About this listen

They wanted a safe haven for the gifted. They built a powder keg instead.

Elias Wren never expected his first year at Vanguard Academy to feel like stepping into a warzone. Power comes early for Primeborn children—ice, fire, sound, sand, light—and the world fears what it cannot control. Vanguard promises protection and mastery, but behind its fortified walls lie secrets, tensions, and ghosts from battles fought long before the students were born.

Jace Harrow arrives under a darker cloud: rumored unstable, dangerously powerful, and already drawing the attention of factions beyond Vanguard. He and Elias form an unlikely bond—one that becomes the heart of the academy’s new generation and the spark that will define the future.

But enemies are closing in. Human extremists, Sovereign radicals, and cosmic forces none of them yet understand. And when tragedy strikes, the students learn their first terrible truth:

At Vanguard, innocence ends fast—and power always has a price.

Book One of the Primeborn Saga begins an epic journey of loyalty, trauma, rising power, and the choices that will decide whether the world breaks… or transforms.

I struggled slightly with the 3rd omniscient pov, and was a bit confused by the time jumps. It’s quite predictable but enjoyable story. The series got promise and I’ll probably listen to the next one.
