About this listen

Welcome to Bezim, where tribes of sword-slinging bravi race through the night, and where rich and idle alchemists make magic out of mixing the four planes of reality.

Siyon Velo, Dockside brat turned petty alchemist, scrapes a living hopping between the planes to harvest ingredients for the city's alchemists. But when Siyon accidentally commits and act of impossible magic, he's catapulted into the limelight—which is a bad place to be when the planes start lurching out of alignment, threatening to send the city into the sea.

It will take a miracle to save Bezim. Good thing Siyon has pulled off the impossible before. Now he has to master it.

A dazzling fantasy debut bursting with wild magic, chaotic sword-fighting street gangs, brazen flirting, malevolent harpies and one defiant alchemist.

The narration for this story was incredible! One of the best fantasy audiobooks I have ever read. I was totally immersed in the story - the world was rich and each character was so distinctive. I didn’t lose track of the story at any time and I loved the magic system and worldbuilding. Really really enjoyed this.

Wow! Best fantasy narration I have listened to in a long time.
