About this listen

From nightmares to knighthood, the true war starts now.

Brin has conquered the nightmares that once plagued him, and now his goal is to master the power of his class—illusion.

With a new skill that lets him split his mind and juggle multiple thoughts, his imagination is the only limit. But time is running out.

War looms as four nations unite against the Queendom of Arcaena. The Witch Queen’s undead army threatens to destroy everything in its path. When Brin is summoned by the leader of an order of knights, he’s plunged into a conflict that will shape the fate of the world.

Brin’s glass and illusion magic are getting stronger, but his greatest advantage is a dangerous secret: the allied kingdoms’ strongest warrior, a Paladin, is actually Arcaena’s spy. Will Brin reveal the secret to everyone, or wait for the perfect moment to strike?

One thing is certain: Brin’s trump card may be a secret, but Arcaena has secrets of her own…

This series has to be one of the best I’ve listened to. The narrator deserves so much praise not just read but telling the story with amazement and all the characters have their own quirks and problems making them feel so real.

Amazing

Good original series with its own fantastical setting and new magic that has its own story to tell. Looking forward to more of the story. Great pacing with enough slow world building to catch up with the history of the world.... and the author is just beginning... I really hope. I raise a cup to more legends created on this setup.

The WYIRD told my to listen and I had no argument to not to ^^

This series has taken a while to get into but Brin and Hog to name a few have really grown on me just as Brin had gained in power, knowledge and skills. This stage has completely changed the story as we now end up in a Knights order and a new role where everything is hidden again.
Particularly like how we see more machinations from the witches whilst maturing the world view Brin comes across.
