About this listen

Now a student at Wurthaven, Will is confronted with the truth of the present.

The powerful magic embodied by wizards like his grandfather is but a distant memory. Though the practice of the current day is timid and uninspired, Will needs the knowledge that’s preserved and managed by the college. At every turn he finds that sorcery is supreme, while wizards are trained merely to assist and support those who hold the real power - a power based on an evil so deep that few who are living know the truth of its foundation.

As a student of wizardry, he’s expected to know his place and stay in it, but Will isn’t like the other students. His grandfather’s teaching has made him into something different, something forgotten - something they will learn to fear.

If he can grow into his power, with every choice, every refusal to submit, Will creates more enemies, enemies who aren’t content to let him live in peace. Without friends or support, Will must survive the knives in the dark, for Cerria is no place for those who refuse to follow the rules.

Loved it!!!
Story, characters, narration, flow, all are extremely good.
Be warned, there are some colourful curses and strong use of language but it is not gratuitous, or overly used. It is mainly only one character, who is absolutely brilliant and very funny for an aged and bitter curmudgeon.
I had already purchased extra credits and bought the rest of the series before this book was finished. The narration and writing are so good that I seriously doubt the story will lose its way before the end.

Excellent

Loved it, and with my favourite narrator. Character arcs are enjoyable, just love the "comic" advice from grandpa.

Great

I finished it too quickly due to being hooked and not being able to put it down

I think I finished this in about a week, amazing story and William is great, smart, mischievous and naive. I hope he grows into an amazing wizard like his grandfather. The side characters are also quite cool, they leave you wanting more of their own story, like learning about Aragon’s past,

Amazing story and characters
