All of the incredibly powerful high mages died out centuries ago. Nobody expected one to return.

I was just a simple blacksmith apprentice when a visit by the mages of Essalin confirmed what I’d long suspected—I could touch the aether. Destined to be a mage, I’m plucked from my village alongside a feisty redhead so we could journey to the fabled city of the high mages to learn how to control and wield the aether.

The road there isn’t going to be easy though. Brutal orc raiders are spreading across the continent for the first time in a hundred years, and rogue mages are stirring chaos in their wake. I find some allies along the way, including a highborn blonde with a sassy mouth, but it’s clear to me that I’ll need all the help I can get.

Especially when my coming shakes the foundations of the entire continent—all the way to the long-dormant throne of the High Mage King itself.

I hope they’re ready for me.

I enjoyed the story line and the characters. The performances were also good, but the production and editing sucked! They cut off the ends of dialogue. At one point I thought there was something wrong with my WiFi but as I continued to listen I realized the editing was spliced so poorly I didn’t know that the characters dialogue was changing until I heard the character voice change.
I would recommend the book but not the audio recording. Though the voice actors did a fantastic job. The fault totally lies with the production quality.

Good story

Really enjoyed this book more than I expected. The MC was competent, the LIs and relationship building felt real, and the action and consequences were both exciting and realistic. Great job, can’t wait for book 2!

Excellent first book in series

When I started this book for the first half hour it felt a bit slow, but stick with it and the book will reward you with good characters, story, and spicy romance scenes. Great book for people who enjoy Fantasy Harem lit.

It felt like a slow start but worth it
