About this listen

Legends speak of wizards with the power to rival Gods....

To Hump, it’s just a story. Apprenticed to a wandering wizard, he grew up on the road, following the coin on whatever quest it took them. He always believed his master was just an ordinary hedge wizard, until the old man suddenly died, and his book of spells bound to Hump’s soul.

Knowing no other life, Hump takes up his master’s staff and heads out alone into a world of dungeons and monsters. Scorned by the gods, wizards can trust only their own wit and skill to survive.

Lacking the godly gifts and grand ideals of the Chosen few, Hump fights for something else. If he wants to eat, he needs to work. And with a new Dungeon opening in Bledsbury, where better for a young hedge wizard to earn some coin?

So begins the path of The Wanderer. The White Flame. The Hedge Wizard.

Experience the start of a Progression Fantasy LitRPG Series about a working-class wizard out to forge his own path and prove that one does not have to be Chosen to do great deeds.

About the Series: Multiple magic systems, spells stolen from the gods, and an undefined path of progression, The Hedge Wizard brings a realism-focused spin to GameLit/LitRPG. Explore a world of long forgotten legends, where the Gods now reign and monsters roam.

An enjoyable listen, though there’s perhaps a little too much action with somewhat repetitive battle scenes, the characters, relationships and humour carry the story nicely and there’s a fairly good progression throughout, brought to life by Tim Gerard Reynolds fantastic narration.
Im looking forward to listening to the second book in the series.

Fun & action packed

The story was well paced, characters clearly defined and well rounded out. The narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds is a the best ( seriously, I could listen to this guy narrate a shopping list and be entertained).
Give this a listen, you will not be disappointed
