Awaken

The Mortal Mage, Book 1

By: B. T. Narro

Narrated by: Simon Vance

Desil has spent his life training, but a promise to his mother has kept him from using his abilities for anything worthwhile. Now all he does is help his mother manage her tavern as his father rests in a grave. Desil knows there's at least one other mage somewhere in this territory who can do what he can; they share a connection through their magic, although they've never met. He stays up nights wondering what they might be able to accomplish together.

When an opportunity to not only meet this mage but change the course of his future finally presents itself, Desil jumps at the chance. A great leader has disappeared, leaving clues that only Desil and this other mage can see. War is coming, and following the clues could mark Desil as a traitor, but he trained his whole life for something. If this isn't it, then what is? He might unearth a new power capable of ending war, or he might die trying. Either is better than doing nothing.

great book

Off to buy the second one! A great fast pace. Very good job by the narrator.

Unable to Finish

The character imbalances were not something that I could get past. Felt like Sword of Truth series where a strong protagonist male character was constantly apologetic and demurring to other characters. Not for me. May be good for someone who enjoys the Sword of Truth novels.

great story

it was a great story I only wish it wasn't set to read straight forward not really any deviation to others

Clever plot

Excellence narration, brought the characters alive. In depth character development. Story was exciting to the end

Simon Vance is brilliant

Simon Vance’s performance… once again great. Downloaded mage for nowhere. That Nick Podehl idiot ruined another of BT Narros great stories.
