About this listen

An action-packed new progression fantasy from the bestselling author of Armor and Deadman Walking.

Locked away. Left to die. He'll master his powers to survive, then thrive.

Betrayed by his former gang and thrown into the Rendhold Underprison, Dantes has spent the last five years scraping by. A bastard of human, orcish, and elvish blood, he's lived on the periphery of the periphery, lying, cheating, and stealing to survive.

After a run of bad luck, he's made a powerful enemy who seeks his head.

But that's where his rise to power begins. Thanks to an unexpected alliance with a fanged friend, the druidic powers locked within him come to life. He has all the tools he needs to turn things around, he just need to master them.

Because you can never underestimate a Street Rat...

Don't miss this progression fantasy series perfect for fans of Dishonored, The Blacktongue Thief, The Lies of Locke Lamora, and Baldur’s Gate!

About the Series: A slow-burn progression fantasy focused on an Anti-hero MC with a code rising through the criminal underworld of a city-state using newfound powers and quick wits. MC's powers will develop slowly, but he will use them in creative ways to get ahead, and in the meantime he'll do whatever it takes.

A really solid beginning to a series. The Monte Cristo references are frequent and quite obvious, but it uses them well.
Interesting protagonist with an quite unique power set, a novel setting, and a fun premise. Look forward to the next installment!

It isn't "The Count of Monte Christo", But the character names are from the book, and the tale is similarish, but for all of that I enjoyed the tale and I will be back for more.

Each chapter leaves you wanting more. like its a problem... Im "just gonna listen to one more chapter..." and now its 7 chapters later and its 02:50 ( 2:50am for the Americans).

TLDR: Is good, do listen / read.

Rich lore and world building!

A great performance by the voice actor that kept me ingaged all the way through and suited the tone of the book.

The characters have witty dialog or in case of the mc monologue, if it was just that it would be good but the world or setting is also dark and gritty giving it a bit more weight. The story itself does not contain a bazillion plotwists and turns, but I does not need too. My only critique would be that it seems the story happens to the mc and he is just surviving it instead of him having agency and making thing happen, but with the setting I believe it's probably intentional.

Great performance, witty dialog, shrewd mc
