About this listen
The land is in turmoil.
Mages are hunted by men and gods alike.
With their last refuge fallen, two young mages must conspire against a god to show the world that their abilities aren't a curse; they are the only way to ensure lasting peace.
Under the threat of anti-magic fanatics, Wren struggles to find her place as a leader and to keep her people safe as they build a new home. Danoph searches for answers on a spiritual journey, determined to find out who he really is and where he came from in an effort to calm the coming storm.
The world has turned against mages, yet only they can save it.

For fans of the series, the aftermath of the Katie Hopkins / Daily Mail style slandering of a minority group of Mages has taken it's toll on the students and teachers of the Red Tower as they seek refuge and a place in the world with varying degrees of success. It has a much darker tone than the previous works in the series, dealing with the dangers of prejudice and the cycle of violence that this creates.
For those who disliked the slower pace of Mage Born, fear not, there are magical battles, rouge gods and bloody violence aplenty in this one, It is probably my favorite Stephen Aryan book to date due to the combination of intrigue, plot depth and action.
Nice continuation to Mageborn, faster pace

The narration takes this book out of this world!! Matt Addis narrates this book perfectly. His range of voices make the characters stand out with easy to recognise voices.
Where Matt Addis makes a real difference is his ability to use his pace, pitch and tone to bring the story alive, he conveys the atmosphere and the emotion of each moment, making them resonate with the listener.
He must research the books he narrates by reading each chapter taking time to understand what the author is trying to communicate, and I expect he speaks with the author to clarify how he will execute the narration.
He is the ultimate professional narrator!!
This book is good, and a mediocre narrator would not destroy the excellent story. Matt Addis complements the story perfectly.
Narration is extremely important with audio books, I try listening to a Brandon Sanderson book and could not get past the first chapter because I found the narration too bland.
I recommend this series of books, and I recommend you listen to any books narrated by Matt Addis that suit the genre of books you enjoy.
Superb!!

It’s quite a slow boil but it’s very intense throughout with great characters!
Great narration too!
Definitely a great pairing!
