovation comes with a price, he never imagined it would cost him Rachael.

Nearly a decade later, Finn is content to hole himself up and wait out the rest of his life - what little he has left. That is, until his daughter intervenes, forcing him out of his grief and into a new virtual reality game developed by his old employer. They're calling it Awaken Online, and she believes there's something unusual going on inside the game. And since Finn knows the company, knows their tactics - she might be right.

Finn wasn't sure what he expected to find when he logged in. But it certainly wasn't a manipulative fire god or a school for mages - where the students are pitted against each other in deadly duels and the faculty isn't shy about maiming or injuring novice mages to prove a point.

Now Finn must learn to fight, for his own life and a chance at redemption. He'll need to prove that his fire hasn't been snuffed out.

That there's still an ember burning...

Brilliantly written
Fantastic Narration
An amazing addition to the Awaken Online Saga.
Finn is a worthy side step from Jason and the main story and as such could be taken as a completely independent story that could stand on its own even if you haven't read the other novels, as a complement to them it shines like a star and fleshes out the AO universe.
Between Travis's writing and David's narration you connect and empathise with the characters, genuinely caring about their futures.
I await his next novels with baited breath!

Another exceptional novel by Travis Bagwell

I enjoyed the book of the new series the basis is sound but the overall story is lack luster each chapter felt like the previous kinda hoping something new was going to happen and the progress and surprises and twists in the story where extremely predictable. I love the original books but was really hoping it was going to go up a step or at least be as interesting in game and out of game as the original books where.

Good basis OK story
