Publisher's summary
The last soul on the planet of Galleant let out his last breath, and another age of man had passed. While the Patrons of the Realm mourned the loss, little did they know that their next decision - an experiment born of desperation - would reverberate across the heavens. For the first time in their history, A New Age of Man will be given access to the magical powers of the Source.
Arran turned and froze.
The sourcestone was no longer the weathered grey of his youth. It was glowing vibrantly with the sigil of Talon, the Patron of Intelligence, a single dagger crossing a book.
“What the…?”
Arran had not expected much on his Source Day. No one in his family had ever been gifted. He would say his prayers, ceremonially pass into adulthood, and embark down the path of taking over his father’s smithy. That is, until the sigil of Talon appeared on the sourcestone. Thrust into the midst of Patron Talon’s intelligence training at the vaunted School of Meitellen, he will come to discover a new passion, friends that will become as family, and a mystery of deceit and corruption crossing the entire continent.

In ages past, so the histories tell us, our ancestors were ruled wisely and well by the Six Masters and their Courts – aided in their task by the magical Shards of Stone that bestowed power upon their holders. Today few Shards remain. The land has fallen into disrepair and lawlessness with the people reverting to a feudal existence, governed by the Brotherhood of Serenity which controls the remaining Shards and their magics with ruthless jealousy. Jaydon Farcast is an orphan, raised by his aunt and uncle, who dreams of becoming a soldier in the service of his Lord Derwain.

Murdered for daring to expose the deeds of the corrupt, Brunhilde Krahe is then snatched from the void of death by the capricious hand of cosmic coincidence. She finds herself reborn into a bizarre world of magic and conspiracy, eldritch knowledge in her brain and cosmic fire burning inside. Krahe copes with her own death the only way she knows how: by continuing her work in the new world. Ruthless mafiosos, unscrupulous politicians, even lowly gangsters—there is more than enough work to be found for an investigator with no qualms towards hyper-violence.

I didn't think retiring to Mexico with my Russian girlfriend would last—turns out I was right. What we didn't expect was that we'd be embroiled in a secret war between Heaven and Hell. Yeah, demons and angels exist, and they're about as powerful and deadly as we've been led to believe. To even the odds a little, the agency has decked me out with an arsenal that takes the best from above and the best from below. And humanity aren't exactly slouches, either. We have occultists–humans capable of bending supernatural creatures to their will.

Blown Away!
I have over 543 books currently in my audible collection. Out of all of those I can say with absolute certainty that book is within my top 5 most enjoyable listening experiences to date.
This story at its very roots is coming of age novel that has a progression fantasy frame, cozy slice of life roofing, and a great adventurous backyard.
This novel does so many things well but I truly want to highlight just how well the author navigates the motivations and ambitions of the characters in his story.
The narrator does a great job at giving each character a distinct voice if not entirely unique and was able to perform exceptionally.
I highly recommend you give this author and audiobook a chance. I can’t wait to listen to the next book.
